  • Roddy doesn’t look or move like an athlete. We can’t go into the season with him at left back. 
  • We need to sign another left back for sure. 
  • Would expect one of the loan slots to be a Left Back unless there's a deal to be done for Oglivie.

    The state of some of those replies. 
  • Who is Roddy? 
  • Roddy has only got game time due to the lack of LB options in the squad at the moment, I’m sure we’ll bring someone else in

    Who is Roddy? 
    https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/60e2c532e563d/academy-player-update-new-contracts-and-new-arrivals

    Young full back we signed in the summer.

    Striker Ryan Viggars, a Wales youth international, joins on a two-year contract from Sheffield United, while left back Jacob Roddy arrives from Bradfield College in Reading, where he is currently undergoing a scholarship.

    “Jacob came in on trial because there was a gap there as we’d released our left back. He’s previously been at Southampton academy up until he was 16 and in the last two years he took up a scholarship at Bradfield College near Reading, so that’s where he currently is, currently finishing his A Levels… which is a very good football school I might add. 

    “He came in on trial even as early as March initially... dislocated his shoulder in one of the trial games so then had to come back again a few weeks later before we made that decision. He is very quick, athletic which, in particular, impresses you, with good height as well, great energy to get up and down which I think is needed of a full back in the modern game, with a sweet left foot as well. So I’m really looking forward to taking Jacob forward as well.”

  • The weight of Davison’s ponytail cost him the half a yard of pace he needed to reach that cross
    Davison looks/reminds me of Lee Novak.
    He seems somewhat top heavy and weighty and yet Novak wasn't in reality and possibly nor is Davison.
    But they "seem" to lumber around.
    I'm just not "liking/feeling" Davison at all.
    This is heavily influenced by him looking not good enough for L2 FGR last season.

    He looks like the work experience kid. I have no idea why we brought him into the setup. Not good defensively or on the ball.

  • Who’s this Davidson people keep mentioning, is he the new Atkins 😉.

    Tbf I don't really see any bad replies? Just a few people being positive or asking can we sign a few players, no aggression or abuse..

    Goal of the season.

    TS said more players to arrive .. recruitment team working hard

    He's part of the young exciting squad that we were supposed to be building. 
  • I agree with Thomas - it was a very encouraging performance. I especially liked the combination of Dobson, Clare and Morgan in midfield. Sure, we need to bring in another CB because of the potential injury risk to Innis and Famewo (young Deji is very promising but not ready yet), a creative AM and another striker but I can see some of the youngsters playing a big part this season. Clayden is impressive. I can easily see him playing wide attacking either from the start or as an impact sub. Ghandour also has something about him.

    Let’s hope Purrington’s injury is nothing serious or he might be dangerously close to the squad in two weeks time.

    Where did he say that or was that the wish list you just sent him? 
  • Hope we use some of the youngsters in the Pizza trophy games, will be good for them, and good for Nigel to have a look at them.
  • Who is Roddy? 
    Son of Ged Roddy Technical Director.
  • Morgan had a good game and Washington worked his bollocks off , but not a great deal of quality on show first half . Enjoyed second half with our youngsters upping the tempo .

    Roddy speaking to the physio about his back there at the end.
    I don’t think Ged should be using our physios for his problems, they need to focus on the players.
    I’m surprised he didn’t use the reading one 
  • Impressed by Dobson and Clare, got stuck in but can play a bit

    Didn't think Roddy was as bad as some are saying but don't expect him to be first choice or even 2nd.  He's just finished his A Levels.

    Davison showed he has potential but championship centre halves aren't going to give him much.

    A decent run out and a good result.

    On to Fulham
    Hang about, I thought we forgot to get ourselves promoted last season!?
  • Thought our midfield 3 looked decent, that seems the most settled part of our squad, with hopefully Gilbey and Watson to get back soon, as we also have plenty of young options there as cover (Henry, Vennings, Dempsey)

    So far, I think Famewo has struggled a bit. I've been more impressed with Pearce really
