TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Veron's still playing afaik. Vernon Crespo's doing the necessary at the moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBiscuit Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Lets be avin you, Vernon is actually Argentinian for Stavrum , keep it up big man, who the fxck is Lee Miller Would actually say Vernon is the superior goalscorer, Stavrum - without wishing to sound ungrateful - scored a fair few pens for us, Vernon's have all been from open play which is more impressive in my opinion.

RDU_64 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 What we've been crying out for years, a goalscorer who kens where to be at the right time. Very useful player. Thats him 1 goal away fae Miller's best tally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubo72 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Wasn't convinced at first, but if he's scoring, he's obviously good enough! Get in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick sheep Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 for years we were good up until the final third, now vernon gives us the finisher we were missing. Important we either keep maguire and aluko or replace them properly, as it's their build up that vernon benefits from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 On track to be our first twenty goal a season striker for many a long year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 On track to be our first twenty goal a season striker for many a long year Would never have guessed at the start of the season when I saw him. To be fair to him he's got the knack of being in the right place at the right time and that's all you can ask for really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that every natural poacher just seems to manage to be in the right place at the right time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just watched his goals on RedTV. Excellent work by Maguire out wide and playing in two identical perfect crosses. Vernon would have had had two shockers to not score them - but thats because he was in the right position to score both times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Street Loon Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Great to finally have a striker who knows how to be in the right place at the right time. Keep it up big Vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Most high goal scorers also take the penalties, he could have been sitting on a mega tally (not Luciano) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Rated him from the start and thinks hes a good player but had a fucking stinker today. Owes his two goals to two great crosses from anelka, if bebo would recognise his best position is out wide and doing a job for the team then he would be a lot better off.

RDU_64 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I thought he was ok today. Was in the right place at the right time for the goals and that suits me down to the ground. Worked his socks off as usual and was rewarded for his effort and endeavour. Also credit where credit is due after losing half a stone through the week. I think cutting him a bit of slack would be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_bollocks Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 By the sounds of it he plays the competent Dazzler role, in that he can actually find the net... It doesn't matter where they come from so long as they go in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfromsleep Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 How many in all competitions does Big Vern have now? 14 or 15? Ive long since taken back my first impression from the Brechin pre season game where he looked a complete donkey. Great to have a 'right place, right time' striker again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have a 'right place, right time' striker again I think he has 13 in the league inc the Bamba own goal that has now been credited to vernon. 2 against east fife. 2 against raith. 17 isn't exactly bad.
