At times last Saturday Fane was playing in front of Gardner (and scored a goal). I'd not seen Gardner before in that position, so it could be Wellens has hit on something good here. I had thought of him as a lower league Fat Frank who you wanted to set up with as many shooting chances as possible. Shouldn't he be feeding off Holloway's layoffs?

Clifford Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 With all respect to Gardner if Jose signs won't the recently relegated man be sat on the bench? Fane and Banks did a very good job last season as did Green back end. Are we in danger of expecting too much from someone given mixed reviews from chesterfield fans? Not seen much but in reality Baxter half fit is better than Gardner in terms of being the creative player. Still, I'm sticking with Jose isn't coming despite me singing his song all afternoon.

It might be a one off anyway, but good to see a coach trying different things. Hopefully his coaching along with Tommy and Shez will prove effective this season. PS. Gardner looked in great shape, no fat on him. Edited July 10, 2017 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If JB has turned down an offer at Everton that would certainly mean never playing first team football, I think that says he wants to play and not sit on a bench/or in the reserves and take the cash. In fact, when we first signed him hadn't he turned down a contract with them in order to get first team football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLen Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 As well as Baxter we're also being linked with Chris Lines and Giles Coke to make him feel at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
