I doubt it if any one under fifty has a clue what you’re talking about, but a good one :thumbup:

Tanner scored again today. Has to at least be on the bench for the first game, maybe even start.

First game in Portugal?

I’d hope the squad is a lot better come the start of the season, hopefully he gets a decent loan and gets some games at league 2 level.

Would love Karl Elsey to still be with us just to hear their names read out simultaneously before the match.

At 47 I got the joke but never heard of Karl Elsey.

Re: Tanner - looking bright. A sporting chance?

I'm not sure to this day why we basically swopped Lindon Jones for him as Jones was the better player. I also loved John Lewis and Tarki Micallef, but Nigel Vaughan was better than them all.

With regard to Tanner, the Grealish comparison is a fair one. He has great ball control and is surprisingly strong. However, he is poor on the press and I'm going to disagree with Jon a little and say that he probably is not quick enough for Championship level. Hope I'm wrong though as he looks a lot fitter than last year and has lost a bit of weight (as has Rubin Colwill). With O'Dowda, Meite and Ojo also in the squad, there is a fair bit of competition for the left wing berth.

That swap deal was when I first started going to games with my Dad. John Lewis and Lindon Jones were good players. Karl Elsey was crap.
