Paul Hayes.

Lets hope he comes back with some confidence & match fitness
 

Paul Hayes.

................good luck to him..............
 

Paul Hayes.

hope he can prove himself there, i would have kept him with us for the remainder of the season and given him game time recently.
 

Paul Hayes.

That's the second time in two seasons we've let our star striker go on loan to Crawley to scupper our promotion dream.
Good luck to him, he's always struck me as a decent fella.
 

Paul Hayes.

Well well well,that was unexpected. Could be the best thing all round as the guy needs game time. Watch him score loads of goals for Crawley now.When you think how much time Uwe spent on getting him to sign for the Bees,gives him a 3yr contract was it? I'm puzzled. Good luck to you Mr Hayes,prove Uwe was wrong to let you go even for a month.
 

Paul Hayes.

Nice if he could help us and score against promotion rivals like Yeovil.
 

Paul Hayes.

I know he hasn't exactly been firing on all cylinders but seems a bit like two steps forward, one step back as I believe Uwe said his ideal number of strikers was four before we signed BWP. Now we are back to three again

3 strikers? Maybe Farid is nearer to match fitness than what we think.With him returning we are back to 4 strikers.
 

Paul Hayes.

No big surprise. Was never able to consistently produce where it mattered, still he is on a 3 year deal so he may be back yet to play a part.
 

Paul Hayes.

his wages may be too high for crawley in the long term unless he finds the net with alacrity. i suspect they may be only paying only part of his salary - anyone in the know know?

as an aside, the more we want to sign someone on this board, the more disappointing they often are.

on the other side of the coin, players who arrive unannounced are often our best signings.
 

Paul Hayes.

At least he isn't on a long contract.
 

Paul Hayes.

Feel slightly uneasy about this. If our strikers were banging in goals, fair enough but as a side, we seemed to have stopped scoring so reducing our options up front is a little worrying.

Perhaps there is a Farid shaped surprise coming soon !

You are trying to look for logic where there is none. Have you learnt nothing from this season!:)

A good move, hopefully he can get game time, if he comes good we can have him back for the last few matches of the season. This has to be better for him and us then having him sitting on the subs bench every match.

Agree with you Les, the only thing I would say is that possibly Uwe made his mind up about Hayes some time ago and it was a done deal once BWP arrived. All I know is that the last time I saw Hayes play against Stevanage at home he missed 2 big chances, maybe that was the last straw, and based on that form is not going to provide too many other options.
 

Paul Hayes.

Good luck paul, hope you find a rich vein of form and score winning goals against those in the play off slots but still can't force your way back into an equally successful Bees side. Only heard positive feedback and seems a decent, well like footballer so wish him every luck. If we get up, guess we'll cut our losses and lose a few bob on him but if he rediscovers his form he'll be in demand from a league 1 side no doubt.

I find it odd that we have not even tried the Hayes BWP combination especially when you read the comments from Charlton fans about how to get the best out of Wright Phillips.
 

Paul Hayes.

He gets to have another crack at Yeovil on his debut. I wonder if he'll take a penalty....

In a nutshell
 

Paul Hayes.

I don't see what the shock is, a no brainier to me. The player needs to play to get his confidence up, and I can't see him getting much gametime in the next month or so ahead Donaldson, BWP and Trotta in the squad, and Farid soon to be providing a fourth option up top. If he plays well for Crawley, he has the possiblity to prove himself to be part of our squad at the very end of the season/ in the play offs.

Good for the player, good for BFC, good move all round.
 

Paul Hayes.

Crawley next two games are against Yeovil and Walsall. Also faces MK Dons in his spell. Could do us a favour if they get points in those games
 

Paul Hayes.

I know its only a months loan but its a move in the right direction aufwiedersein.
couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.
 

Paul Hayes.

Phew . Got to be good for all. Didn't fit in here and personally very pleased with this move . Prob will score for crawley but he never looked like doing it here
 

Paul Hayes.

But Uwe sees him day in day out in training and obviously couldn't see a partnership with BWP. Sure this means Farid much closer than we think to playing . Sub Tuesday ???
 

Paul Hayes.

Who is your new scapegoat now then please gpg? Back to Donaldson? Douglas again? My money's on Bidwell or Craig. :sorted: :love2: #footballgeniuses

That partnership got Charlton into the Championship so it must work! Whether it fits with our style of getting the ball to the forwards is an different thing - I think its a positive move all round. The bloke is a proven player - signs with us and then sees two loanee's coming in and being picked ahead of him, neither of whom (along with all the loanee's this season) have really shone - so why doesn't he get a chance? Same goes for Barron - signs as our LB, Bidwell comes back in on loan and he gets dropped and then when a chance comes up (Bidwell banned/dropped) Uwe re-jigs the back and he doesnt even get a sniff and on Saturday wasn't even in the squad!!!

Good luck to Hayes, hope it gets his confidence going again and he comes back as a better player
 

Paul Hayes.

I hope Crawley can afford his £4,000 a week...

I suggested that yesterday on the ''Team for Swindon'' thread.

I don't think Hayes is of the age or experience level where he is going out on loan for 'confidence and match fitness'. I can't imagine he'll feature many more times for us.

All I know is that the last time I saw Hayes play against Stevanage at home he missed 2 big chances, maybe that was the last straw, and based on that form is not going to provide too many other options.

it was the last straw as far as i'm concerned, they were absolute gilt-edged chances, the ball sat up as perfect as it ever will for a striker and he spooned them wide. if he had at least got one of them on target and the keeper pulls off a great save fair enough but both efforts were hopeless. if he comes back for the last few weeks a better player then great if not laters, no time for sentimentality at this point in the season if we truly want to go up, imo. :wave:

Paul Hayes.

not sure if the timing is right for a move like this....with all our strikers failing i would have hoped to keep him here as back up at the very least....ive crucified him this season BUT we need as many strikers as we can try at the mo......bizarre decision imho :(
 

Paul Hayes.

When I suggested he was on that sort of money I got hammered on here.

Doubt you're far off the mark.
Unfortunately hasn't worked out for Hayes here. For whatever reasons we've had no VFM so far. An intelligent player but don't ever recall a slower forward at GP

I was thinking the same just hoping Farid is ready to start v soon although we have to give him time after being out for so long.Will be very interesting to see how he does at Crawley as there must be something to him looking at the other clubs who were in for him.
