You are quite right, that twitter account does work, that's how Garner got in touch with Wael and arranged to meet him in London. The other two on the selection panel did not fancy such an appointment. The trouble with Wael is he is gullible and lives in his own bubble. Garner has never managed any club in his life at any level and has not worked in the game since leaving India last May helping out Steve Coppell. He must have thought he had won the lottery the day he had a coffee in London with our leader. Read Starnes programme notes from Boxing day, it's clear he didn't have a clue about the appointment so soon. Starnes said he was the outstanding candidate they interviewed. So what you are saying is complete nonsense. Why make this up?

Back to the original topic. I would be surprised to see JCH play again at the Mem. His farewell was made on Boxing Day to the crowd. Just a feeling.

We’ve been on about selling JCH from the moment he hit the ground running talking him out the place in last Januarys window, in fact I commented on a thread at the time, whilst we play at the Mem, and continue to look for a ‘Lansdown’ type, and getting a stadium that we can be proud of, we will always be a selling club. Example: T Nichols, striker who can’t score, nearly three years with no one fretting about him leaving. JCH, striker who can score goals, “how much should we get for him? And who’s he going to?” Within weeks of his arrival. If he stays, great, if he goes, ah ho we’ll survive. Until we get the owner and facilities above mentioned it doesn’t really matter, when I started supporting the gas 40 odd years ago, City were in the championship or Div 2, and the Gas in the top 6 of League1 or Div 3, nothing’s changed but now it’s only real money that gets a team near the top, or at the top.

If a championship club is going to shell out a few million for an attacker in January, they will want someone who will come in and make an instant impact. JCH hasn't had a bad season but for the last month and a half he's been plagued with injuries and hasn't been at his best. I think this along with the fact he's played in the championship before and not had a good record will deter clubs from swooping in, scouts certainly won't be impressed by what they saw last Saturday that's for sure. Can't see us selling to someone like Sunderland or Portsmouth either with the position we are in the league. Just a gut feeling but I think we'll keep him in January and he will end up with 15-20 goals and will be sold in the summer for a bit. Remember that Tom Eaves and John Marquis had a better goalscoring record this time last year and neither went in January. Clubs interested will know from their own medical advisors whether the injuries JCH has been suffering from are something to worry about, or just minor tweaks/strains proper training facilities will stop. Look how Lambert changed once he signed for Southampton. A fully fit JCH is too good for L1.

But post like rumours are facts again lol.

He looked so frustrated when he played yesterday, not sure if that's because of the lack of service he received or if he has other things like a January move playing on his mind. Definitely not yet 100 percent fit yet.

If not then why are Liverpool etc spending £50m+ on state of the art training facilities?

Don't like to see the sort of petulant attitude JCH has shown the last few games and don't believe Rovers fans would want to see it long term, you may get away with it when you are banging in goals every week but any fans or scouts watching recently will not have been to impressed with his contribution either to the 'team' ethics which GC fostered or his over all performances ,the good will generated by 'those' special goals will not last for ever and in my very humble opinion JCH is not doing enough to warrant a big money transfer. He was a fairly anominous player before he came to us, had a purple patch in first few games and fitness or not ,has been 'ordinary' since, this may not be a popular view but its the way I see it at the moment. If he is not fully match fit then he should not be selected and should be given time to recuperate fully so he can come back firing on all cylinders to the delight of all of us, we have had good results without him and with the current team spirit can do so again, up the Rovers ,now I am off to hide behind the settee!!!

Our best outfield player by far.
Always grumpy. Think he feels it gets him going. I think this is arguably his first lull. This might have come at the perfect time.

What rumours, it's a fact of life in football that l the higher you go the better the training facilities will be, anyway it seems the BP reporter agrees with my own views: "The one thing which could prevent JCH leaving in this window is his injury record. Obviously he has missed a lot of games this season, and I think some teams will see it as a big gamble paying big money for an injury prone player in January. I think they’d prefer to bring him in early doors in the summer and give him a full pre-season with their own medical team to support him." Incidentally where's the link to say JCH's calf injury was after a long run as the BP etc just said it was picked up in training?

I don't think he's been the same player since he returned from his "calf" injury, whilst he's scored goals from memory one was a tap in at Bromley and the others were two pens.

By lamberts own admission that’s because he started eating right and drinking less, he was still not taking it all that serious when he was here and first went to saints until Pardew pulled him in and made him take his top off and called him a disgrace. There’s of course no doubt we need better facilities but to blame Johnson’s (who was injured when we signed him and missed a season at Rotherham) solely on them is ridiculous.

I suspect JCH has rarely been fully fit during his time with us. it is very possible that his increasing displays of irritation are a result of the fact that he won't be here much longer. It's almost as if he is serving his notice period with us. Very soon he will be playing for a bigger club and earning more money. Good luck to him. He's been good for us and Rovers have been for him.

It is easy to forget he did not have a pre season at all. Not one single minute in a game situation. Something is definitely a miss in regard to a niggling injury.

He probably needs a decent recovery period (i.e. a holiday and then being gently edged back into action) but obviously we need him etc. so no chance. Wouldn't be surprised to see Championship clubs wait until the summer to pick him up.

I hope he stays, regains fitness and becomes our talisman again.
Personally I think there are better Strikers in L1 ahead of him … Eisa / Toney / Ched Evans / Madden maybe / Fosu + Henry even though they are favoured as wingers / Marquis / Godden ….What will make him attractive is that we will give him away cheap as we are desperate for money whilst other clubs will haggle for the best deal and if they don't sell they don't sell.
I heard yesterday we are very keen on another Coventry striker Jordy Hiwula - Mayifuila … contract is up in the summer.
