Not being funny but players like these would be on most teams radars. Just depends on who is willing to take a risk on signing them.

You've misunderstood me Bridgeman. I wasn't referring to Wes' contributions on the non-league football front, but to his contributions to the Current Affairs Forum. I didn't particularly enjoy or agree with his posts on that section, but I feel that when the Current Affairs section was closed that this signalled the beginning of the end for him on here. I think that it's highly likely that Wes didn't enjoy seeing his posts ridiculed (on a subject that I know that he holds dear), and I've always believed that this is the reason that he stopped posting on here. All being well, we may see him posting again when we return to the Football League in May.  You're right Brizzle, I did misunderstand your post, I didn't really participate in the Current Affairs section so wouldn't be aware of the Twilightism that went on there  It wasn't so much the Twilightism that did for him Bridgeman, it was (whisper it now) The Lizard People. It was bound to end badly, and it did.  |

Well it appears according to some in the know on here that they aren't and according to those in the know the club don't appear to take any notice of the recommendations of those in the know either, so we have no chance in recruiting anyone decent in January apparently  |

With reference to the OP, there are a lot of Scouts out there who knew all about the likes of Austin etc and made him known to the club many years ago...that's old news, and of course lately the likes of Paterson have come along. Certainly Paterson showed a lot of potential in his early Southampton days, before not exactly setting the world alight at Southend or Burton, just because he is doing well at the moment does not mean we have to sign him or are even able to sign him. Yes he is a good player and yes he is scoring plenty of goals, but we can't sign every non-league player who looks like he has potential or is on a good run, the club simply can't afford to do that, whether we like that or not, it's just not possible.
Is it worth sending someone at expense to look at a player we already know we can't afford to sign? I will leave you to decide.

Well I'm feeling mischeivious at the moment, why shouldn't we sign everyone that everyone else knows about that we can't afford ? I mean there's nothing like having a large squad to pick from is there ? |

I think Padstow was trying to make a much wider point it wasn't just about Matt Paterson. |

Yep, I know, I was also making a wider point, but using Paterson as an example, much the same way as Padstow did.
Can't say I'm happy about missing out on these players, but that is just the way things are at the moment, we have to try and not get frustrated about it.

Justin Bennett?! I've seen Gosport a number if times over the years. Always been a handy player, but easily performing at or above his peak now. He's about 32 ish aswell!

Can't say I'm happy about missing out on these players, but that is just the way things are at the moment, we have to try and not get frustrated about it. I suppose my wider point is this. Things are going well on the pitch now but they won't always go well. We may be disappointed in players leaving, we may be disappointed in the signings we make and we will be disappointed if we don't achieve promotion this season. Now is the time to be building up a bank of goodwill with fans so that when the frustrations surface they are kept under control and do not turn nasty as they have done in the recent past. A short but sensible communication from the club, to Padstow or anyone else who tries to help, would suffice. |

Justin Bennett is 32. Time for a new notebook, Padstow. And scored 25 goals in the league below us possibly soon to be the same league,age is no barrier if you are fit and good at your job.How old was Lambert when Liverpool signed him or when he got his first England cap |

No Wes passes a lot of info to me for me to follow up.Due to his illness he is unable to do so himself I hope that Wes is keeping well Padstow. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to pass on my regards. Such a shame that he was hounded off of the Forum. He is getting there but it is a long road to recovery,and i will definitely pass on your good wishes and hope some day he will post again but i feel he thinks there are too many with closed minds |

A few years ago both Wes and myself recommended Charlie Austin to R,he signed for Swindon withour Rovers even looking at him,and today i hear that another striker both Wes,Fordingbridge qaned myseklf have recommended to the club,Matt Patterson of Gosport Borough has signed for Swindon,without Rovers bothering to look.I wonder if Swindon will take Justin Bennett from under our noses from Gosport,he has only scored 25 goals this season so not worth looking at.I despair,perhaps in future we should just by pass Rovers and tell Swindon instead.It seems the club do not want peoples recommendations,if that is the case why not come out and tell us so we can stop wasting our time If you haven't got the message by now Padstow you never will!! Spouting your poisonous drivel again. You slag Rovers off to the hilt,slag Darrel Clarke and his signings off to the hilt and wonder why neither want your biased help. just disappear and leave them to it. Darrel is doing a brilliant job as it is by the looks of it. Toodle pip. Ok thats fine by me,i will carry on working for the club who employ me,no more recommendations to Rovers and if you can hear the bugle its my last post |
