I agree that there are "hidden gems" in non league football, my guess is these guys who eventually make good have not previously had an opportunity to impress at an EFL club.
In Montel Gibson's case he has had two such opportunities, Notts County and Grimsby Town and at both he failed. Add to that a seemingly bad attitude, the previously posted Grimsby newspaper link demonstrates that adequately and the way he refused to play for Stourbridge in an important fixture makes my mind up for me.
Not worth the risk Nigel, keep Tyrese.
Ollie Palmer was crap for us in the league, but still managed to do well elsewhere and is now a L1 player.
Also Tyrese isn't a striker and hasn't done much when he's been given an opportunity.
I also take it no one here has ever taken a 'sick day' to go to a job interview for a better opportunity then?
