I remember him coming in as a sub in a first team match, probably that season when I was a junior sky blue. To me, a kid, he seemed huge and caused all kinds of problems. Wags on the kop we’re singing about “change us our light bulbs” or something.

It’s not a partner we need for Gyo, it’s someone to play his role when he’s not in the pitch. Godden and Walker and Waghorn (all decent on their day) are players that need to play off someone. We have no stand in for Gyo, and not a huge transfer pot which is why I’ve been banging on about...

Really? Some players get overlooked by their local big team scouts. I’ll offer Sam McCallum as an example. Don’t you think he was watched? Basketball players 🙄.Great chat. I’ll stick to my guns, a local 6’9” player would be a good fit in our great youth development set up and in future be a...

If he was 6’0” he wouldn’t cause as many headaches for goalkeepers and opponent managers so the question is irrelevant; I’ll answer it though, OBVIOUSLY NOT. Similarly, nor would Peter Crouch had the same career if he wasn’t 6’7”. 6,9” strikers playing at a half decent level don’t come around...

Birmingham had 6’7” Kevin Francis back in the day. He’d cause opposition management headaches whenever he played. I’d sign Hudlin and get him in the training ground for days on end practicing corners with Gus. Big fella at nearpost and in front of their goalie. Goalie won’t be able to just...

Thought he did well for us. Would be a handy back up player but wouldn’t be first choice behind Fank.

Watt role will he play or cover? Bright?

Much like we have Cranie training with us I’d quite like Max doing the same. Just my opinion. Vic gets injured, get Max to fill in on some kind of pay as you play or, low basic rate (as you say, not in demand elsewhere so it’s not as though he’d turn it down). Loan him to a local side like Moors...

That he scored more goals with less playing time, it seems, is quite true.

I agree that Cranie would be useful and can cover a few positions. Prem teams and upper Champ teams have cover for all positions. We need to start thinking like an upper Champ team to be one. We don’t need a bunch of 10k/week reserves, but we do need injury cover and players to come in to slot...

I have every faith in Robins. I believe he will pull in a couple of players in the last minute and may do something unexpected like loan out Walker to a L1 team with a recall option. At the moment I think we have an issue with squad depth and balance. An injury to say, Fadz or Dabo or Maatsen...

Waghorn was a strange signing. 31, we are not going to get a fee from him so isn’t in our “development” model and with Godden & Walker (also JJ, O Hare, Bright or even Jamie Allen in the even of an injury crisis) able to play in that position it seems a bit daft. It could only have been that...

The “mistake” wasn’t necessarily taking Gyo off, particularly if he had a shoulder niggle or similar - the problem is that we haven’t got a physical striker on the bench or indeed in the squad. A couple of decent high balls were sent to Walker who let the ball bounce rather than try to bring...

Gyo going off was the game changer. It meant that they (QPR) felt that they could push on knowing that we didn’t have an aerial target man to build a long ball break around. it’s all about small differences at this level.

Watched it in Ayia Napa. Wish I’d stayed at the pool bar. I’ll say it again: Victor is key - he gives us a physical target and means that the opposition has to adapt and be wary When he went off the game changed in their favour. That we haven’t got a stand in for him this is, IMO a key weakness...

That about sums it up

Man City with 10 men likely to batter most teams.

He’s a good player in the right set up. He has a great left foot and a great passing range and seems cool in front of goal and doesn’t panic. He reminds me of an old school Ian Crook type player. That said, our team isn’t old school and tracking back and tackling are key requirements- things...

I hope the players get to see these videos. start of first training session of the week - give them something to smile about and see how their performances matter to people.

Genius. fair play to you that man.
