Of all his impressive aerial challenges and flick ons, how many of them resulted in a useful attack being developed or a chance created?

v Sileby Rangers F.C.of the United Counties League Division One.
Would it be too harsh to suggest, 'found his level'?

Possibly
We dodged a bullet there! In that one friendly against low non-league opponents he scored almost threequarters of his average goals per year! If i were Curle i woldn't pick him now til about Februaryjbc.shrimp wrote:Listened to the interview he gave at Northampton. First thing he seemed to suggest was that he'd 'turned down' another year with us. ! ?

He was brought in as a striker who failed miserably to fulfill that role.
Also he said he wanted to be near his family hence why he decided to leave. Considering that he moved to Leyland to be nearer to the club when he signed i don't accept his reason for leaving especially as he has now signed for Northampton which is still a trek from his former base at Shefield which I assume he has moved back to to be nearer his family.
If he moved to secure a better contract, fair enough but at least be honest about it.
As for the reaction of the fans, as a non striking striker he was given a lot of encouragement initially but he simply failed to deliver.

I can’t help feeling this is nonsense. Oliver’s most prolific spell at York, according to my York supporting friend, was in a front two alongside Jon Parkin in the Conference. He said he never played in a front
three.
This is what the York Press made of Vadaine in the Football League;
Vadaine Oliver
Of initial value to the team under Wilcox when the team’s approach was more direct and he showed a desire to flick on regular aerial balls forward. Once that passion seemingly disappeared, though, he cut a lethargic figure up front. A return of one goal from his last 22 games of the season saw fans boo his second-half introduction on the final day at Morecambe.
Appearances: 36 (6); Goals: 10. Rating:2/10
His record didn’t improve with us and it was fractionally better in Conference North.
If he does well at Northampton it’ll eat my proverbial hat.
