Didn't work out at all but to say one of the best ever after two games is just a bit silly really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'd say Richard Graham promised plenty as a ball playing centre half and although Craig Fleming played more at full back he most certainly had the attributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a striker called Jacob Hazel play for Whitby 3 times now. I think he's impressive but know nothing. He's biggish, strong and holds defenders off. He's not slow and leads the line well. His goal scoring record is better than 1 in 2 and he can score from inside and outside the box. He played 2 games for Chesterfield, debut against us strangely but has been non league ever since and not even conference level at that. He's 27 and my view was that if he's not been picked up by a league club by now people with more expertise than me must think he isn't up to it. However having seen Blythe twice I think Hazell would be a great improvement- not a great yardstick I know. Also Nevitt who scored for Tranmere last night has come from 2 leagues lower down. I wondered if you'd any knowledge of him. Whitby are at Ashton on Tuesday August 24th so I'm going to go and have another look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevitt was offered to Oldham before Tranmere looked at him but we didn't want him, he's much better than Blyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Sean Gregan wasn't bad going forward was he? Granted, not quite as pacy as Warhurst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember about 20 years ago watching Yeovil in non league who had a big centre forward called Warren Patmore (140 goals in 287 games), he held the ball up well and was superb in the air. One day they played championship league leaders Bolton away in the FA cup and he gave Spanish international Ivan Campo a torrid time and at the age of 30 got his chance in the EFL when Yeovil got promoted. Maybe the one at Whitby could too as he's a similar goal scoring record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt was another one coming from excelling in non league. I don't think we are looking for the talent on our own doorstep enough these days.

The obvious one for me would be John Ryan….Hart is a great signing and unusually for us looks like a proper footballer. After seeing him just the once I’d be trying to pin him down on a longer contract as soon as possible because like you say I don’t think he’ll be here for long playing like that!!!

John was great wide, but never played centre back to my recollection. Besides Warhurst the nearest I can think if is Jonathan Grounds...and if he went on to play in the Championship so should Hart, who IMO shows far more passion than Grounds who I thought was languid at times.
