Be interesting to see what Max can do at this level, should he get the opportunity. Can’t see him starting many, but he has a knack of scoring some cracking goals so could be a useful option off the bench. Maybe he’ll end up playing more in cup games, we’ll need some options (assuming a standard number of games).
Yeah, it’s gonna be tough for Max to make an impression this year. Personally can’t remember when we’ve had a 4th choice striker (assuming we add at least 1), let alone one that does bicycle kicks from the halfway-lineAlthough I reckon we'll bring in a stiker before the start of the season at most I can see Max being a 5-10 min sub in the hope he'll get a worldy to get us an equaliser chasing a game. He might be first choice sub as a straight swap for Godden but Baka will be first choice if we bring the extra striker on IMO.
As it stands Godden is first choice, with Baka next if Godden is out.
Did he play for reading before or am I thinking of a different guy?Whilst bored on a long holiday drive I started having a think about the sort of striker we might go for if we were A) looking for out own permanent signing B) not looking at free agents C) looking for players to push for a starting spot/ fit in to our system.
A player that seems to fit this mould might be Jón Dadi Bödvarsson from Millwall. OK, so he hasn't set the championship in fire (but if he had we wouldn't be able to afford him). Also still has 2 years left on his contract. But...
He's only just turned 28, he's 6'2 and from doing a bit of reading about him he does seem like he'd fit our style. A more physical (and taller) Godden perhaps, but he likes to play with the ball at his feet and with his back to the goal, get in behind defenders and challenge for balls in the air.
Previous managers and fans have said they think he has a lot of potential, but has not been given enough of a chance and not played in a system that suits him. He wasn't signed by Rowett and could be considered surplus.
Not saying he's the one, but could be this the sort of player we might look at?
If that remains the same into the season, the recruitment team should be accused of a dereliction of duty.Although I reckon we'll bring in a stiker before the start of the season at most I can see Max being a 5-10 min sub in the hope he'll get a worldy to get us an equaliser chasing a game.

Remember we were linked with Eaves when he was at Bolton and Pressley was in charge. I think he'd scored one professional goal. I think he'd be a good addition though. Completely different to anything we have.A similar player to him would be Tom Eaves just relegated with Hull, looked decent at Gillingham.
He was prolific at reading one season could be worth a lookYes that's him. He was at wolves before that I think
The most goals he scored in a season for Reading was 7 unless you’re talking about another playerHe was prolific at reading one season could be worth a look

Yeah he's not been prolific, but looks like he does a lot of the hard work and looks to get other players involved too. Annoyingly can't find his assist record, but for Reading he got 10 goals (including cup games - I know they don't count for some... ) in one season and 7 the next.

Maybe he went on a run of scoring them goals close together that made me think he was more prolific than he wasThe most goals he scored in a season for Reading was 7 unless you’re talking about another player
These people staying announce Shankland are they just picking names out of an old hat or anything to it?
Morgan Fox gone to Stoke from Sheff Weds, surely we could have looked at him? Stoke more of a basket case than we are.
Not really, they've got a decent manager, decent squad and very very very wealthy ownersMorgan Fox gone to Stoke from Sheff Weds, surely we could have looked at him? Stoke more of a basket case than we are.
He's shite mateMorgan Fox gone to Stoke from Sheff Weds, surely we could have looked at him? Stoke more of a basket case than we are.
Here we go.Can have a few lagers in the sun then I'll pick out a lower league striker to take a punt on. Watch this space.
Here we go.
Two choices for you. Bez Lubala. Scored something like 11 in first 3 months for a piss poor Crawley team. 22 years old and wanted by bigger clubs.
Callum Morton. Wba. Runs all day, plays the game and is pacey as fuck. We're shedding 6 figures on sheaf, spend another 6 on this guy and two seasons time we'll be laughing.
There are my 2 choices. I'm a few cans in as mentioned earlier but I'm still not pissed enough to consider Dabo in CM @Magwitch
Old maggers picked that selection out 9am sober!You’d have to be very pissed to consider Dabo a CM.
Go onto insta and check out @ideal_gk
He looks a much better goalkeeping backup to Ben Wilson, his name is Declan McCarthy
The videos are pretty enjoyable to watch of his saves too
From what I can make out it looks like he plays for Fareham Town
Not saying this is someone we should sign but he does look bloody good

Can the machine play up top?Jesus Christ, he’s just having balls launched at him by a machine

We don't need another goalie. We need cm competition for DaboGoogle tells me he has left Fareham for the mighty Arlesford Town

Ben Wilson has played roughly 40 first team games in his whole career at the grand old age of 27, half of them for Telford. For a reminder of Ben Wilson, here in him in action for Bradford against us...
... Average!
