Agree. Problem is that the only player that we can play 1 up with is Vik. None of the others have got decent strength or exceptional pace. We’ve lost / managed to ship out our big players (ie strong ones, 6’4” Baka, 6”1 Max, even 6’1” Kasta at a stretch - they may not be upper Champ or even...

Without Gyok on the pitch it’s difficult to see where a goal is going to come from. He’s either pulling the defensive line about to make space for one of Godden or Walker or having a go himself. Any combination of Walker/Waghorn/Godden isn’t top half Champ material. Sorry. Not a knee jerk...

“I’ve got 20 grand on Preston to win 2-1. See that it happens or I’ll get the Stat Gimps and Grendel to read your bedtime stories”

Moore 7. Not a lot that he could do about either goal - distribution pretty good. Could have done with being a bit more urgent in the closing stages by trying to catch the opposition out with fast throws for the break. Dabo 6. Not his usual self but got forward well. Some decent crosses but...

Several decent crosses into the box late second half - no one to attack the ball after Gyok went off.

Yes, but has he had proper training in a proper set up? Can’t see he’s come through any serious youth system yet is still level 5. He’s gone the wrong way round as far as I can see. Look, I’m not saying you’re totally blinkered and stubborn in your writing him off, I’m merely suggesting that he...

I’d take both if we had the resources. Some you win. Offer them Hilssner, Jobello or whoever in exchange. (My point being that sometimes risks work out spectacularly (Sam Mc) sometimes horribly wrong). 21 year old local lad? We don’t have to travel far to look at him and homesickness isn’t a...

Fair enough if you’ve seen him a few times. I was going off the Man City & Celtic rumours. Possibly agent shenanigans - granted. I note you say that he has scope to improve and with us being the nearest (travel time wise) professional club with a decent development set up to where he is, it was...

That William “Fatty” Foulke was ok. (Satire) That’s true, at the time I ventured the thought he’d been starting more regularly. Things change. He’s 21 and won’t be getting the development Moors that he would be in our u23’s (no offence intended to Moors). Celtic, Man City we’re strongly...

We need a big stuntman for Gyok in the development squad - hence my Tavares point. Pay attention.

Still think he needs to watched. Creates a problem for opponents if he’s in the squad. Akinfenwa was always a problem (different type altogether - yes) but his mere presence on the bench affected opponent strategy / subs etc. 80th minute? 6’9” bloke comes on and starts standing in front of the...

Walker 5’10” Waghorn 5’10” Godden 5,9” including quiff Biamou 6’1” (Wiki) But anyway. I’m sure you think you’re right and Max was the physically weaker of that lot.

We will miss his physicality, hold up play and height if he doesn’t play. Our other strikers don’t lead the line - they are primarily ones who run off the shoulder of the defenders I pointed this out before and got the stat-gimps biting. Fingers crossed he’s ok. Any decent free agent target...

Surprised he didn’t misplace them.

It’s a shame that this isn’t classed as a first team match - one less Godden suspension (do the EFL stipulate that the ban must be for EFL / FA Cup etc. matches? Anyone happen to know how it works? The BSC, as the name suggests, was meant to be for Senior players at its inception - not a reserve...

Derby will find a buyer, can’t see them going the way of Bury - they’re too big a brand and have their own stadium. I’d have gladly swapped SISU up until a couple of years ago. But: -Unless I’m wrong the only debt that the club has is to itself - IE SISU companies. -By hook, crook or miracle...

I wondered who he was on about? Jodi Jones is the only other one with long term injury history, but didn’t think he was scared to play.

https://waterford-news.ie/2021/10/05/former-southend-player-signs-for-coventry-city/ News story from the other day that Abel Alabi has signed. (I can’t remember this been official anywhere). Anyway. This season will be biblical. Means our last two signings have been Kane & Abel.

I agree with the whole “we can only ever hope to be Norwich / West Brom” until Leicester somehow happened.

2 years ago I would have 100% agreed that London has the “allure” factor. Yes, it’s a bigger pull than Glasgow or Birmingham but the trend nowadays (particularly post Covid) is very much for high earners to head out of the big cities. That may reverse, but at the moment I can see more and more...
