TBF the 2nd goal on Sunday was one of the best I’ve seen in E10 for a while.
Poor defending, I know, but still a fantastic effort.
Jorome Slew I think was his name, good enough for us?? nah we’ve got James Alabi :lol:

Definitely good enough for us, only young was at Sheffield utd under 23s banged in 20 odd goals already this season. Would take their no 7 as well, better than Dayton who is crocked again.

It's a big step up. Outpacing Coulson and outmuscling Clay are not signs that you're good enough to do it professionally.

Ruels goal was a cracker, by the way. Outmuscles the lump of a centre half then stands the next one up perfectly before dipping inside and unleashing a rocket. Can't begin to accept that he's being kept out of the squad by Alabi.

You couldn’t make it up could you.

One is a poor player who seems to get chance after chance, the other is a young player with great potential who doesn’t get a chance at all. How’s that for future planning.

I suppose minutes in NL is some consolation for him. Though I’d sooner him get minutes with us.

Was at Goole and Chester before he joined M & T and still only 21 years old. Is there a reason why he was given a free transfer by three clubs?

Inevitably, Slew's goal has won the vote.

Didn't think it was inevitable myself. It's a great goal, sure, but there are several better in that reel (including Ruels).

I was referring to the inevitability of it winning, because it just adds to the embarrassment of it all.
