I hope not. I have not been particularly impressed when he has come up against us. Looks average at best.

I was thinking the same (did I miss something). From the video near the end of the season, Rudoni clearly will have won Players' Player, but not sure what else. Has there even been a vote for fans player (apart from regional groups)? I have never known for it to be delayed.

He looks like Rudoni. Maybe it is tactical to confuse the opposition when marking. We already have Eccles and Torp who provides a 'who is that?' factor (at least from distance).

Didn't Strachan re-register as a player after retiring whilst managing?

Trevor Peake should have been capped for England. Quietly went about his business. Lloyd McGrath didn't pull up any trees but was the ultimate man marker / tough tackler. For modern day, Liam Kelly is a good shout.

It makes a mockery of possession based teams at the moment but to have success with it you need players who can break quickly and run with the ball. Sunderland have that with Mayenda. Palace have a number of players. Plymouth with Bundu. Luton with Alli. We don't seem to have those direct...

Just goes to show, if you get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

He was one of our quickest players at the time, surprisingly. Something we are lacking in defence (Van Erwijk the exception). Unfortunately, he seems to struggle keeping injury free.

Bollocks

I think we have a good chance of playoffs, maybe even more depending on ins and outs. Just don't think the relegated teams are going to be so strong. How the promoted teams do with their big spending may level things up.

Maybe so, but he showed in cameos that he had some quality. The Preston goal was not something your average Joe Bloggs can pull off. His performance v Man Utd was great. Some players need an opportunity in the first team to truly show what they can do. My argument is just that he never had a run...

Good luck to him. Seemed a good character. I know many say he wasn't up to the standard but personally I don't think he was given much of a chance due to selection, injuries and formation. I think if he played through the middle alongside another striker, he would have been useful.

Mateta showed exactly what we want from a centre forward in terms of ability and desire. Obviously we are not going to get the level of quality but we should get the battling attitude.

Bit silly announcing the release date. Gives Robins the opportunity to break in and destroy the Podcast machine!

Dolan may still develop but I think he lacks quality, at least when I have seen him play. He runs around a lot and certainly puts in an effort but not great end product. However, surprised to hear he had 13 goal involvements.
