Took them into League Two, few years on into League One. Midtable there before joining us. After leaving us had a couple of unsuccessful stints in Midlands. Went back to Yeovil January 2012. Kept them up from a bad position, then the next year unbelievably took them into the Championship. For one crazy season they were the top ranked side in this region!

It was so great to see him so chipper. GJ has transformed the team and I agree he looks really well - I’ve been to Plainmoor quite a few tines this year and will be there on Monday for the party - hopefully then another at Ashton Gate in May! With regards to the comments about our loanees - Connor has done the best (imho) with Saikou a close second. What GJ has done is to get players like Jamie Reid playing significantly better than in previous years as he has had better players to play with throughout the season. Frustratingly for Opi Edwards he’s been injured for most of the second half of the season although before Xmas looked really sharp. Im sure we will be doing similar deals with TUFC next season with some other young players needing experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at Wealdstone back in October and you could tell that Connor was a natural footballer, excellent technique. I suspect all 4 will be back there next season, assuming GJ wants them.

Saikou is a bit of a beast and has come one hell of a long way in just 2 years. 2017 he was playing for Nic Wanderers under 18’s ! Incredible progress !
