Jonson Clarke-Harris

[cerbera45]

But it took him until he was 26 to learn his trade properly...use his strength...gain confidence in his ability....get a run of games....

Na that’s ludicrous....should’ve stuck with the opinions formed when he was 19...it was obvious then that he wasn’t going to make it...

You'll notice that there's a comment from as recently as 2019 calling JCH "useless"

Good old SZ with all those experts on youth development and what it takes to be a pro footballer ???

Every bit as useless yesterday as when we had him on loan a few years ago.

Wonder how he has made a living as a footballer all these years.

Not doing to bad at the moment.

He was only just 18 - played a total of 15 minutes in October 2012 in 3 substitute appearances 2 of which were away. Didn’t he have a bit of a naughty boy reputation? Grown up now - 40 of his 64 goals have come since August 2018.

He certainly did.

He also had an attitude problem during his short spell with us.

He certainly wouldn’t have fitted into ‘the project’ at that time - and rightly so.

I'd love to know how far back we're allowed to go when imposing today's standards on the past.

I'd love to know how far back we're allowed to go when imposing today's standards on the past.

As far back as we need to go it would seem.

It's like someone judging me for my late teen years when I turn 30 in ten years' time. No doubt I'll be a totally different person and societal standards will have changed too.

It is a bit crazy if you ask me. Not even saying that he was right for anything he said either, but punishment in such drawn-out hindsight is cruel in this instance.

I look forward to all you over 65s getting a summons fir historical drink driving offences ?

The CSA back-dated claims - totally rinsed me, turned over court order too.

 

[Benfleet A1]

I trust everyone at the FA are having their social media pasts delved into, you know, just in case.

 

[OldBlueLady]

This is utterly ridiculous.

He was on loan with us in 2012! He is still only 28.
