Or perhaps Diamond at Harrogate or Anderson at Bristol Rovers this season.
We have had a few good ones. I think it works out 1 every 3 years or so.
We have kissed a lot of frogs on the way.
Loanees coming into a team doing well, will themselves do well as they feed off the vibe.
Recently we have had loans arriving and expecting to perform in a squad bereft of morale and positivity.
Add to that the lower down the pyramid you are the poorer the players you’ll get and it’s no wonder we’ve not had any Jack Corks or Henri Lansburys lately!
A retained list of supporters renewing season tickets?
Since poverty kicked in, Renee’s assessment is spot on.
The chances of a Cork, Yates, Lansbury or Toney are all distant historical memories.
No untried and untested youngsters from the ‘probably can’t/won’t make it’ pile!
