Ah good, I thought we'd bought him?
Let's send him back then, waste of space!

My apologies for misspelling “loan”. It’s an age problem.

I think his energy pace and determination he will make it but agree in the short term he is just not good enough.

I only listened on the radio but Jason Perry said he was being held and manhandled. If you’re going to play like that you either need to bully back or play smarter.

I thought the ref looked at Cardiff v Preston and thought that is a power football game, let the big boys play and he did. Our centre halfs against their front line was a pure muscle contest and not a murmur from any of the protagonists.

If Etete is not a target man then what is he? Ugbo is a finisher, not particularly quick or strong, although not weak or slow but ice cold in front of the goal. Colwill, Turnbull or Rambo will need runners to pass to and i think our best wide forward is in Belgium

In recent seasons we have been blessed with a number of truly forgettable forwards who are simply not up to the job, Moore being an exception.

The pattern of our strikers over the last twelve years or so has been one of being isolated, backs to the goal, more intent on trying to win free-kicks than getting control of the ball, and fatigued looking.
