Agree. He hasnt been great by any means but hes an 18 year old playing his first games in professional football. Will only get better as the season goes on.

Looks a talent and we will be lucky to have him. Direct with quick feet. When Jones is back we could be a very exciting side down the flanks.

We made hard work of that. Doyle man of the match. I actually thought Andreu was excellent first half. Mason I also thought did well. He had so much of the ball and probably should have done more with it. Probably the most frustrated Ive been with Bayliss. Made poor decisions a few times.

This David Deakin seems to be saying we are in talks to bring this guy in. Not sure how credible he is based on his scaremongering about Bayliss being sold.

Ive never really watched much of a game at that level but the centre back Conor Shaughnessy I thought looked solid. 6ft 3. Wouldnt be a bad loan signing.

I quite like Geoff and know he has had some quite serious health problems so am a bit uncomfortable criticising him. Having said that I grew up listening to Rob Gurney who was absolutely incredible. Believe he still covers West Brom these days. Id kill to have him back.

Thought he was excellent for an hour and shouldnt have been taken off.

I've found Portsmouth's pursuit of a striker and their local press reporting on it as infuriating as anything we've experienced. Reminds me of Mowbrays chase for a big centre half the summer before we got relegated.

Don't think we are out of thw woods yet with this. I think it was always going to be a Championship club most likely to get Bayliss and they can still offer significant money.

Panda or Betterdays... You believe its likely there will be any movement tomorrow?

I think we will still get Chaplin but possibly on loan with a view to a permanent deal later before the end of August. In the current formation Bakayoko would be in the three behind the main striker. One thing I think Robins wants from us is to be able to counter attack quickly. I wouldnt be...

Anyone think Biamou or JCH could get shipped out?

Apparently we have had a bid accepted for the Walsall striker according to Aidan McCartney (who used to be the CT journo) Bristol Rovers have also had a bid accepted.

Willis was shattered. Was looking to the bench for a while. Taking Bayliss off was a mistake though. A lot of positives though. We look a really good side. When you think we still have Jones, Allassani and Davies to come back. Added to that new additions before Thursday and things look promising.

Think the up front payment for Armstrong is about £1.75m. A proven League One striker. Makes the fee for McNulty look pretty decent.

Seems a bit from left field but I think the guy who took over from Widdrington was Norwich European scout so could be where this has come from. It would clearly be a gamble based on his injury but Thompson and Williams being highly thought of could offer a safety net.

Saw a report earlier that a lot of clubs are in for him...

You know a name on the defender panda? Any clues? Experienced? Permanent or loan?

The fact its only a two year deal I dont think the initial outlay will be that substantial. Said on another thread maybe its loaded with a sizeable sell on clause.

Notice hes in the number 20 shirt also which I think still leaves 10 vacant. With it being a 2 year deal (rather than 3) I think this implies we havent paid much. I wondered if the deal is structured like the rumoured one for Turnbull years ago where barely anything was paid up front but there...
