I know he is not everyones flavour of the month but I thought he did as well as anyone today and certainly made the goal with a very clever pass :-*Would you give him a comtract for next season?

His interview on Shropshire Radio made me think that he'll be a squad member next year - back-up striker and midfield. Linked up well with Edwards for the goal - according to Gerry and Ant. Worth a contract

Too right I think hed be a damn good player if we gave him the chance I bet he was sh**ting himself coming on after the reception he got the other week! Especially with that pathetic woman behind me critisising him the whole of the match her attitude changed when he set that goal up!

You cannot question the man's effort, he always puts 110% into a game. As he demonstrated today. My concern is his contribution at this level and the effect he has on the game. I think that maybe it is time for Streety to go in the summer clear out...

I agree with Windsor.
I really like Streety but there will be strikers here ahead of him next season plus GP does not see him as a midfielder...he'll be gone.

wasnt there, but he is certanly a player with a clever footballing brain, a decent engine, and good attitude. Also he does cover a host of positions, altho' i dont actualy rate him out wide

he is a man of the church and therefor God will make sure he recieves a new contract or else the world will end.

Worked hard but was mostly very ineffective.
He said in his post match interview he will only win a new contract as a striker. On today's showing he should be released as we can get better.

I reckon he's improving all the time- and really going all out to win his place.
He's certainly not afraid to tackle- and his size is no problem there. He'll go and get stuck in no problem!
He likes midfield, though- and it's strange that G.P sees him as a striker? !!
I think he deserves a chance. He seems to be improving as his confidence grows. I just sense that he motivates others, somehow- and it is good to have someone like that in a team.

I'm a bit concerned about having two forwards up front who aren't prolific. Kelvin Langmead is a specialist in that position, and I thik it is a specialist that is needed there. But it is another string to Street's bow. And having people like him around the club - who show the right attitude can't do any harm.
I think that this showing suggests that he can cover across the midfield, but the central midfield especially, and up front too. If GP is going to get the specialists in that he wants then he will need the players who can provide cover.

He won;t get another contract from us but he might end up in a play off chasing conference side
GP either likes big lads (Langmead) or feisty lads (Ashton) or big feisty lads (Cowan)
Street is just not his type of player

he is a man of the church and therefor God will make sure he recieves a new contract or else the world will end. That he might be- but he would no more expect Divine intervention in getting him a contract, than Delia (a woman of God, actually!) would expect divine intervention in keeping Norwich from getting relegated!! Kevin is a tough little battler and it's afraid of tackling- but he probably tries to be as ethical as he can, I should imagine he's supportive of his team mates. I know, from a few sources that he's got time for supporters. Whatver happens, he'll except it and give the best he can. He's a good example of a "man of God" if you term it that way- a tough, manly little fella, who'll get stuck in and do his best on the field, yet he's also brave enough to "stand up and be counted" for the standards that guide his life. Dave is probably right about the type of player GP likes- but you never know what might happen. Whatever Kevin is -or isn't, he'd be useful!! Could be right- and he could help to take a conference side up. Personally I'd like him to stay. No- not because I share his faith- that would never be enough if he was no good. It's because he plays some clever football - it was noted on the match report. He's alert, reading the game and, as I said, not afraid to tackle.

Time to ruffle a few feathers but given the choice of Street in his favoured position or Tolley, well I don't think it's a contest, Streety wins hands down everytime.

Should stay for me.
We need one or two players that can play in various positions and do a job.
That said I think GP will be letting him go. He prefers the bigger players.

According to Street himself yesterday his only chance of getting a new contract is as a striker.
On that basis he'll be elsewhere next season.
A shame as he's a good midfield player.

Street is a better footballer than conference and i am flabergasted that some of you would not rate him better than Tolley and O`Conner,is this the level of inconsistent performers that the Town want?.Simply shocking.

Whether he's better than Tolley or O'Connor is not relevant, he said himself he will only be retained as a striker, the manager does not see him as a midfield player.

I dont see him as 3rd div striker...... Hes impressed whenever I have seen him play in midfield, but is unlikely to get a game there. Could he not fill in on the right side of midfield, and push Sheron upfront?

Amazing Hooverfax that you seem to be able to turn any thread around to having a swipe at Tolley- exactly what has the guy done for you to be so unsupportive- oh yes, he committed the big sin of enticing Cardiff to make a 500K bid for him (that was all his own fault wasnt it : And so you then expected him to play like Steven Gerrard every week and because he doesnt you will take every opportunity to slag him off. All our recent managers seem to rate him ( I guess that's his fault as well ) but you know better than all of them dont you. It has always amazed me why fans can hate some of our own players so much and particularly with a young player who is locally born and bred and doesnt seem to be a bad lad off the field. Im not sure about keeping Street, I think he has been so professional in working to get back in the team and he has got ability. He had a run of consecutive games in midfield under Quinn but it didnt last long and the fans were soon on his back. But I think he may have just done enough to earn a place in the squad. Feathers well and trully ruffled!

but you've got to admit that he's been pretty crud most of the time over the last 4 years. And when he hasn't been crud he's still lack that end product, you know the thing Sam gets hammered about, however a player like Tolley needs an end product, he always struck me as the sort of midfielder, who like Cahill liked to get beyond the front two, liked to break from midfield. And whilst this is still true to a certain extent, he has a chronic inability when it comes to scoring, or getting that final pass just right. The best two examples I can think of are in the play-off final game. One is admittedlly a great tackle, but one the defender has no right to pull off, and the other is an average shot (possibly on his wrong foot) at the keeper in the last minute, both I'll have you know it were set up by Rodgers What good is an attacking midfield who can't attack, who plays more stinkers than blinders and does have a bad gear, just an annoymous gear? So what we rejected £500K for him, Sam used to play for England........schoolboys

Forgetting opinions and looking at the facts, remembering it was you that brought up Aiston not me. Aiston has always been employed as an attacking wide player and sometimes as a striker and has netted 7 times in 5 years. Tolley has usually been in center midfield, sometimes in an attacking role, sometimes more defensive (eg under Quinn ). He has scored 15 goals in 5 years, not enough granted but dont tell me he has no end product

Post by rob on Apr 25, 2005 9:16:26 GMT 1
lol, but Aiston brings other traits to the side which indirectly and directly benefit the team. There is the direct nature of his play, wide outlet and pace, but there are also other statistics that paint him in a slightly different nature. Last season he was one of the most fouled players in the conference, and if we didnt beneift from all those free kicks (mostly in very advanced positions, well i am flabbergasted. Incidently where did we get the Sam stats from??? My point is that Tolley appears to have gone backwards and been going consistantly backwards for the last few years. At least Sam has improved since he moved here (which isnt hard as the only thing he could do was dribble and run in a straight line :

How do you think he played at the start of our Conference campaign before he got injured? How did he play this season after GP came in as manager? Is his stamina any better this season than it was last? Does he get stuck in any more this season than he did last?. Answer these questions and then try and tell me he is "consistently getting worse "
