Really excited about this kid.
I've got a feeling he's going to play a big part in our season, especially in the new year.
The guy is a beast and he's one of those players that whenever he's on the ball you immediately look up because you expect something to happen.
I think he's got a manager in Beale who will let him develop and improve but who also won't be afraid to not hold him back
Plenty of defenders in this league are not going to fancy him coming up against them.
So glad Beale wants to give him a chance because we could have a really good one here.

At Wealdstone he looked very accomplished and definitely a first team player. Took me by surprise as all I heard previously was young , raw , needs time but a real handful , dropped deep linking the play and using the wing on both sides. The bicycle kick towards the end would have been the cherry đ on the cake.

As long as they break him in gently. Throwing him in and if if it didnât work out and some of the fans got on his back would be a terrible thing. I always remember when they through Furlong junior straight in, was tough to watch. Of course you have to start somewhere. The reports I listened to insinuated we would be getting a forward in as well as Armstrong being around the team .

The reports I listened to insinuated we would be getting a forward in as well as Armstrong being around the team . Yeah, pretty much agree with that. I think that a lot depends on Bonne. Right now, Dykes is the first choice striker, Bonne may not want to be second choice and may still want to depart for Ipswich. Ipswich probably only want him on the cheap though. But Bonne will not be allowed to leave unless a loan is secured. Sinclair is likely to be the third choice striker to whoever. He will probably get a decent run out against Charlton - probably starting. But as Bonne only has a year left on his contract - so with diminishing value to nothing next Summer, the future is Sinclair and so he has to be carefully nurtured with a few league cameos for now. When Beale talks about two potential strikers joining, I think one will be a pure loan, but the other will be either a lower league purchase, or another option to buy loan. It is all about building the sellable assets for the future. FFP means we cannot purchase them at the moment, so kicking the can down the road until we sell someone and can then spend. Beale said yesterday that there is interest in some of our players, I wonder if fringe or stars though. Be interested to see if Thomas and Bonne are played today, or whether they are both ofski.

I think personally Bonne will probably be off , just a hunch. Really I never rated him at this this Level ( seems happier at League one like C Washington was ) but signs he could be improving and could yet be forced to eat my words if he goes to another Championship teams and scores regularly. I see we was linked with a Centre back this week, letâs hope no truth in it and people are not after Dickie.

13 minutes didnât give them long enough. To be fair could have gave that team 130 minutes and they wouldnât have scored. They looked a bit devoid of ideas from midfield to attack.

We will struggle all year in the final third no matter what. Breadman said it every week and Beale said today we had no quality in final third. What does that say for all the forwards playing ? How do you get promoted with a bunch of average strikers. I just canât see it somehow.
