Holman signs for Aldershot. Munns leaves Pools by mutual consent.
Yes, pretty much agree RCS.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Sad for Dan Holman as he was an in-form striker growing in stature and ready to seize his opportunity before being scythed down by injury never to recover. Had he not got injured I genuinely believe he could have been our first one million pound sale after 25 goals in L2.
Munns was never going to make it in the men’s game. He only did well for us because our side was so much stronger than the Conference that we could win most games comfortably with 9 or 10 men so we could carry Munns, protect him, and ensure he always had space to do his usual shimmy and pass. Even then during the nitty gritty of the mid-season winter he didn’t feature much as he couldn’t cope with the pitches and shin-kickers in the poor weather.
Belief vs evidence. Whilst you are of course, perfectly entitled to your belief, the evidence of Holman's track record in L2 with Colchester, then us strongly suggests otherwise. Like Dale Watkins - scored goals for fun outside the EFL, never quite cut it at the higher level.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Sad for Dan Holman as he was an in-form striker growing in stature and ready to seize his opportunity before being scythed down by injury never to recover.

Also has to be said, his loan stints at a lower level didn't add to the belief or evidenceArtemis wrote:Belief vs evidence.

Good luck at Aldershot. I genuinely hope you'll be back amongst the goals again with them.
