Possibly because Sam Bowen is a local lad and the son of a former player who is well-regarded by fans of a certain age and he didn't look out of place in any of his five appearances for City's first team.Quote:

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Adams play. I'd genuinely never heard of him until Des Parrot mentioned him last night. His disciplinary record would suggest he's a player who likes to put himself about and the Forest Green fans speak highly of him, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs in the Championship.
i wonder if we can get him to have a word or two with Kane Wilson and get him to join as well.
we need a RWB, he's available on a free and Bristol and Forest are sniffing around.
God do we need a decent midfielder ,fingers crossed along with Wintle we now have two.
I don’t understand, he would have been my first signing, he’s exactly what we need, the star of FGR and the League 2 player of the year.Quote:

Just pointing out, that he’s not that young, 26 actually.Quote:

Very good:thumbup:
Perhaps their form coincided with Watford getting inside Rob Edward's head a month or two ago.Quote:

From what I saw of Adams in the recent 1-3 home loss to Harrogate, he was very assured in possession and was instrumental in any good moves that day. The rest of the team certainly had an off-day in a game, that on paper, they should have won at a canter.
Which would have been when Ebou was away with Gambia in the ACON I believe.Quote:

Not just him. Several people do it to the point where some threads are 50% copied off here.Quote:

Yes, seems one of the better bets for somebody that could step up. Good job and good luck to him. Especially as can we assume/hope that he hasn't been offered the "standard" 4 year contract at some huge salary of the past.Quote:

Also, I have to ask what's all this "that's all she wrote" transatlantic crap around Cardiff City these days? The club's media team use it all of the time in commentaries and it's the second time it's appeared in a Glen Williams piece on Wales Online - it needs to stop now!
I'd never heard that phrase before. I had to look up the meaning and it is a total waste of words/air. WO must pay their staff by the word and it's a way of padding out paper thin articles.
It was the move to Forest Green that proved the catalyst. "I cannot even call it a team because it feels more like a family. We are like brothers." Promotion now looks likely. "I don't want to say too much but I am enjoying how we have started."
Adams has been integral.
"I would class myself as a box-to-box player. I am a player full of energy. I just love being involved in the game, whether it is defensive work or attacking work. I just love being in and around the game, getting in the box, making crunching tackles."
Sounds alright to me. Seems the right type of player to have around the team
When he scores it would be quite apt to sing the refrain at 1 min 5 secs on this Malcolm Mclaren video (and tweaking the words to 'Ebou nets!')Quote:
