I think he just needs games to prove himself, ideally at a team in our league. A Ponticelli-style loan till January, then re-assess

One thing that will be interesting to see, regardless of formation, is how well Kastaneer/Jobello track back and show defensive discipline. Thomas was excellent at it last year and that discipline is not generally as well regarded in the foreign lower leagues, they don't place the same amount of...

The volunteer thing I agree with, although your 2nd point is a little lazy. Age group cricket leagues and training are (generally) deliberately run from April to start of July to account for people being away during school summer holidays. There are many cricket camps run outside of this period...

Yeah, when he did play up front on his own last season it was very much back to goal with balls lumped up to him that he had no chance of winning - Luton away springs to mind when Baka went off injured after 25 mins. Running at goal with interchanges between that fluid front 4 and he'd be very...

Unrelated, but Kevin Pietersen was at my club on Saturday watching his son play in the morning before our game started. His son is already very, very good aged 9 - 36* off 17 balls

Agree, I've been playing league cricket for years and clubs are absolutely desperate for more numbers and increased player pool. It's very easy to join a cricket club and certainly everyone at mine would welcome new players. Javid is an arrogant wanker with no idea about grassroots sport

Yeah he has tendonitis, which flares up every now and again hence having to miss a few random games

Hiwula what a boring geez!

Agreed. I'd be really disappointed if this was true

Just thought I'd bump this after today :)

Saw Chris Coleman in a pub in Surrey boozing with Geoff Shreeves and Steve Kean around 10 years ago (after he'd been sacked)

I’m not interested.

He is indeed, expires June 2020

It's tricky because Dabo has obviously been brought in as first choice so if you sign another out and out RB you risk ending up with a Grimmer situation - hence the signing of young Pask who can cover there and other positions in the back 4. I think Wakefield has also played there before so can...

Chaplin shhhhing the Sunderland fans after his winner (a)

Was JCH actually a problem while here? Remember an interview with Farndon where he said all the tatts and 'bad boy' image was a bit of a front and underneath all that he's a nice lad?

Playing Devils Advocate - if Willis did sign a new deal here, who do you reckon would be starting CBs out of him, Hyam and Fadz?

Can he step across and fill in at RB? Wonder if he's been brought in as 4th choice CB (assuming Willis is off) and RB cover to save us loaning or buying another out and out RB to compete with Dabo?
