Charles Vernam

I thought the second half was better.

Charles Vernam did come close, um, where he had a shot that rattled the bar and which was pushed on by Morosi, but we didn't do enough again to, to win the game, and it turned out to be a pretty poor performance in how it fizzled out.

So there is that element of concern that I think some of the...

I don't think a lot of these players have really stepped up yet, and I've been looking at more of the senior players which I don't think have really kicked on so far this season.

Charles Vernam and I think Andy Cook have been two big ones for that.

And, um, I think with some of the players that have come in as well, um, I'm not necessarily writing them off or anything because there's still like high potential for quite a lot of players, the likes of Ewan Morgan, Sonny Finch has come in.

But there's been elements and times in which I've looked at them and I think to myself, "I don't think you're quite ready yet." And, uh, and I, I think we've had one too many of them.

Uh, Grimsby came on a, a little bit in the second half, and Vale probably understandably seemed to tense up a little bit.

But mostly, they restricted Grimsby to kind of Charles Vernam shots from range, which is, you know, decent.

Morosi tipped one onto the bar, and that was that.

So I wanted to look a little deeper.

I'm sorry I wasn't on but I sort of-- There were a number of opportunities again, again yesterday and we got him into what you'd call Chaz-type positions and he wastes it either the ball goes wide or he can't get his shot off or whatever.

And that's a big part of how we create chances where particularly against these sort of like these sort of what you might call low block sides you're looking for a moment of quality from a Vernam or a Walker.

So I don't want to sort of dig Chaz out because I think there's a number of players who are performing below the level of what they are expected.

Um, I thought last week was a nonsense we lost.

Yes.

Of course you do.

The, the other point is about players being out of form and I think we've probably got some of our key players out of form at the moment, um, Vernam and Green being the main ones although I think Green had a, had a, had a good few weeks recently.

Um, but I think the point about Cook is the more interesting one.

They crush Creepy Crawley by two goals to nil.

Should it have been more? Who cares? Who gives a fuck? Should Charles Vernon take a penalty ever again? Absolutely not.

Was he told that after the second penalties? He absolutely was.

Let's go and talk about it.

So, yeah, up to third, I don't think there's anything to moan about.

Yungi, we need to find something of content to talk about.

Charles Vernon, is he done? Is he finished? Is he a washed up flush? Is he

done? Can't score from

I still remember Brian Mbermo's ball hitting the crossbar.

And even just before that, the noise of Charles Vernon's goal...

I'm reminiscing a lot here, so I do apologise.

Because the...

The noise of Blundell Park when Charles Vernon scored, I've never heard anything like that.

I've been going to games for the best part of 12 years and nothing close has come to that.

I know you've probably been sort of asked it already, but just to lead up to it, obviously the night itself and sort of the aftermath of it, because I'd imagine that obviously yourself and the club was in high demand in terms of a lot of things and stuff in terms of the media.

If you were to go into a pub quiz on Sunday night and you've got to take two players with you, what two players are you
