It’s always best to give people a chance before writing them off as “fucking wank” etc Still there’s always the “ pleased I'm proved wrong” fallback They never learn. The worst ones lurk until the player in question has a dip in form. Then they lord it.

Like a lot, I was underwhelmed at the signing. However, fucking hell what a signing! I'm really pleased so far.
Great player, i like the stuff he attempts, even if it doesn't always come off.
The barnet. Could be better, but it's not the ubiquitous non-entity of a cut we see across the board with all footballers now, so if he wants to go down the weathered 'game of thrones' vibe, i'll back him on that, just for being different. I can't stand how everyone wants to look so beige these days, drives me mad.

Anyone else hear MON post match interview? I get the impression MON wasn’t impressed with his Rabona against Preston and has let Fletcher know.

I don't care about his Barnet, he could have a Pink Perm, so long as he puts the ball in the net.

One of the best signings we've made in a good while, looks a class above Vokes and Gregory, long may it continue.
I do keep having Frank Worthington flashbacks tho.

Especially when he comes back in to replace Collins at left CB Why? Playing Fox there makes more sense than playing Collins there. I agree but think it might put Collins back on the bench. Think MON wants at least one experienced CB in the three. Hopefully as the season progresses he will have confidence in Collins and Souttar as a pair. I would like to see them together in a back four with Smith and Fox as fullbacks. Don't think he will ditch back 3 yet though so best we can hope for is Collins, Souttar and Fox.

You have to play a left footer on the left of the 3 imo so Fox has to play there if we do it. That back 3 at the end of your post is the best one we have by some distance too imo. I think a back 4 would suit everyone more though.

I predicted you’d all think he’s fantastic.
So here’s the next prediction - he’ll become so integral to your play that you might risk over using him. We did.
With him we were very good.. Without him we were dire. So our managers almost never left him out and usually gave him 90 minutes. They also played him in LC and FAC games - killed him. And as a consequence he missed very large chunks of the season.
If MON is smart, and uses him wisely, you’ve a striker that could take you very close to the top. We flogged him like a horse and when he missed months on end we sank like a very heavy stone.
Hope he picks up a sniffle or tiny knock and misses our game v you in a few weeks. Other than that, best wishes to you.

I think a back 4 would suit everyone more though. I’d much prefer a back for too. But we still really don’t have a decent left back, except possibly Tymon. That then leaves the question of what formation we would play in front of them: 4-3-3 Smith Batth Sutar Tymon Powell Mikkel Clucas Campbell Fletcher Brown 4-2-3-1 Smith Batth Sutar Tymon Mikkel Clucas Oakley-Booth Powell Brown Fletcher 4-4-2 Smith Batth Sutar Tymon Oakley-Booth Powell Mikkel Clucas Campbell Fletcher some of the players will have to be rotated for rest and/or injuries. what do you think? Edit replace fox with Smith. Brain fart

I'm sure I gave him a pound for a cup of tea a few weeks ago Wasn't the most overwhelming of signings but looking the part (on the pitch)
