morty 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Haven''t seen another thread, and maybe the event got a bit lost amongst the win and Cam''s great goal, but congrats to him on making his Championship debut.Heres to another young player, that we paid buttons for establishing himself in the team.The futures bright!

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted January 29, 2017 I''ve heard good reports of him and hopefully he can provide cover for Tettey who''s not getting any younger. When''s Dorrans back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When''s Dorrans back?[/quote]Few times i have seen him play he is very tidy and solid, I''m hoping / thinking theres a lot more to come from him.I don''t think Dorrans is anywhere near, sure I have seen figures of at least 6 or 8 weeks away.

Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted January 29, 2017 If Godfrey can prove himself then he can stay in the middle and Dorrans can slot into the Brady role no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South_Stand_Canary 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Thought Tettey played well yesterday but pleased to see Godfrey on as well. A fantastic prospect for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted January 29, 2017 He''s a big strong lad, was surprised how powerful he looked for a young lad when I saw him warming up. Pleased that Alex got him on, although from his interview it sounded as if he had no choice but to take Alex off as he was unwell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have liked to have seen Maddison play a role yesterday but I''m not surprised that he wasn''t even on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chemical Bro 0 Posted January 29, 2017 What are people thinking his best position is? Looks like the build of a CM for me but I''m sure AN has said he doesn''t see it his best position. Seen him play RB a few times.Definitely looks a prospect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alfie54 76 Posted January 29, 2017 Really like what I''ve seen of him, I hope he now is close to more starts. Like to see him and Howson together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted January 29, 2017 Are the phrases "Stomach bug doing the rounds at Colney" and "Colney facilities putting prospective signings off" connected in any way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted January 30, 2017 I heard that he is being lined up as a CB. That''s fine as a modern CB needs to be able to play out as well as block.Either way it is good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
