Tom Pope

[Robbie,s Torquay runner]

Its funny that i got slaughtered for saying he has only had 3 good months in his career ( age 28 ) and being told his value was around £1m if anyone wanted to buy him!!!

 

He is not in the class of a Marc Richards or even a Lee Hughes......ie consistent year after year

 

Never rated Richards, big time Charlie take away his pens and he didn't score that many either especially considering he was by far the highest earner,bad influence in the dressing room and the pubs !

I agree and also what are all these clubs he's been prolific for?

[nspvfc]

I find it astonishing that some people on this forum are so quick to turn against their teams best asset and are advocating the return of Richards. It is Pope and his goals (most of which were sublime) that have put us into the position we are in.

[kingvale]

rest him for a bit and play williamson.

[ELDERBEZZA]

That's it then,Pope will score on Saturday:yes:

[For Us All]

That's it then,Pope will score on Saturday:yes:

Fingers crossed !

Utter rubbish

[Spunk Trumpet]

Tom Pope is having a lean spell and his confidence has been affected but hey doesn't the guy deserve our support?

 

Absolutely Mike.

 

All players and staff deserve our support. Especially through lean spells. Including a manager who has guided us to the brink of promotion even though we started the season with no hope whatsoever.

Wouldnt you say so??

 

Or do you have an agneda??

 

People knock Pope, you cannot see why.

People knock Adams, i cannot see why.

The difference is im not about to knock anybody, staff or players, considering where we are.

 

I find your constant Micky Adams bashing pathetic.

 

Sorry mate but you know me, i speak my mind.

Knock the man if we fail to get promoted.

Until then support the man.

I never abuse either players or the manager in public which is more than MA can say isn't it.

I do find his team selection and tactical set up a rather strange one. When will he realise that you can't play with two midfield men against four or five?

The other night he set up better and we at least got a result and I have no complaints on that one.

 

Let me make one thing 'crystal' I have no agenda against our manager.I was happy as Larry when he came back and I don't want him sacked but he is as stubborn as a mule. If his stubbornness was proving to be correct then we couldn't comment but lets face it, it isn't is it?

Why did he sign Birchall because if he isn't good enough to take Vincent place on his current form?

This is a difficult one. Maybe Birchall was a signing he just took a chance on, an extra body, given we don't appear to be in any financial difficulty now. It appears he is still not match fit, but he might yet prove useful in the final few games.

Why then has he just been called up for T &T. Also Vantaa he has been here long enough to have got himself fit even if he wasn't before he arrived. It just doesn't make any sense.

You don't have to be match fit to contribute for 10-20 minutes from e bench.

 

The fact that Adams has hardly used Birchall is a bit of a strange one.
