Glad we haven't gone down that route and that the people making decisions at SAFC are sticking to their guns.

I don’t think he makes it as a regular PL striker. Nice player but he’s never gonna dominate.
Agreed. The big thing for me, though, is the realisation that the fanbase’s idea of what a ‘proven’ striker would give us is not necessarily related to reality. It’s about a warm feeling more than it’s actually about production. The idea in peoples heads is consistent goals from the off. The reality is that two goals by January can still end in a season where people say ‘that’s what proven gets you’
Interesting. It's saying that we as fans don't feel right if we take the field without a recognised,league ready goalscorer in the line up. However,if we get the best from the players we have,our exciting attacking play may mean we get goals from all over the pitch....thus,we don't need an out and out front man.
As ever, stuff like transfers, ambition, experience, provenance isn’t the thing we need. They may be a means to an end, they may be our best bet, but the thing that we actually want is points.
Think Isidor and Watson would be ahead of him to be honest.
Three good options as far as I'm concerned.
It's really refreshing that we seem more balanced this season, Mayenda may not have scored last game but he still occupied the centre halves which frees up the likes of Mundle and Roberts. Same as when Rusyn comes on. Excited to see Wilson and the new kid Abdullali when he has settled in.
Long way to go but I don't see why we can't finish top 6 this season.
I know it’s hard to judge In u23 games but whenever they’ve both played watson looks miles ahead of jewi the stats back that up too
Watson looks quality, I reckon he'll end up playing more centrally as his career progresses

Very different players to be fair. Tommys a right footer on the left isn't he? Jewi an old school winger, down the byline and whip one in, though I think they've tried to change this and add things to his game.
I think some are forgetting the comments RLB made about Mayenda being the surprise package during pre season, a CF. Then Wilson comes in as well as a promising young striker with a great youth record. I’d be disappointed with the play offs now, I’m fully expecting automatic promotion.

Yeah fair point, I do like jewi he’s so direct so does give a different option to all of our other wingers
Woah woah woah. Autos would be an outstanding season but we’re still a club with at absolute best the 5th biggest budget in the league. I’m trying to remind myself that if we’re in the top ten by end of January we’re fairly well placed to put a run together to get top 6
I think promotion gets them a par. But as we know, being in second place in the run-in can quickly turn into a playoff spot - and then all bets are off
To be fair mate the top 6 would be outstanding but I like getting carried away.Woah woah woah.
