Rob Haworth

[Malcolm S]

That was Rob Haworths last game for us ? it is the end of

his one month loan. Lets hope Andy can either get his loan

extended or we buy him. We need him upfront.

[Gordon T]

hopefully we will see him back again, his big presence is definately neede up front and also he was getting better with each time he played

[Drummer Boy]

Personally he hasn't really impressed me! I think we should still look for a better target man!

[John@TheFleet]

Such as.....? with gates of 720ish we'll be letting more go than getting in.

 

"Excuse me, Mr 30 goals plus per season Conference player, would you like to play for Gravesend??"

 

"Sure, how much?"

 

"About 30 quid a week."

 

"See ya."

Haworth is never going to be a huge goalscorer, me thinks (but what do I know??). He just seems to be a yard short of pace, but he is certainly prepared to put himself about and his work rate is excellent. He would be a great foil for a regular goalscorer.

 

He has taken a few games to find his feet, but has certainly improved, probably partly due to the general team improvement over the last couple of games.

 

If we sign him, though, would we then be able to bring in a goalscorer beside him, if the opportunity arises?

[John@TheFleet]

Think back to the Liam days.... He didn't actually score that many but how many did he make and how knackered were the opposing centre-halves after they'd been 'Hatched'? Haworth's got the same potential and seems a bit stronger with it.

Howarth seems to me to be a 125% player who will always do an adequate job but unfortunately no more but is better than Abbey by miles. I would like to see Evans at least given a chance

[Richard C]

Agree to an extenet but i beleive he will do very well for us! We are a team that likes to play physical stuff and thats what hes going to do... get in there and get involved, if he can keep winning everything and holding off the defenders to bring others into play we'll be fine.

[JimGNFC]

I agree with John's earlier point. There seems little chance of us recruiting a top quality striker, while crowds remain as they are.

 

Even if the Liam Hatch money is in the transfer kitty why should the Club take a risk and pay top dollar money for a player?

 

Like many others, I'm not convinced Rob Haworth will score bags of goals but a) he wins most aerial challanges and gives 110% is linking well with Pinnock and c) with the service from the wing (Walshe in particular) he will get goals - its just a question of how many!

 

In this context Haworth represents value for money whereas some

ex-league striker, with an over-inflated ego and wallet and who probably kicks like a donkey doesn't.

 

That said I'm not convinced Haworth is a long-term solution to the

goal-scoring problems but if the Club can extend his loan-period it gives him a better chance to show everyone what he can do.

[Slartibartfast]

So does anyone know if Rob's loan is extended, is he signing for us or is he going back to Hendon?

[Alan W (GNFC)]

He came on loan 22 Aug according to news page, so he is still around for Saturday against Exeter, as far as I can tell.

[David Holden]

Answers on the news page.

[Richard C]

Excellent News! Really think he is a fleet player through and through. Great foil for pinnock and abbey when his chance comes. Good move by Andy to pick him up. Should ease our worries a little bit, if as said before pinnock can grab a few goals now.

[Alan W (GNFC)]

No link with your .tk bit, Dave? You're slipping!!

There, I've done it for you !!

[Paul Butler(HendonFC)]

Sad to see Robbie go. Never was a huge scorer with us but provided the height up front which we lack again now that he's gone. Was not getting first team football because we have three strikers, one of whom is prolific and always worked well with the other two and not Rob. It shows how much Hendon have come forward since you got promoted from the Ryman to have our out of favour players signing for Conference clubs.

 

(by the way you spelt his name wrong on your news page Howarth instead of the proper spelling Haworth) [color:"green"] [/color]

Maybe get a new drummer as well? What happened on sat. in the first half? Did you forget your drum stick? Or do you only bang when we are winning?
