    Good luck to the lad. That’s a cracking move for him. I bet he can’t believe his luck!

    Lot's of weird new terminology, like how numbers are used, seem to be common these days.

    I've seen an argument where CF "centre forward" is being distinguished from striker or number 9.

    Centre forward now means most advanced of the forward players, but not number 9, so what we used to call an attacking midfielder. Too much too young these bairns.

    I'll never get all the jibes against Hemir or other young foreign players for that matter, he's only 21 and was a massive challenge coming over to a different country and settling.

    Hasn't worked out here (yet) and wish nothing but good luck to the lad wherever he is next season.

    It was out of order for Mowbray to publicly criticise foreign players because he couldn't communicate with them ...

    ... there are people south of Watford who don't understand a word he's saying <laugh>

    Aye, due to fluidity of systems.

    Massive difference between a CF and a striker.

    That's because they're French.

    Being top of the Championship, after putting in the performances we've seen already this season,is not mediocrity marra. I am quite happy to watch us deliver like we have done week in and week out,and just see where it takes us. I just love us playing this exciting football.

    I’m fully into squeaky bum time now. No solid striker links.

    CF can be a false 9 or the point of a 3. And attacking midfielder is a CAM or a 10

    There was zero link to Mepham. Next thing we know he’s travelling here for a medical

    Im hoping that’s the same for a senior striker.

    I only ever call it a CF because everybody seems to call it that now
