Gelhardt

Must be frustrating for the lad. His Mum was fuming against Derby. 6 of family come down from Wales and wasnt even on bench. Hope he gets at least 30 mins as eventually he will just leave.

If he can’t get on today then he’s going to permanently bench warm. Not overawed 1st half hour but no recognised striker yet again……..and it shows.

Two nil harsh but the omission of Gelhardt in this game is baffling.

Me too and Garner…..being that Windass looks like he’ll start most league games at mo then maybe he should have been benched…….as for Geldhardt……mind boggling. Unless his new manager doesn’t want him cup tied !

There’s certainly the odd one or two who think he is the answer to every question ever asked (someone referred to him as our best player on twitter) without actually seeing him play much, but I think most of us just want to see what he can do. He is the future of the club one way or the other that’s for sure even if it’s just financially.

I hope he can step up and be a Leighton Baines type player for us the same with Lang, Weir, Jolley,Mafeo etc but I have seen plenty of “stars” in the rugby academy sides who either never even got close to the first team (or super league) or played 1 game and were quickly moved on. Different kettle of fish with the physicalities etc, but what I’m getting at is it’s one thing him doing it at U18 level and another him doing it in the 2nd tier. There have been plenty before him as well with England youth sides being successful and then players vanishing off the face of the earth or to League One.

In reference to Robert’s leaping up the pecking order, Pilkington and Fox came to us with very poor injury records and both are showing why we managed to sign both.
As for Geldhart?, Saturdays Cup game was the perfect opportunity to let the lad run out from the start.
No one’s saying start him every game or first on the team sheet but with the Bristol game been more important then why risk say Windass when were so short handed ??.

He could have had an hour and if we went out nothing lost. Cook felt it was ok to play Pearce and Dowell so the emission of Geldhart from the starting line up was even stranger. I can only think he’s to be sold so the cotton wool gets thicker and thicker.

So the big question is, just how good is he or how good will he be ?, we just don’t know and tbh I dont think we ever will. He’ll be sold before anyone finds out if he is he’s the real deal or it’s all over blown hype to raise his profile and more importantly his price.
Fair play to the lad for signing a new deal. He could have easily seen it out and signed a lucrative deal on good wages elsewhere. At least we’ll get a pay day when he does move on unlike what the Chippy Mon did letting Powell run his contract out and leave on a free.

The first thing he did Saturday was shoot just over the bar.
Something our lot fail to do, which is to take it on. You clearly don’t like Geldhart and if he scored a 4 timer in the last 10mins of the last game of the season to keep us up you’d still pull your face and moan.
The lad has clearly got talent but the point is we’ll never know which makes you sadly even more happy.
Dont tell me, your a fan of Moore
