Walker looked very poor though, no way he should be playing up top on his own at any point this season
Ah yeh good point, players that finished comfortably 16th in the Championship have suddenly become below par L1 players based on a pre season game away at Cheltenham.We played them against Cheltenham and lost 2-0

In my taxi days going back a few years could tell you some stories of the upstairs rooms at the Bell Green KFC it was busier than the down stairs.Best services ever, Helen, the night manager at KFC gives blowjobs for a tenner, honestly, just ask her!

He certainly worked hard but really had very little service and therefore didn't achieve a lot. Interesting that he has been played on his own up front against Seville, Cheltenham and Mansfield but Waghorn and Gyokores have been played as a pair. From last season and the friendlies we have played this, I can't see Walker succeeding as a loan striker. He doesn't seem to have the physicality needed to play that role. It will be good to see what he can do playing with another striker.Game of opinions innit:

Why can't he play with Gyo or Waghorn?
He's clearly more effective in a 2, I can't understand the thinking behind it.
I wouldn't be worried.Can i ask if others are worried by the lack of goals scored, or is this just the usual pre-season "minutes under the belt" thing? If not, we're gonna get spanked in the league.
Thanks
I wouldn't be worried.
In the games I have seen there has been a mix of players likely to start and those unlikely or even very unlikely to get many first team minutes. Add to this that from the 60 minute mark there have been several substitutions that have inevitably disrupted, even weakened the team.
I felt that Hamer, O'Hare and Allen have looked sharp in the minutes that they have had and that Waghorn and Gyokores both looked sharp and seemed to have a reasonable partnership building. Walker,unfortunately, hasn't had the chance to play with a partner yet. Of the 4 strikers we have, perhaps only Godden could be effective in the loan striker role, a role which despite all his critics on here, Biamou did reasonably well in last season. At the moment, due to Godden's injury, playing one up front is possibly not an option.
Jones has been okay without having the creative spark that he has shown in the past. It's great to see him playing again and with time hopefully he can get back up to speed. There were some real pieces of magic from Enobakhare last night. Can he produce them in the Championship? I think he can and he will.
I wouldn't be downhearted about preseason results. When up to full strength I think we will be competitive at the back and in midfield and may have a bit more of a cutting edge up front this season with Gyokores and Waghorn.

Every single one of our strikers are a better option as a lone striker than Biamou
That one statement right there proves you have zero knowledge of the game - or most likely actually didn't see any of our games last year. In Godden's absence last season Max was by far the most effective in the lone striker role. But I guess you know better than Robins right?
We all admired Biamou’s industry and attitude but he’s not clinical enough to play at the Championship level if you have ambitions to progress.That one statement right there proves you have zero knowledge of the game - or most likely actually didn't see any of our games last year.

He is clearly not match fit , can’t see us progressing , I think we have utilised some of these players to enable the games to be playedSeems very mixed views on Rocky last night …. I’ve not seen him play ….
can anyone give a balanced overview of what they have seen in him so far ?

The academy lads are playing a lot of games too and played a part in last night , you also don’t want to “ruin” the academy players and build them upMaybe I’m missing something but I don’t see why you wouldn’t play one of the academy kids over a trialist you’ve no intention of signing.

Why has Robins let go of the best finisher and athlete at the club?
Not what he said is it Dom

I wasn't chipping away. You said the bloke was black and it was a black bloke attacking white blokes. Exactly, I've ignored him after that.www.skybluestalk.co.uk

Sad mate, ‘really, really fucking sad’
I don’t think they want to take the risk , Ryan howley has does brilliantly though but looking at the others they are not strong enough at the momentI think what I’m saying is I don’t understand why giving an academy kid a run out in a preseason friendly would ruin them.
Yeah there's a reason I have stayed well away from that thread.What’s this got to do with the match?
what a weird reply DomReading

Care to tell us where DT said those things about Biamou?
Isn’t it more likely that Lawrence has suggested there is a player there if we can get him match fit ??He is clearly not match fit , can’t see us progressing , I think we have utilised some of these players to enable the games to be played
