Will this lad take the place of tavares as the fringe forward this season ? Feel there is alot more potential there than with fabio

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 25, 2023

What’s he been like in the youth teams?

Il be honest I have no idea , but he looks a real handful and a decent prospect

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 25, 2023

What’s happened to Marco Rus? Is he injured?

I was impressed at FGR. He’s a big lad. Seemed to be quick and decent on the ball…a good finish albeit one he should’ve scored.
And it was only a friendly against FGR.

Weird one isn't it because no offence to some of the youth team who are in the squads, but Rus would (or should) be ahead of them

Different type of strikers. Obikwu looks more like the big powerful centre forward,
I think he'll get a place on the bench unless we do some serious business pretty quickly.

Although the squad is threadbare, we look like we have some decent kids that may not be too far away.

Big awkward and has pace in the couple of halves I've now seen him in. Tbf the standard of opposition he's been up against and beaten teams it's difficult to assess, but certainly offers an alternative option.

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Jul 25, 2023

I think it'd be interesting to see this lad and Tavares together for U21 as a big man-little man combo. Both have a fair way to go to be challenging for first team.

Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon · Jul 25, 2023

Depends who else we sign as i think of we bring another 1 or 2 experienced strikers in he is highly unlikely to get any game time. He certainly looked decent at times tonight, terrible opposition but he was getting into good positions and very nearly had two goals

rexo87 · Jul 25, 2023

Defo something there. Seems to have decent feet and good attributes physically. Hope we can get a couple strikers in so him and Tavares can go out on loan

To those who went tonight, what was wrong with his "rubbish" celebration?

Just realised that, oops. Good to have youngsters coming through.

Lots to like about this lad, you can see he has raw talent and natural attributes to do well. Looks a bit of a.find for me and although early days id keep him close and put him with the 1st team everyday possible build him up and get him a loan out in Jan.

I see what you mean but mk dons and forest green will both be hoping for a positive league 2 season after relegation.

This lad was on loan at North Leigh last season, I don't even know what division that is but if he's standing out against teams who last season were in league 1, he's developing very well indeed

Watched him a lot last season. Thought he was excellent. A real old fashioned centre forward, who drives up the pitch. Scored some good goals.

He looked good when he came on last night.

Cobi Jones's Dreads · Jul 26, 2023

He reminded me of a very raw version of Elijah Adebayo last night, there’s definitely a player there and potentially a very good one.

I agree he's developing well i am just not sure he will get much time on the pitch here if we sign another couple of forwards. If we do then maybe he will get loaned out and that will hopefully help him push on a bit more. I think there's definitely potential in him, hopefully we get to see it.

Bloody hell if you have mixed Stretton & Obikwu up I’d get to specsavers and quick.

Yup, wasn't him, but his non-rubbish celebration of the goal he didn't score, was awful wasn't it.

Well in fairness Taveres has a long term injury, he can and does score goals but football is cruel, the cruelest of sports and injuries can happen anytime and spike your chances I hope this doesn’t happen with him, but time doesn’t stop in football.
