WTF are we going to do now, our forward team is already falling apart at the seams - what else can go wrong!!!!!

[Coffin Ender]

Good footballer, but maybe a bit 'technical' for this level. Seven goals in 53 games is certainly disappointing. Still, frees up some wages for a striker.

[Chris1]

He was never a proper striker and it's one less contracted player for the new gaffer to worry about.

[geoff pay]

Superb player. Will be missed. Bet he joins a London team within 6 months.

[Chris1]

Superb player? We must have been attending different matches!

[seasidesteve]

i really cant see where you get superb from very average at best

[Broadstairs Dave]

I rated him but perhaps he needs to be playing at a higher level so his game can flourish. Good luck Joe

[DomBlueBoy]

one of our better players, in a technical and skill sense, but probably a bit lightweight for this league. Will probably flourish at a higher level in a more passing, skillful and technical game.

 

sad to see him go but not the end of the world as in Jones and Stubbs we have similar players.

 

Good Luck at your next club which I imagine will be sooner rather than later - give it a couple of weeks.

[Guernsey Tom]

I thought that it would be dificult to have Joe and sam Jones in the same side as they are in my opinion similar, but if we can keep Sam then we should be able to get over it.

Good evening gentlemen,

Joe, he is a very tactical player, with the correct coaching he could/maybe will be a class player, he can read the ball and the game very well, needs to play with a team who can play football, not saying by one stretch of the imagination the other lads can not, so please do not get wires crossed there gentlemen, but he does gain us a lot of free kicks, very clever and not being to obvious, very clever.

As one of you above pointed out, free some cash up for a natural goal scorer, I agree, but just hope management don't rush in and get the first thing offered, so he can play one or two games and be gone in a flash.

[Gate4TehWin]

Very Good technical player certainly to a higher quality then the Ryman premier ability wise, but lacked the strength for this level and really shot shy for a Trequartista/Attacking midfielder type player, like some people have all ready said it will free some money up... problem is who do you get in?

as much as i liked Joe as a footballer, 7 goals in 53 appearances for someone who has been playing most the time as a forward is appaling. Reasons like this is why we are in the drop zone. all the best for him in the future!

Maybe he's not managed the goal return that many believe he should have recorded but he's been the most entertaining player skillwise over the past two seasons. I loved to watch his touch and skill when the 1st team were playing, even if we were getting beat he was worth the admission fee. Just hope Sam Jones will be able to do the same because I don't want to join the "result is all that matters section of fans". Yes I like us to win, naturally, but of upmost importance to me is entertainment for my admission fee win or lose.

Nothing wrong with his goal record imo.

 

Looked on target for about 5/6 per season.

 

Thats the same as our previous attacking midfield players achieved in the better (word used cautiously ) ryman days,when the likes of Saunders,mckimm and jackson were gettig about 6 goals a piece.

[Coffin Ender]

Difference then was that we had Hockton and Pinnock who scored about 60 goals between them. Now we have just LB up front and there is a much greater need for midfielders to get into the box and score, otherwise where will the goals come from?

[C.A.A.]

very average at best

 

 

which is still far superior to your 'best'

[seasidesteve]

lol mabe but i never got paid for it
