Thought he showed promise when he played with the first team - albeit briefly. Can’t remember if this was cup or friendly though.

My assessment: We tried to ‘out-football’ Stoke, and we did, for a bit. But football often needs fight too and we were outfought, unlike at Sheff Utd. This got them back in the game and gave them confidence. We will learn from it. I was gutted to see Crooks not in the first XI, but that has...

I’m going to guess…no.

You should check the Stoke forum! <laugh>

He was. I’m shocked to see he’s at Gillingham. I honestly thought would play regularly at a higher level.

That escalated quickly.

Maybe, maybe not. We have to be selfish in this respect as like I say, we are probably going to get more injuries. I do think he is better than the game time he has been given so far this season, for what it’s worth.

Do you guys really think we should loan out Burstow? For me, he has rarely been tried in his natural position and has shown technical quality and the ability to finish. It only takes an injury to one of our strikers and we would be light up top again. For those who think it would be good for...

Likely going to be some truth in this to be fair. Bad pitch and of course later in the season, when we are going to need the squad. Still pleased we got rid of Giles though. :bandit:

I really hope it is true that L**ds wanted Louie Barry and failed trying to persuade him at the last second. And then they go on to fail getting promotion, after bottling it as usual in the second half of the season. And we go on a great run and finish in a respectable position, which causes...

Beats “HULL CITY PLAYER came on in the 87th minute in the 2-1 defeat to…”

Josh King was rapid when we had him on loan. I always remember him once leaving players for dead when he ran from defence to attack. I think it was his first game for us (or at least at the KC) and I remember thinking he was the fastest player I’d ever seen. Admittedly, he could have just had...

Fantastic news.

Sheff Utd, like most teams in this division, are a tall side. The question for me is, do we play the big lads and battle it out or the midget footballing wizards?
