    Is he match fit? Please God let that at least be the bottom line with our squad of semi-fit players.
    He's physically fit but not match fit .I don’t expect him to start above Leaburn or Kelman on saturday anyway.
    Makes a change for one of our signings.

    Have patience mate, he's got a great goals per game ratio.

    He provides depth in a position we need depth in. He has Championship experience. He's not going to expect to ball to feet or to play tiki taka. How good his pressing is remains to be seen. He always felt an odd fit at Brum given the difference in styles, but he was very much their Plan B.

    I think he could turn into a real fan favorite. I doubt he'll score loads but even a couple of key late goals could be massive for our season. He looks and plays like a hard bastard. He'll do for me.

    Picking 99 is such an odd move.
    Surely, everyone likes a 99?

    I am getting Cult Hero vibes from this one.
    A last minute winner at the Den may help.

    They're OK but personally I prefer a 69  :p

    Charlton fans doing what Charlton fans do . Writing the guy off before he has kicked a ball .
