The Wolf Bites Back

[VindePays2009]

I recall that we signed a wee winger from Leek Town, then let him go back for the rest of the season.

However, he is our player.

Isn't it worth going to them and saying that our need is greater than theirs at the moment, and can we have him for a couple of games to see if he's Roy of the Rovers?

It would be a pity to go down if a young lad who might possibly make a difference continues to be farmed out.

But certainly let Park go back, and sit at the feet of the master, Craig Hignett. He might learn something.

Jordan Johnson has recently rediscovered his goal scoring touch for promotion hopefuls Leek. He had not scored since late January before last Saturday (he was on 30 goals). Now he has hit 3 in the last two matches.

Sorry to pour cold water on that idea, Mick, but the Alex have signed Johnny Johnstone the winger from Leek Town not Jordan Johnson who, as you rightly said, has banged in over 30 goals for the Blues this season.

Are you surprised we haven't signed a goalscorer?

Cheers for letting me know, Aston Alex. I really thought it was the other guy...did not realise there were two with similar soundings in that team. Perhaps we should have signed the pair of them. I always thought that Johnny Johnstone belonged on the Thunderclap Newman thread with his Bandwagon. You know, the 1970 hit: Blame it on the Pony Express.

True but let's not forget, it is a big step up!
Managers always make misjudgements but let's trust SD on this one. It is another judgment call here, and only time will tell if it is a good one, (i.e.: if Johnson gets snapped up by another L1 club and bangs in a hat-trick against us! )

Jordan Connerton anyone?
