Having watched him and that game vs Whitehawk he didnt look to be as good a goalscorer as the chap who scored Hawks first goal, but in fairness that was only watching Whitehawk once.

20/1 with Hills to be top league 1 scorer. Thats got to be worth a punt?

Nope. He'll be suspended half the season.

My post was with reference to Holroyd I assume yours is about Murray as I can see no reason for suggesting Holroyd will be suspended for any length of time.

Anyone who saw the Aston Villa game could see his class! His touch and ability is second to none for this division, hence the nickname "The League One Berbatov"!!

Sorry. Added a comment about glenn murray to a thread entitled 'glenn murray'. My mistake I'm sure
Don't care about Holroyd, other than I want him off the Albion books to pursue alternative employment elsewhere - anywhere! - ASAP.

Only said that because the previous few posts were about Holroyd. I think that Gus will have sorted out GM head and that we shall b enefit from it but must agree about Holroyd his purchase was one of Gus's mistakes. Perhaps he will prove us all wrong but I doubt it I have more confidence in Murray shining this season.

No worries BG, to continue the Holroyd sub-topic, I think one of the things Poyet will be judged on is how he deals with the Holroyd thing. The player is clearly a dud at this level, but maybe he does wondrous things in training, though I very much doubt it. Let's see if Gus gradually eases Holroyd out of the picture or if he insists that he has a part to play in a team supposedly pushing for promotion.
Seems to me perfectly clear that if he perseveres with Holroyd then he is, in this instance, a poor judge of a player, and I'd back my judgement against his any day of the week.

I fully expect him to be sent out on loan to a Div 2 side probably Aldershot Barnet or similar possibly Gillingham to score some goals as obviously the step up to Div 1 was too much for him. That would be the best solution for both him and the club as nothing would be achieved by sending him to a conference side again.

Agree. See how he comes on as a Div 2 player then decide on his future. I think Div 1 was a step up in class too far.

We agree on something
Aldershot took Jake on loan before he went to Shrewsbury perhaps CH should follow a similar route.

I wish I could judge players as quickly as most of my fellow posters. I thought Peter O'Sullivan, Steve Piper, John Templeman, John Robinson, John Crumplin, Paul Rogers, Charlie Oatway, Richie Barker and Jamie Campbell were all rubbish for the first few games and in Sully's case a whole season, mind you I may have been right about JC. I also thought Alan Duffy, Brian Bromley, Graham Howell, Roderick Thomas, George Ley and Bobby Zamora were fantastic when I first saw them, One right again?

Agree too. However I cannot honestly see any leading division 2 side (not good enough) or for that matter a struggling side taking him on (hasn't the brawn or strength). I don't want to knock the lad but I cannot see him at Crawley or Eastbourne either. They have better. Perhaps a year or two in the reserves?

You'd back your judgment ahead of gus poyets? Have you ever actually heard yourself? You're unbelievable. I tend to find a good rule of thumb is to just think the opposite of whatever your views are, and I'm pleased to see that again I disagree with you.
Mellotron, will you please stop saying exactly what I want to say before I get the chance, in every thread.

Is Holroyd really that bad? I ask as I've not seen him. Worse than Richard Tiltman is a pretty big call, I don't think I've ever seen a worse striker than he was....
