We rejected two £1million bids for him yesterday believed to be from Preston and Bristol City.

Garner Bids Rejected

Long time no speak to you guys.

Scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season today.

He's calmed down a lot in the last two months or so from early season yellow card extravaganza.

£140,000 is looking like an absolute steal for us so far.

They seem to be pretty impressed on the whole.

Goal of the season contender from him today, watch it on The Championship tomorrow.

Good finish, lobbed ball into the box, shot across goal into the far corner with a half-volley from 15 yards, he did fine again today, the goal will be the Championship on ITV tomorrow morning.

Today was an utter farce, I've never seen a game like it, we had 23 corners to their three, and a pretty similar ratio on shots, they were in our half four times and scored four times.

Happy days.

Anthony Williams is our second choice (by a distance) keeper by the way for whoever mentioned that further up the thread.

Joe missed a good chance at Brentford on Saturday (0-0) apparently but certainly did OK for the rest of the game.

In the 1-0 win at home to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night he received the sponsors man of the match award, so you can't ask for much better than that. Puts himself about well, has a great first touch and awareness, wins a lot of headers for a lad of his size and was unlucky twice not to score with a header well saved and one cleared off the line, everyone is very impressed with him so far.

That's twice I've seen Forest against us this season and they are quite poor considering the money they have spent, they just pass it around the back four for ages, then get bored and hoof it straight down the middle.

There are some pictures of Joe in action through the link, starting from the seventh row down :

He was very impressive today in a game where we got totally smash and grabbed.

He features with nearly everybody on our board as a positive from today.

Carlisle fan here.

Quite a difference of opinion on him then by the looks of it?

Is he Simon Garner's son or is that not trrue?
