As someone else said he COULD be our next Andy Ramell, probably the best striker we have signed since Ricky L, although the snake was good he was playing most of his football out wide for Forest Green so wasn't an out and out striker before he came here and anyway JCH has scored more goals in the Championship than the snake in half the time. Obviously love the fact we have a striker who is looking like he will find the back of net on a consistent basis but lets hold off a bit before we impose the "best striker since Lambert" tag on him. Needs to prove himself at the football club before he can even be compared with Hoskins, Taylor, Harrison ect. I must admit I did forget Hoskins who did have one good season with Us, but any of our players that don't slither off to join the S**t will be better than the snake.

I think some on this thread may not have been old enough to remember Peter Beadle but Jonson is much more like him than Rammell.
Like Beadle he’s left footed and Peter like Jonson could also move with the ball and take it forward. For me Rammell was more like a static Devon White, a battering ram, not much pace and ok with the ball.
Beadle took free kicks outside the box and had a hammer left foot, again very much like Jonson.
Beadle’s second at Ashton Gafe in the 2-0 win is the sort of goal JCH would score

Think we are missing Payne!!!!!!!! Let's be honest, he's demonstrates the exact same qualities that most of us expected from Payne, only he clearly has a better attitude and work ethic. Its also great to see nicho getting some approval for doing the same thing he's been doing all year but with someone along side him that will take advantage of it. I like Jakubiak, but he is on loan, nicho and JCH must be the main two in the run in for me to build for next season (in this division)

I remember being part of the meltdown club when he turned out to be our last minute signing. Boy I’ve learned my lesson. Still early days thouhh Never judge a player when he signs. Judge him when you’ve seen him play a few times. Matty who ? Stuart Sinclair ? Who ? Bodin ? Injury prone ? Northampton don’t want him ? Lumley another kid on loan , stupid name .... Etc etc. Absolutely right and conversely sometimes when a signing seems like a no-risk, they can turn out to be awful. Riordan, Gillespie and Kenneth spring to mind. Some players just work at some clubs but not others. Hopefully JCH will finally find his true potential at the Gas.

He reminds me of Ellis early days. Nichols is a quality footballer with a great touch and vision and Harris is a beast with a powerful shot and great determination.

Still early days thouhh Absolutely, but it says it all about the crap that was assembled before he got here that his 'early days' is still better than everyone else's entire season. Probably something of an accident too- given his goal record you would think he was bought to play the target man role and not to score the goals to keep us up.

Sorry bro, I never read properly I was at Oxford when Rammell scored that day and I hope it doesn’t got to the wire like that!!

When does his contract run out, assume it was longer 6 months to see how things went it? Looks a revelation and still so young. Should be looking to extend further, especially if we stay up.

Coventry boss’s comments about the deal ‘setting him up for life’, though surely an exaggeration, suggests it’s at least a 2 1/2 year deal.

JCH is an out and out CF, apart from Harrison we haven't had a decent one of those since Lambert left. As things stand then given the choice I'd say JCH on present form wold be more likely to score the goals to keep us up than the Harrison who left us in the summer.
Nichols is still a worry for me as surely a striker needs to do more inside the box, if he could just add goals to his game then we'd have an hell of a strike force next season.

The snake only goal scorer in that short list. Hoskins was as goalscorer for us was ok.Didnt he score 17 - 20 goals in his one season with us? Harrison was a 10 goal a season player but his overall play helped us alot during these past 5 seasons and his personality in the dressing room.Id guess that if Ellis didnt leave in the summer that we would have another 5-10 points right now and be nearly safe. Clarkes impact here so far is that of Rambos, as someone said his style of play reminds me of beadle.Seems like a top guy and is what we have been missing for years.

JCH has been a great addition and someone I’ve seen plenty of in the past at Oldham, Rotherham and Coventry to know he’s an excellent footballer.
I was pleased when we signed him as I knew what we were getting, what his potential could be and that we haven’t had his type of player at the club in a long time. And before anyone says Stefan Payne, Stefan Payne cannot be compares to a footballer.
JCH has similar qualities to Jason Roberts without the high sprint speed and burst pace, however he isn’t slow. Big and strong, can win balls in the air and has a good and powerful finish on him and can create a goal for himself without it being put on a plate.
I hope he can kick on with us, he’s had a great start and seems to be enjoying his football.

Yeah I have to admit that when we signed him, because of the circumstances, I viewed it as a last minute bottom of the barrel signing. But jeez, he's proving me wrong so far. Well done JCH and well done Widders and GC. More than happy to eat humble pie on this one so far. Hope he can really kick on.
