[Bedford Red]

Seems like he's found his level and is doing ok there.

I thought he played rather well up front with Sam Parkin.

Good link-up player but unlucky not to score.  He was the old Premiership reserve team strikers leading scorer and didn't he bang in three for our reserve team?

Parkin went through a purple patch when Slabber was here, they played well together. Could have been a different story is Slabber had just got one goal.....who knows eh!

He was a great player i thought we should have signed him.

He was a donkey! I remember one game where he missed three pretty simple chances. Got into the right position every time but never finished anything off.

Perhaps given another chance he would do okay?

[DMR]

Yes he played well with Parkin.

Yes we all thought once he got one he'd get loads.

No he couldn't hit a barn door from 2 yards.

No we shouldn't have signed him.

I thought he was a good player - a better player I've seen playing in person is also in that squad.

Andy Bishop (York) - apart from being a pretty boy - he's very good and I think he's worth a look by STFC - anyone know how to recommend him to the club?

yep shout out during the game .. OI IFFY >> SIGN THAT BISHOP FROM YORK .. HES QUALITEEEE

Dazzza - exactly my point fella!

Like Freddie Eastwood, he's one of Kingy's rare transfer cock-ups in my view. Sam was prolific during his spell alongside Slabber and it was surely only a matter of time before he notched a goal or two. The gap between Conference and Lg.1 is not that great anymore so it's no great surprise to me seeing him do so well.
