Cheltenham Town are an honest little club representing a posh town where football is not a passion (1. Horses 2. Elgar etc). They have overachieved in establishing themselves in Division One. They only have 3,000 fans- committed and passionate.
Strikers go down injured.
Honest Chairman explains "We haven't enough money to recruit anybody new."
Honest hard working manager, John Ward, appeals to 3,000 loyal fans -"Will you get us a striker, please !?"
Fans dig deep, hold coffee mornings, bring and buy sales etc.
Chairman and manager thrilled with response, and go out shopping with the fans' contributions, and tomorrow they unveil the answer to all their prayers- Andy Smith...........
Can anybody out there understand my uncomfortable feeling ?
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

Interesting thought, lingering at the very back of my mind too. However, I am quietly confident he may seize this opportunity to improve - slightly.
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

You never know - the manager has a great track record and I am sure that he must have seen something in Smith. Lets give him a chance now he is supposedly fully fit for the first time since joining PNE.
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

I dont think any of us have seen enough of the guy to make a judgement. I have no hard feelings towards him and wish him all the best
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

We really do have to be glad that we do not need to get involved in raising money for the club to purchase/loan players.

I have a friend who supports Cheltenham, and have been to see them twice this season. If they feel that Smith is an improvement on the strikers they have then I think there really must be some potential stemming from his return. All being well I shall go down to a friday night game ahead of the Crystal Palace game at Deepdale on the 25th. Because I do not get to see the reserves that would be the first time I would see Smith for many years.

Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

Everything that has been coming out from the training ground of late re AS has been fairly impressive & in saying that i have not been a fan since day one BUT as said above we have not seen enough of the guy & Pa Broon certainly had an eye for a player so i say lets see what Ward can get out of him - if i had to pick between Smith, JJ & Stock AS is the one i would like to see show the reason why he was signed in the first place.
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

Whatever people feel about Andy Smith and I am the same regarding his skill wise, the boy is a grafter on the pitch, doesn't sulk and does put the effort in.
If he gets lucky and scores a few then a club could end up liking him.
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

Good luck to the lad-not up to our standard at the moment, but who knows, a good loan spell could se the making of him-past the "has potential" stage now though, needs to start performing.
 
Re: Uncomfortable Feeling.

I wish Smith all the best. I can't see him ever being good enough to break into our side, but if he can do a job for someone else, get himself fit and playing then I hope he does well. He's been unlucky and deserves a break. Who knows, if he bangs a few in some clubs might be interested and we might get some money for him.😱
