The Pepples's Front of Judea

 

I believe you mean the Judean Pepple’s Front.

Not involved in the friendly Luton had today

But is still around their first team. Was in a video welcoming Amari Bell back from Jamaica duty yesterday.

And was wearing Calvary shorts, I believe.

After featuring there, didn't feature in an u21 friendly against Welling United last night. 

First team face Wolves in a friendly today.

Edit: Not in the team there either.

Hopefully a loan in the works.

Scored against Arsenal U21 in a friendly yesterday

He’s been around so long I forget he’s only 20

Scoring (preseason I know) for the U21s on a Premier League/Championship team is not a bad place to be.

Still hoping for a good loan though.

Not on the squad for today's match, not surprisingly. Still if this continues and he isn't loaned out I will pray for Luton's downfall as I did Notthingham Forest.

Got a Fotmob notification He's joining Bromley?

Damn. Playing Conference (5th tier).

1 step below his last year loan.

Still smiling. Here's hoping he bangs them in there south of the River and attracts some attention.

Not the end of the world. He's still young and at the end of the day he is being loaned out from an EPL side, not a League one or two side. Let's just hope he bangs in the goals. 

[Big_M]

even there being a starter there will be difficult...good level and very competitive not much room for error...team only has a point in three games...high pressure...but with a 46 game season opportunities will be there

[Dominic94]

I remember at a point Dan J was in the 6th tier…

Had a poster on here throw a complete hissy fit a year or two back when I suggested CanPL was comparable in quality to the English fifth tier, but still think that's broadly accurate and overstating things only where the Valour and Vancouver are concerned.

Bottom line is that he couldn't go any lower in England and still be playing against fully professional opponents most weeks, so if he isn't able to start regularly and score goals reasonably regularly the next stop is likely to be somewhere like the League of Ireland, Cyprus or at a lower tier in Norway or Sweden.

No great way to spin this, I'm afraid.

How about: Simeon Jackson was playing a similar level at roughly the same age?

Makes me feel better knowing that. 

Jackson was scoring tons of goals at these lower levels - let's hope Pepple does the same. 

[Ozzie_the_parrot]

Just checked wikipedia and Simeon Jackson got his move to Gillingham in League One at around Pepple's current age having broken through into the Rushden & Diamonds team and scored five goals when they were still in League Two two seasons before that. Think it's a stretch to suggest their careers can be so readily compared. Bromley are a small club that has never had the sort of financial backing Rushden & Diamonds received from the Dr Martens dude back in the day.

[blueseeka]

Tuned in at 90' to see Pepple. Fotmob had him subbed on at 14'. It was impossible to read the numbers of the Bromley uniforms. What a crazy pattern on these thing. Now i see he was subbed off at 84'

Yeah but did Jackson score 6 goals in 7 CPL games? .....I don't think so!

In all seriousness though appreciate you digging into that. We might want to set our expectations accordingly. 

Even if Pepple doesn't have the same trajectory as Jackson he is still in a decent spot, being loaned out from an EPL side and playing first team football. For all we know Luton could go straight back down and if he has a stellar season on loan he could be in the mix for minutes at the Championship level.

He's just 1 year older than Jebbison and a few years behind where Jebbison was, because in 2020-21 Jebbison was also out on loan to Chorley in National League North, a level lower than where Pepple is right now. But Jebbison is a very highly regarded young player that's been linked to Juventus, Dortmund and several other EPL clubs. The fact Pepple is just a year older and just a few seasons behind in his development is positive and suggests he could be at a good level in a few years (and myabe get a NT chance).

Vardy is probably the most recent example I can think of that tore up the Conference an ended up becoming a Premier League player. I'm sure there are others.

I remember when York's Petrasso went on loan to Barnet in this same division and he was considered their best player immediately.

I realize its just an anecdote.

With Luton Town, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu is playing for them since the 5th tier. 

[VinceA]

I think we're pumping up Pepple too much right now.

He's been a pro since 2019, had one good stretch with Cavalry and has been utterly ineffective in every other professional environment he's been in so far. He is young but he has had no stability so far and deciding to try Europe again after failing the first time around instead of staying and playing with Cavalry probably wasn't the best option. We'll see what happens but it looks like he might have a third stint with Cavalry in the near future.
