It is likely that he goes but there there are at least two scenarios where he stays: 1) As you say, we get promoted and pay him £50k per week. 2) CCFC owner (could even be MA for all we know in the summer) decides that, say, 65k per week over 3 years (£10m) contract makes Vik worth £10m more...

I wonder if Swansea fans regret not keeping him…?

Agree. He’s knackered from playing pretty much every minute of every game, then going on international break where he’s probably had lots of training and little rest. When he does play he’s grabbed and kicked and gets little protection from referees and is playing without the “decoy” (ie...

https://amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/news/meet-the-footballer-with-the-same-name-as-his-club_341094.html Bradley Stokes played for Bradley Stoke. Does that count?

He got barged and grabbed and held from the get go yesterday. This is par for the course now. This is where our captain should be in the refs ear. I’d like to see us utilise the Southgate “bus stop” in set plays. Vik in the middle and Fadz / McNally blocking the “shirt grabbers”

Actually forgotten we’d signed him. Good point.

Is a penalty some kind of 90% XG or don’t they get counted like that?

Ok. I think I kind of get it. Is that his conversion rate per quality opportunity? Edit: I’ve read other poster comments above. I guess each “good opportunity” is subjective to some degree.

I’m not up is to speed with XG and how it works but given that Godden’s main strength is finishing rather than creating or pressing I’d hope he’d have a good goals to chances ratio?

Dobbie in until rest of season so no “Warnock type” lined up to give them a shout of staying up. Bit trigger happy that, Scouts then Manager. Josh Bowler is a good champ player. Shame. Many will miss the away day.

Godden was/is a great natural finisher and alongside a different strike partner or in a different formation might have more goals. Injuries and that thing, age, which catches up with everyone, have taken their toll. His support play and all round game isn’t top Champ level. His goals...

I think having options in a threadbare squad rather than having 3 short strikers when we play Vik often as a lone striker is sensible. 30k per week of cost on players who don’t suit our preferred system and no decent back up elsewhere. (Checks sanity above) Yep. Rather have a tall option to...

I think only McNally is over 6ft1 but no matter. Most teams at this level have a couple of big centre backs that defend corners and mark the opposing aerial threats. These same players get forward for attacking corners and such. We have a squad of relatively short strikers and midfielders...

One was 29 and it’s a 6 month deal. One was 31 for 24 months plus One has aerial ability, one doesn’t. You’re either not very bright or just trying to be a tool? It’s poor sarcasm at best. “Sign both” Pathetic. Bore off or put your pathetic come-back below:

That’d work. Cov kid Paterson lowest mark there btw.

I know. It’s utterly pathetic that some people have to pick up on things like that. They must be real fun in real life. Imagine if I’d have put Chairman? Some genius: “Durr… she isn’t man..”

Agreed. The fact that we switched to short corners was interesting yesterday, I thought Gus’s whipped in close to the line corners caused problems in the past Having a 6ft3 striker option to get on the end of them to flick on or nod in seems sensible.

? Heavy night last night?

Are Boosh, Sick Boy and Grendel the same person? Mentality of a 12 year old. Bless.

Wickham was 29 and a 6 month deal. We have no forward in the squad over 5 ft 10 other than Vik. Waghorn 31 and 2 years. We also had Godden (5 9 wiki) Walker (5 10 wiki) who play that kind of role. We have Hamer in the squad who can be a great deliverer of a cross or dead ball. Think back, how...
