I would have thought that won't help the morale of someone who is still our player. CH making it very clear he doesn't want him here, the sooner he leaves the better really for all concerned, as he doesn't look like he has that 'prove em wrong' attitude anymore. Shame, as I was a Hawley sympathiser from the beginning. He made it harder and harder for me to defend him.
So you're the one !!! Actually I will come out of the closet and admit I was also a Hawley sympathiser. He was expected to play a role - target striker - he's not equipped to play. Played alongside a half-decent striker such as Ryan Bowman, we could have possibly seen a different player. Against City, he came on as sub and almost the first thing he was asked to do was take a penalty. Stupid. We know what happened and to miss a penalty against City consigned him to the scrap heap for evermore. In his favour, he never hid - he always worked his socks off and tackled back but it seems he is destined to move on. I doubt that there will be many regrets but I wish him well.
On the subject of failed Gulls strikers, I see that Alan Connell has today re-joined Grimsby where he had a very successful season or two.
