It may give Tommy a new lease of life having a change with a different set up.
A month on loan suits all parties and if it works out he might like what he sees and come up with the goods on the field and stay a bit longer, if not nothing lost for either clubs or player.
I know I will be looking forward to seeing him in a fax shirt and giving him some support, as will others, he will be well received at Fax.

Most of the Fev fans moaning about tommy leaving are the ones who have probably never played a game in there lives, and dont want him to leave because he talks to them in the clubhouse. My opinion is Tommy is a great bloke well liked but his best days at Fev are behind him and he wouldnt of got many games in this year. But i do think a change of coach / scenery / team mates might just give him his spark back and i really hope it does. I like the bloke amount of times iv been driving the minibus and got in the ground early watching them warm up while the lads get smashed in the pub and every time Tommy came over to have 5 mins. He never made much sense lol but i hope it works out for him

What did he say to make you say that?

He was probably after a lift home in your minibus Suggy LOL

"can always do a job lower down this league"....condensing t**t.

condescending - LOL (but correct!!)

Not really. I finished off that post by saying i was surprised Halifax were interested, meaning I thought you would be looking for better than Tommy. by lower league I meant lower than Fax

A few have said that maybe a new club and coach will do him good, maybe it will. But it wont do anything for the yard or 2 of pace he has lost and his loss of ability to fend of defenders, which he was fantastic at.

never meant to be condescending and certainly not "condensing"

Fair enough. Summat to do with ale in Briggus 'spoons!

Understand what you were saying unfortunately some don't but hey, that might be their problem.

Castle Hotel, Conwy, Welsh scrumpy, 7.8%
Mmmmm.
Back for the game tomorrow.

Not if you have too much of that you won't..enjoy

Do doubt he'll score a fecking hatrick tomorrow and make yards allover the pitch

07.48 up bright eyes and bushy tailed.

Did Karl not fancy running Jarrod Ward rather than bringing in Tommy, after describing him as "big, strong & aggressive, reminds me of Michael Hancock" or something similar pre-season ? And trialling him in the friendlies.


Just a thought that's all.

Crossed my mind as well, I think Jarrod is still onboard, did he not recently choose not to go to Swinton and stay and take his chances at Fax.

I think it fits in with KH saying there's no time to mess around so has gone for proven experience with Tommy for the month which will give him some cover and time to look at Jarrod and with Rob recovering quicker than first thought maybe plays a part.

WELSH Scrumpy? That's a new 'un!icon_biggrin.gif
