Moses is 18 (born December 1982) and joined us (Bromley) from Hastings (allegedly on loan) right towards the beginning of last season having been released by West Ham over the summer. He played 10 times for us and was a sub four times, scoring three goals before being released in November shortly after the arrival of our new manager.

 

He looked fast and clearly had skill, but was easily pushed off the ball and his physique made him unsuitable for the style of football we were trying to play.

I saw a fair bit of Moses last season. In the first game for our reserves he scored a hat-trick. In 15 starts he scored 13 goals. However, 8 of those goals came in 2 games against poor opposition in his first few games and he did tail off, form and goal wise at the end of the season and he wasn't a regular in the side late on (mainly a sub).

In his early games he impressed me a lot and he did get a game as a sub and 45 minutes from the start in a cup game for the first team, but failed to impress. Although in his defence, the game he started was one of our worst of the season performance wise. I think his confidence was dented after that and I think he is a confidence player, he is strong running with the ball and took his chances superbly early on in his stay here. He was with West Ham in the same youth team as (Jermaine) Defoe, but was released by them.

 

I think given the chance, he could do good things for you.

 

* Notice how the above two judgements contradict each other with regards to the player's strength.

Re: Moses Jjunju

 

He was very popular among us fans behind the goal and had his shirt sponsored by my fanzine – which appears to be the kiss of death as far as a Bromley playing career goes!

 

He's a very quick, small striker who can also play wide right. His ball skills are excellent, but maybe his awareness of other players around him could improve with better coaching. He scored some nice solo goals in his time at BFC and also won us a few penalties against clumsy defenders. Most people were sad to see him go. He was really a victim of circumstance as he played under 3 different managers during a crisis period at the club.

 

I hope he works out at Lincoln, it would be good to see.

 

 

The lowdown on all of City's new men is to follow over the coming week.
