Lightbourne's too old.

Nick · Aug 28, 2018

Nothing better than singling players out to have a go is there?

It's a bit strange, at least it took the heat off Hiwula. Dread to think what he would be getting if Bakayoko hadn't signed.

christonabike · Aug 28, 2018

Give the bloke a fucking chance will you? New team new players and a manager trying what formation works with the players.

Nick · Aug 28, 2018

Would love nothing more than for him to score and then give our fans the finger or tell them to ssh to watch them cry like bitches.

Lightbourne or Bakayoko?

Regardless, I suspect just about all of us would like nothing more than for him to score.

(Just be prepared to wait a bit longer than with some other forwards for that sweet sweet loving)

He's already scored... Even then people tried their best to be negative.

What he's done in the past is irrelevant to the future.

Electric ones? Useful in Bermuda I suppose.

We have more than our fair share of twats, it has to be said.

Doesn't every club?

Anyway, Barnsley at home(? may have been away. Dire defeats to Barnsley blur into one!) and we featured the classic forward line of Lightbourne and Haworth. Bit of a comedown from Dublin.

tbf, always seemed a bit harsh to judge Lightbourne, as he'd been signed as a bit of a punt in case he came on. He never did, of course! Haworth was a different matter, as we decided he was the better bet than Robert Earnshaw...

It's almost as if we've contributed to his wages........

Deleted member 5849 · Aug 28, 2018

God, just checked, and Simon Haworth is younger than me. Where have the years gone?!?

Let's go round his house and drink all his milk

Nope. Shouldn't give him a chance. He was crap at Walsall so will be crap here. No player in the history of football had ever done well at one club and poorly at another.

Fingers crossed he doesn't get back on that plane from Sierra Leone.

Legia Sky Blue · Aug 28, 2018

Lightbourne had scored 20+ goals in each of the 3 seasons before signing for us, and on that basis was a reasonable punt, given that he was joining an established Premier League team as a squad player. There really is no comparison between the two players in terms of their records when they joined, but equally there is no comparison between the club Lightbourne joined in 1997, and the club Bakayoko has now joined, other than the shared name of Coventry City, so really don't know what point you're trying to make. Bakayoko is the sort of unproven player teams in this league take a chance on so get over it and hope that he turns out to be decent.

Exactly. No comparison to be had.

Lightbourne looks like he'd take you out for a nice dinner first but treat you mean. Bakayoko looks like he'd give you a cuddle after.

That what you're after?

Bakayoko could throw it further m8

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 28, 2018

I think Bakayoko will be a better player than Lightbourne. If he gets a run you would expect at least 7 goals from him this season.

Otis · Aug 28, 2018

John Williams v Bakayoko. Who has the longest legs?

Magwitch · Aug 28, 2018

Another pointless veiled anti Bakayoko thread apart from anything else Lightbourne was a premiership player Bakayoko as yet only ever played third division

Covstu · Aug 28, 2018

The poor bloke has just joined and is being shot down already but it was to be expected similar to those hammering McNulty after 2 games. It happens everywhere so the best way is for him to show his worth, he will never be a 20 a season man

Warwickhunt · Aug 28, 2018

2 different type of player why are you trying for a comparrison???

itsabuzzard · Aug 28, 2018

Superb.

FFS Leave Bakayoko alone will you!
He has only just arrived and people who dont know any better are already slagging him off.
He is a good footballer and is still getting to grips with a new club and new team-mates and a new style of playing.
This guy is a young lad who will give everything he has to get it right.
He is also a thoroughly decent human being who gets involved in helping others less fortunate than himself so jog on!
AMADOU IT FOR THE HOMELESS

CJ_covblaze · Aug 28, 2018

Random fact, Lightbourne was capped by Bermuda at cricket. He was also Dwayne Leverock's coach during the World Cup when he did "that catch".

PVA · Aug 28, 2018

I'm not sure I've ever seen a player singled out like this so soon after joining.

It's not exclusive to us, but a lot of our fans really are pricks.

Why do you always go for the understatement?

They're quite big fellas so they're more likely to be shot (which I think would be agreeable to a few on here)

(EDITED FOR GRAMMAR POLICE)
