Clearly Tavares is ahead of Bright in terms of getting on the bench

How do you work that out? If Tavares was going to be on the bench he wouldn’t be playing today

Medics can't look at things until a player reports it
Reckoned he had a niggle in his knee apparently

Doing it in the 23s is one thing, doing it against men is completely different, hence why Rochdale sold him to us after little impact. He should go on loan somewhere, was at Curzon Ashton last season

He looks really good. I hope he doesn't end up being one of those that just looks really good in u23s but can't make the step up. Like to see him get a few minutes off the bench here and there.

Yes McBean and even Bremang scored plenty - I suppose you’re looking for transferable attributes to men’s football

It might be genuine
That's the problem when you have a bit of a reputation
We'll see soon enough as I guess Robins will be asked about him ahead of the Blackpool game

Yes he was here for a long time as a trialist, they couldn’t announce officially it as under embargo

If Bright isn’t on the bench tomorrow you’ve really got to question the process that brought him here and the wisdom of a two year deal. Unless he’s on absolute peanuts. Like the sort of wage someone like Tavares and Rus are on.

I hope there is a probationary period in Bright's contract, as is normal for other jobs

He has certainly shown promise and what I like is he grafts and is pacey. He is now also scoring goals albeit in friendlies and u23s. I think he is definitely worth some sub appearances and take it from there.

If he isn’t making the squad when Godden and Walker aren’t available then it’s difficult to see him getting a chance in the near future

More the fact that he missed the first game because he was being punished for his antics at Wolves, then seemingly more antics at Barnsley. Three out of three at the very start hardly says “lad trying his best” does it?

How many times would you allow him to do it?

Not sure there were any antics at Barnsley
Think he reported the niggle after being subbed against Northampton

He was put in the U23s.

Jesus I hope some of you don’t manage your own finances the naivety you display.
