Gatting Out on Loan

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sussex offered him a contract as well. I wonder if that's still a possibility

Nice option to have. If I was him, I'd seriously consider it.

 

[Gully]

Not a bad move, the BSP is a fairly good standard these days and not a million miles from Divs 1&2, it seemed to do Jakey no harm when he went to Aldershot.

That's cos you can't see further than the end of your nose.

Not really. Just voiced the unpopular notion that Gatting wouldn't cut it as an Albion first team player long before the rest of the flock thought it safe to agree.

Had Doug Loft bang to rights as a waste of space the same night he was disgracefully given an unearned contract by McGhee.

Honestly can't see a single other duffer on the horizon at the moment, but spotted these two a MILE off

 

[Yorkie]

I agree with you about Doug Loft but we'll agree to disagree about Gatts.

 

[Padders]

Good luck to him. I cant understand the negativity arouind him either. He is confident, knows where the goal is, and is a goal poacher. He does lack a raw pace, but with the right type of service (i.e. dont hoof it over the top) he will score goals.

Woking looked like a reasonable unit in their pre season game against us in the Summer. Had a winger who got some good service in so hopefully he might get some goals.

The loan move to Aldershot didn't do Jake any harm a few years back.

 

[Icy Gull]

Held the ball up better than any other player at the club last season. His pace is a problem but with the right player alongside him and a bit of experience he'll do well at this level imo.

So wrong about Gatting he will get goals for us in the future is just a young confidence player. The moans from the fans don't exactly do him the world of good
Loft has done enough to earn contracts under 2 managers so can't be that bad. Its a squad game and he is a squad player. Hardly going to be on a fortune so does it really matter

The Aldershot fans loved Jake. We bumped into a coach load of them at a services on the way back from a game.

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

He's just a kid, give him a chance.

You're wrong.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Good move for him. Gatting was never cut out for this league, and a drop to Non-league is an good opportunity for him.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

You're wrong.

We'll see

 

[the right footed denilson]

We will

 

[Easy 10]

THPP is RIGHT

Gatting will NEVER make it as a striker in the Football League with us or anyone else. I know its NICE to be NICE about young players and all that, and that obligatory word POTENTIAL comes into it time and time again. But I'm afraid I have to call it on 1st team performances I've seen him in, and he just ain't gonna be good enough.

Ship him out by all means. But Joe Gatting is NOT going to be a name you see in the top goalscoring stats for L1 or L2 this season, next season or the season after. Its a nice thought, but it just ain't gonna happen.

Sorry.

 

[saltash seagull]

well i think he could do a job.

ok struggled at times last season but he holds the ball up well and knows where the back of the net is

along someone with a bit of pace think he will come good over the next 2 or 3 seasons

 

[Dover]

I'm with Easy and THPP on this one. Probably a smashing lad but he just does not cut the mustard.

 

[Kukev31]

He scored quite a few goals last season, and considering how little time he played, I bet he's got a better strike rate than a lot of our strikers. He's a good player, and I hope this loan spell does him the world of good.

 

[British Bulldog]

I really hope Gatting makes the grade at the Albion because I think he's a talented kid but like a lot of fringe players it's make or break time for him this season.
