Shame we never got to see Bradley in full flight.
The injury he suffered away to Torquay last season was a cruel one and a long one to get over.
I believe he’ll come again and he was a great squad member.
Always smiling.

I'd put him in the yet to prove himself at National Premier level category along with Adam Coombes.
Both players were exceptional in National South.

To be fair to both BHO & AC - you need games to prove yourself at any level of football. And in games I mean a proper 10 match spell to show your worth. Whenever a player comes into a side he needs time to bed in (A Sánchez proving that @mu). When you are coming of the bench for the final 15 to 30 minutes it takes a different kind of mentality. |

Nice lad but he wasn't good enough to start for us and I never felt he made an impact off the bench so I'm happy to see him get first team football elsewhere.
He gave his all and played his part in our cup success. I hope he goes onto have great times.

Unsurprising. Seems the management were never quite convinced as was always fighting for minutes even after going out on loan and getting match fit. He could have been given a start to freshen things up out wide in any of the last 3 games but wasn’t. All the noises from Dos have been positive regarding his attitude and fitting in to the squad so good luck to him. He was always decent in his interviews too and very positive. Am sure he’ll do well at Hampton and they are set for an interesting end to the season.

I agree with Dave The Grave, players at the top flight expect to play well no matter what, a more relevant example would be Bolarinwa when we signed him in 2015, took a good few months to get going but once we was got going he was unstoppable, unfortunately for BHO, it never happened to him

He was just as good down the win almost right from the off. His big problem was he couldn't cross the ball well at all. Once he finally clicked on that (with I expect decent training from the coaching staff) he suddenly became a player higher teams were interested in. Max Biamou is much more of a good example of this. His 2nd half of the season was miles better than his first for us, and seems like the same at Coventry. Doesn't matter how much someone gets paid, players are human and some will take time to adjust to their new surroundings, especially if they are young or come from overseas. Even us mere mortals take time to adjust to any new job, even if we are great at what we do and being paid "big bucks". Sometimes, the big bucks comes with a level of responsibility some players can't handle (look at someone like Balotelli for a perfect example of that). If people think that money guarantees performance, then look no further than Glenn Tamplin.... |
