Has left Lewes, what chance?

Agree one of the missing links

left lewes by mutual consent! always think that means sacked maybe he aint got it anymore ans lewes forum suggest that he was disappointing. i dont think he deserves to come back after what he did in tonbridge game where he shouted at the main stand after scoring and was good when he then got accident elbow in his face!,if he has left lewes cos of work then how commited will he be to Hastings which might cause unrest with other player. also i know ChrisB wont agree but think it unfair on Kenny who has done ok this year and i would like to see Kenny and Rodrigo for a bit because they are two totally different players that could make good partnership hope rimsay no chance is right

Personally I can't see it happening for one minute as I have never seen a certain DW more incandescent with rage than he was that night against Tonbridge...can't say I was too chuffed with Ade's explanation for his action in that he claimed he was racially abused. I don't believe that for one minute and I feel he just compounded the crime with his explanation.
Having said all that, I would love to see him back leading the line with KP an option at 70 minutes. Clearly there will have to be a rapid change of attitude from the key players in this and maybe some genuine apologies. Let's hope this can happen because I am sure he is the best we could get at this stage of the season.

I'd sign him up in an instant, a strikeforce of Olorunda, Pogue, Branco and Adams would very probably be good enough to get us up.

He scored a lot at this level last season Chris but is prone to injury from time to time. I think he could be a great aquasition if and its a big if he comes back.

What position was the french guy playing? Hopefully a LB!

So I see the Observer claims that Ade coming to Hastings is now very unlikely. What a disappointment that is. So we are now relying on a 19 year old from Crawley, an injured Brazillian who has not yet delivered the promise we had hoped and Kenny Pogue, who despite dollops of huge bum licking from certain fans lately, still needs to deliver and improve on his 5 goals in 14 league games. You only have to look at the top 4 goalscorers in the league to see what we need. 1. Ross Allen Guernsey 14  2. Charlie Walker Peacehaven 13  3. Jamie Brotherton Peacehaven 11 4. Tom Bradbrook Leatherhead 10. Just hope we don't live to regret it.

 

Can only hope that McCreadie fufills the potential that alot of people belive he has, Would love to have Ade in as well though to help him, Rodrigo and Kenny out

Can see him joining Eastbourne United yep, not rye though.

Think this depends on how well both these clubs progress in the fa vase....both will fancy there chances of progressing and this will bring prize money to purchase the goal scoring services of ade....shame it didnt go ahead at the pilot field for him though.

Steve. If you read dans post and remove the comma - it reads "help him Rodrigo and Kenny out". Dan's only guilty of crap punctuation lol

Errrrm, nothing wrong with my punctuation? 100% Grammatically correct?! Lol

'Help him. Rodrigo and Kenny out' would have been the incorrect grammar pat! Lol

 Exactly what I said mate 

If you read your post Dan - you said it was incorrect lol. Loved the video

A Commar is correct mate, a full stop isn't :) not sure what post your reading! Lol :)

I am! Lol the comma SHOULD be there! :)

welcome to the dopey side Dan ... Glad to have you onboard :)

What an absolute joke! As they were in talks I would love to hear why we haven't signed him. Was it Ade or John's decision? Think this might come back to bite Maggsy in the backside if we don't win the league now. Despite all the positives from McCreadie, we must of missed 6 or 7 easy chances yesterday and we just cannot afford our current conversion rates against the better sides.

"I refer the honourable gentlemen to my previous answer."
This, I guess, is all about the outstanding issues between DW and AO and nothing to with JM at all.

 Unless we get a club statement we'll probably never know,,,,If the club and player really wanted a deal it would probably have been made a while ago ,,,if there are outstanding issues then its probably best to let it be and move on .  

On the other hand the non-signing of Ade maybe down to fitness issues and the fact that Ade may not be the player he was a few seasons ago.

This is a massive blow although dare i say " i told u so" .....think mcreadie will be good but is a raw and untested talent ...ade would have given the extra dimension of experience so badly needed at the moment....as well as a proven goal scorer.....so how long will it be before we hear that sean ray has signed for rye or eastbourne utd....cant see him being prepared to go all the way up to kingstonian to sit on the bench for much longer..guess we can speculate till the cows come home why ade declined to return to the mighty Us.

I'm not being funny, but surely times can move on regarding AO? I respect that he left with a bang and he's one of he best strikers I've seen here, and I've been coming nearly eight years. I totally agree with what Johnw has said. I don't know if anyone remembers, but there was a video interview for the Observer with Ade which was done at William Parker in which he said that he'd "like to come back to the club because he loved playing for us, but 'if only things could change'". I'm sure there's more that's gone on that meets the eye, but surely now this should've been sorted out. All the time there is all this speculation and pussy-footing around with what can happen and what can't, it's wasting valuable time and getting false hope.

Ade will provide a wealth of experience for the KP and Trevor, and when in form, is prolific, as we all know. He too is probably approaching the end of his career and correct me if I'm wrong, both Olorunda's have always played for the same club and pretty much the same time? I'd just love to see things have a line drawn under and move on.

Well with no Ade do we still think we need one more striker to be certain of scoring the goals or do we think that the current three of McCreadie, Pogue and Branco are sufficent? ( plus arguably Sam Adams is considered a striker by John Maggs as well )

Do we need one more or was Ade a special case?

Lewes fans seem to think that Josh Jirbandey will be joining them for the Christmas period...

One of those players that you would always want in the squad but thankfully CB is probably our strongest position so not as bad as losing out on Ade.

 JJ put something on twitter about playing while he's back home but in all honesty unless you're struggling due to injuries you wouldn't want to disrupt your defence would you for a player who can only play a few games? 

I keep harping on about it, but feel we have been very fortunate with injuries this season. If something were to happen to 36 year old Ben Judge, and Hare has returned to Gillingham from his months loan, we suddenly look very vulnerable at the back. As for strikers, I'm guessing they will stick with what they have. That will only change if Branco does not come up to speed pretty quickly. A few murmurs in the crowd on Saturday about his attitude and how injured he really is. Just murmurs of course, but more often than not a little bit of truth behind them.

As a '' outsider '' i find it strange that we still keep on talking about a player (Ade )who is not coming to our club ( although i can imagine that there is a bond between him and the club ) but there is not so much to read about the homecoming Vickers and Mc Creadie who both seems had excellent games !
Maybe we need to give those guys more credits !
