That was funny,   Nigel Clough post match saying he shouldn't have played Hewitt today as he didnt tackle his mate Vernam all day.

Trouble is Nigel, you played him at full back..try him at centre half..🤣

His best mate*

They must have struck up one hell of a friendship in their 12 months together.

Kellan Gordon who he said should of played instead of Hewitt played for Derby County youth team 2014 to 2017 and signed pro terms 2017 to 2019.

Charles Vernam played for Derby youth team 2013 to 2015 and pro terms 2015 to 2018.

So they could have known  each other 4 years longer then Hewitt and Vernam.

What Clough has to realize is Hewitt played excellent for us last season has played for 2 teams that have been relegated out of League 2.

If I was Cloughie I’d have a word with the idiot that signed him, picked him and then played him at full back. And kept him on all game despite not being happy with his performance.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Hewitt is a terrible fullback & an even worse midfielder , he had his best spell for us at centre half that's where clough should play him or shut his mouth up

Hewitt and Rollin were a great pairing for us.  It was bizarre that Hewitt was signed and then they sent Rollin out on loan.

I’d be fuming if I was Elliott. It’s one thing for a manager to say he didn’t have a good game, fair comment, an honest assessment. But for him to mention possible friendships and insinuate that he’s let Vernam have a goal basically is an insult to a professional. I’d be banging on his door Monday morning seeking an explanation. It’s interesting too that Clough speaks of relationships in football, I mean it’s not like he’s made a career out of having one of British footballs most successful and popular managers as a father or anything is it?


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

So you signed a player who was class for us at centre back but woeful at right-back.

You then played him at right back, who’s fault is that?

This. Made no sense at all. I think Hewitt will be moving on before long.
