Anyone else see Geoff Pitcher on Sky today ?

[Easy 10]

I watched the first half of Barnet v Woking today (yes, I was very bored and hung over), and paid particular attention to Pitcher, who is on loan at Barnet at the moment. Have to say, he didn't look half bad. OK, it was only against Woking, but he was full of running. Got forward at every opportunity, kept possession, passed it well, and whipped in a peach of a cross to lay it on a plate for Grazioli, who then proceeded to make a right pigs ear of it and headed wide.

On that showing, I'd much rather see Chippy and Pitcher in the centre of our midfield than Chippy and Oatway/Rehmann.
Bring him back, Mark.

I can't work out what Pitcher has done wrong, unless part of his fee was on a pay per play basis. He was the last player that we paid cash for, and that was about 3 years ago.

Having said that Adams, Taylor, Hinshelwood, Coppell and now McGhee have been happy for him to rot in the reserves, so perhaps they know more than we do

 

[Fran Hagarty]

I saw the second half. By then, Pitcher had unfortunately had to go off, injured. However, the commentators had been impressed with him and said that, had he remained on, he would have been a likely contender for man of the match.

BTW Jamie Campbell was playing for Woking. Wasn't he out of football for a while? I seem to remember him being in trouble forpunching the manager, or someone, at Exeter.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

yeah, i remember that fh - i cant remember why he was in trouble tho

Pitcher like peircy never got a fair crack and peircy is getting there, pitcher is a decent player on his day.

 

[Windmill]

I remember seeing Pitcher come on as a sub against Tranmere (away) a couple of seasons ago, and he looked quite useful.

Didn't we pay cash for Leon

 

[El Presidente]

No cash paid for Leon unless we are promoted. You can picture the scenes now, Albion get to the play-off final at Cardiff and the 40,000 stripes fans who turn up are slightly bemused to find a strike force of Anne Widdicombe and Sid Little, with one of the Chuckle brothers in goal (no change there then some of you will say) as Uncle Dick tries to avoid shelling out £100,000 to Chelsea

saw the 1st half if he had stayed on he would have got man of the match.managers take a lot from how hard a player trains are puts into training maybe he just does'nt show it enough to get a chance but does when he playing.
but he did look useful at that level?

 

[Brovion]

I saw it as well and yes he did look useful. But guys, we're talking about the Conference, just because someone's good at that level doesn't mean they'd be a good player for us.

Having said that I would like to see him given a run in our team, like others have said I don't think he's had a fair crack of the whip.

It was/is

 

[El Presidente]

Just call me El Sherlock from now on!

 

[BensGrandad]

He has found his level and should stick there he is not a patch on Yeates, Chippy, Hart, Jones, Piercey or Rehman so where would he play for us on the bench sitting next to Oatway and hopefully neither coming on. The aim is to win games and please most of the fans not individual fans.

i always thought he was a good player, just never got the chance

where is he now?

Didn't Piercy retire?

 

[Scotty Mac]

Didn't Piercy retire?

yes - but the original posts on this thread are from some years back

 

[Silent Bob]

He's at Havant and Waterlooville now.

What's funny is that everyone is going on about how we need someone better to partner Chippy, with Charlie on the bench. This was when we were in division 2 and the same Charlie is now a certain starter and club captain.
