Tranmere fans seem fairly happy with Bliss, but Jamie Lucas went off injured after 25 minutes
"He (Blisset) did more in 35 minutes than Margetts did all game! I forgot Margetts was playing at one point!"

Is that a statement . . . or a question? The guy turned professional less than a year ago - I think it's far too early to be making that kind of judgement. Similar things would have been said this time last year about Matt Taylor and Stuart Sinclair and they'd been playing Conference football much longer than Blissett has. We're so quick to write players off - he was signed largely for his potential which suggests development rather than signing a finished article. Rather like Andy Sandell (another player written off as Conference standard by many who went on to have a decent league career) our promotion probably hasn't helped him in that regard. |

good luck to Bliss he gave up his job to join Rovers and he did play a part in getting Rovers out of the conference.

If I was to list al of the players that were written off by Rovers 'supporters' after 5 minutes, then went on to play at a higher standard, I would be here all day. Some people don't understand the concept of development. |

Just to clarify, I found the post by LPGas (Found his level) to be very harsh about a young player still getting to grips with playing full-time football. After all he is one of us now, and should be able to expect support from the terraces, because he has done nothing wrong to date. I like to think of him as a work in progress, and admire his enthusiasm for the game and club, and look forward to him returning from Tranmere having benefitted from a change of scenery for a month or two. After all he was signed for his potential, and not as the finished article. |

After all he was signed for his potential, and not as the finished article. Yes - I think that's become detached from the original comment so it looks a bit confusing. I was actually agreeing with you. Nathan Blisset is clearly something of a punt taken by the club but by all account the guy is giving it everything at this short at being a pro and it's potentially a good story so yes I feel we (as in fans) owe him a bit of patience. If it doesn't work out ho-hum but I find some of the criticism of him a bit OTT to say the least. Sometimes people have a real bias against tall players that look awkward and forget what an asset that actually is. |

Try substituting Nathan Blissett for Devon White in the following video . . . |

Thing is, Devon White was actually a very good player. If Nathan only ends up half as good he'll be worth persevering with.

Surprised he spent a spell on loan at Cambridge Utd the season before he joined us as he wasn't good enough to get into Kidderminster's team!
Perhaps we're all expecting too much from him and he's destined to remain a Conference player, after helping us get promoted?

I quite agree, and here's (yet) another opportunity to see him prove it . . . . . . oh, and to see our friends from south of the river make fools of themselves once again. Why even Roger Malone made a comment about them being able to take their medicine, and he was about as red as you could get. |

Why even Roger Malone made a comment about them being able to take their medicine, and he was about as red as you could get. And also a player with a strikingly similar kind of trajectory to Nathan Blisset. Had a couple of bites at the cherry as a pro and only really struck with us thanks to a somewhat fortunate break that Gerry Francis remembered him and was prepared to take a punt at which point he gave up the day job as an electrician. Blisset has done something similar - but when Devon White first signed people thought Francis had lost his marbles. |
