More froth please if you're going to fit in round here
More froth please if you're going to fit in round hereThat's rubbish though isn't it? I get what you're saying but we signed a player from Norwich, championship level. Although they terminated his contract, I'm sure he could've done a job in L1, but he chose us.
And paying as little wage as possible...isn't that what all clubs should be doing? 'Not' doing that in the 90's set us on our path South.

Any player here especially youngsters with real promise will be vulnerable to be "nicked" by the bigger fish, we are a FOURTH division club who also pay is little wage as possible apparently. Unfortunately those "bigger" fish include the likes of Fleetwood, Burton Albion Bury etc

Fit in? WM has been here longer than you.
And he fits in your pocket he's so small. He fits in anywhere.
no1 give 2 shits about danny newton if we had made it 3 wins from 3 on saturday
Wow did I walk into a playgroundFit in? WM has been here longer than you.
Could be here 100 years and not necessarily "fit in"...Maybe poor choice of words thoughFit in? I'd like to think I'm part of the furniture now pal.

If you'd been here longer then you'd know that's a yes.Wow did I walk into a playground
I doubt many are fussed about Danny Newton, but some maybe interested to see how a player stepping up form national league north adapts to life in L2 as a professional footballer.
Haha I'll get thereIf you'd been here longer then you'd know that's a yes.

it wasnt aimed at you specifically, just pre empting the oh why didnt we buy him all our strikers are crap stuff
how was newtons record compared to biamou in non league btw?
At a lower level.Newtons record is much better
At a lower level.
The two French clubs he played for look tiny clubs.
Hardly fair to judge him on leagues we know nothing about,
And Hinckley, Leamington and Brackley aren't exactly the best teams in England.
Hell Kevin Malaga looked like Vincent Kompany against Hinckley.
To ne honest when Biamou has a touch of the Malagas - early days but he looks out of it.
Again I think that's hardly fair, we are 3 games into the season, and he has started one which was against a team that was playing in the championship last year, think he needs to be given some time before he's simply written off as crap.
He will clearly get time but people will make observations on what they see. He hasn't hit the ground exactly running and doesn't look like a target man. His ariel ability looks questionable to say the least.
I've a background in scouting in football and if I'd have been sent to watch the lad in question my report back wouldn't of been favourable. Comes short when he needs to stretch the pitch, doesn't seem strong when under pressure and loses the ball easily and for a striker simply doesn't look a threat at all.Again I think that's hardly fair, we are 3 games into the season, and he has started one which was against a team that was playing in the championship last year, think he needs to be given some time before he's simply written off as crap.

Yeah I'd like to get him in me pocket , and rub him on me balls

It's very early and I expect he has something to offer but he is miles away from first team level and it would be expected he drops out the matchday squad shortly to develop in the u23's.
Don't ask me about Stevenson who's career appears to have stalled and is in danger of nose diving if Saturdays cameo is anything to go by. The confidence is shot and in almost every touch was sidewards afraid of risking a killer ball that was needed. Afraid of the crowd more than opponents. Not sure what his main strengths are?
Waste of a sub on Saturday.

Hummmm strange how we all see the game differently isn't it? Guess that's why everyone has an opinion on the game!I have done a bit of scouting myself, gave it up mind you due to other commitments.
I haven't seen enough of him to judge tbh, and I don't think it's fair to judge on the appearances he has been given, and will wait for more opportunity to see him.
Would also point out, you may have a background in scouting, but I'm pretty sure Mark Robins knows what a good striker looks like, and I think TW has enough experience scouting as well.
I also disagree on Stevenson, while he perhaps wasn't as good as some games last year, he along with Andreau, pushed the team up the field about 15 yards, and recycled the ball well, yes he didn't shoot perhaps when he could have like last year (although it could be argued this is actually a sign of greater maturity as it is likely it wouldn't have troubled the keeper) he didn't try any killer passes but he didn't have a lot of movement in front of him, and most of the time he had 10 Newport players in front of him.
His tackling was good when they attempted to break, and he played better than Kelly had in that first half.

Regarding Stevenson can't agree with you. We looked for players that would drive into a gap with the ball and have the confidence to make a mistake but continue to make things happen. Stevenson doesn't/didn't. Saturday was safe, safe safe.... I don't see a player that won't play higher than league 1 (i hope I'm wrong!!!)
Stevenson has never been somebody who carries the ball. I can see why you're no longer scoutingHummmm strange how we all see the game differently isn't it? Guess that's why everyone has an opinion on the game!
