Bloody hell - no-one predicted that!

 

[sedgleyimp]

Well I suppose if you are looking for a free agent might as well be one who knows the system and coach. Playing for a contract extension post January could bring the best out of him

 

[Binghamimp]

Would have preferred Lyle Taylor

 

[Luke Imp]

Would have preferred Lyle Taylor

Likewise Jesse Lingard, but we're a L1 side.

 

[bristolimp]

Would have preferred Lyle Taylor

thing is he has hardly played

the comment about Shodipo being ready for tomorrow must mean he was training with someone

 

[PortMacImp]

We needed reinforcements and Mide is familiar with the club and the systems of play, so hopefully will settle in quickly.

 

[Luke Imp]

Smart move. Knows the manager and club, only a short term deal initially and it's a much needed additional attacking option to the squad.

Means we get our CM cover back by not having to play Bishop or Smith in wide areas so it helps in that respect as well.

Worth it for the song alone

Probably a sensible option given what is available.
Whilst in the summer he certainly wasn’t on my wants list for us, if say we had signed him in the summer I wouldn’t have been devastated.

And we get to sing....

Also cover for Reeco's International date next week

 

[hulloutpost]

He was reportedly training with Reading pre season. He's not a striker so working on the presumption that Bishop is out for another lengthy spell.

I think it probably means we can move Hackett into the middle, play Shodipo and Mandriou wide up front and relegate Adelekun to the bench or move him on...

That’s a bit harsh in the chap he had been lively. I think we are so short of players we need both!

I've not been that impressed to be honest, runs around quite a bit, I think I've seen him put his foot in only once since his return (the sliding block at Sincil Bank in his first game back, it was a good job I was sitting down!) but in terms of actually closing down opposition and harassing them from the front I've seen very, very little in the games I've watched.

Thats very harsh on Adelekun who has put a shift in every game with no lack of skill

Well you could have said that last season but it didn’t, unless that was the best of him. Hasn’t played a game since April and couldn’t find a club since 31st August, Christ alive I can hardly wait for kick off
