He has the attributes to play anywhere in the middle I think, but I don't think he has the experience or tactical knowledge to be the main DM. He is much better carrying the ball forward where he can take a few more risks without it being as dangerous as if he's just in front of the defence. With Hourihane and Bird alongside him, then he was expected to play a bit deeper and do the dirty work, but his inexperience and tendency to overplay the ball backfired a couple of times in dangerous positions. With Adams being the main sheilder and maybe a Thompson/Fornah combo in front then I think there's a good mix of tackling, passing and ball carrying options to build on. Of course, if the opportunity arises to get in players to improve the midfield then we need to do that.

If Thompson can get back to his pre-season form before the end of the season then I think he will link up well with Adams and maybe bring in one more experienced midfielder to bring it all together. I still think Fornah is a decent player, just needs a run of games to let him settle.

If they decide to allow the transfer then it stinks of EFL corruption when we weren't allowed to sign Kieftenbeld after he signed the wrong box. How's that for a conspiracy? Amidoingitright?

Some of you fan boys need to calm down with these dirty thoughts...

He was born in Greenwich, not sure how much of worn torn Gambia he has ever seen 😉 Agree on leaving behind Cardiff though

Ogwuru (Norwich) and O'Mahony (Brighton)?

He said he thinks it's a new name. Fraser is just one that has come up, but not as often as others like Smith, Gregory, Clarke-Harris etc. Anyway, although he has a good goal involvement to minutes ratio at Wolves, I'm not sure an 18 year old rookie will be what we need right now.

Nathan Fraser?

I suggested he was possibly the player Warne had seen the other week that we were all trying to guess. Seems like a good option at the moment, tall and powerful for his age, knows where the goal is too.

So he'll be alright for 3 of the 4 months we have left this season? 😉

I would think the striker from a premier league club we’re waiting for might be Divin Mubama. West Ham are short on strikers, but he needs some proper game time that they can’t currently offer him.

Pollock rumour???

I can't seem to find the article where it named the designer that I read a few years back, but he was working for a local agency and was a Leeds fan... probably the reason he doesn't have a statue 😉

There you go. It’s because we’re also announcing a new sleeve sponsor. There’s your reason for delay

Can’t Be True

There's pictures leaked of him in a derby kit having his press photos taken. I'm pretty sure the fee and medical would've been sorted before that. This is just a PR delay for whatever reason, could be at the request of Charlton or our own timeline.

Looking at other fixtures I can't see anyone else fitting the bill. There had been a media link to us being interested in Olakigbe, so perhaps Warne was told he'd be involved, but due to how the match was going (Brentford defending a narrow lead for most of the match( he wasn't brought on until a little later when they needed a different attacking option. The forward was recommended, Warne didn't say it was someone we were actively interested in. Fraser is a 6'2 striker with 2 goals in 107 first team minutes for Wolves. Possibly the sort of player that an agent or scout would recommend to us.

Sounds like it could've been Wolves v Brentford. Olakigbe the wide player for Brentford and maybe Fraser the Wolves forward?

Who cares about Keogh, tell us more about the exciting "season ticket refund waiver day" sounds like fun family day out!

I see what you did there. How KTI are you though? 🙂

I was quoting from the poster before me 🙂 I'm happy with the quality of both keepers, but I laughed at the thought that the other teams were seemingly being able to take shots that no keeper could save.

That's the problem. The other teams need to stop taking unsavable shots at our goal... 😉

Nice play from Fornah in the build up to the first goal. Would love him to find some form and show what he can do in the first team.

Double hatty incoming for Brown?
