🎶 Makhtar Gueye, you should’ve stayed at home yesterday.

Ah-ha, just can’t describe, the feeling when that header went wide 🎶 (ok, it went over, but that doesn’t rhyme as well).

With apologies to Andy McCluskey.

No apologies necessary. Made me laugh out loud!

Jack Vale or Gueye?

I know which one I have seen contribute more to the team but we desperately need Chile to give him a call unless Leonard steps up or we sign someone else come January (or the summer if we are close enough to 50 points by January)

Send him some Chile Con Carne, that might do the trick.

The thing with Brown is in his day, he was a competent Championship striker. He turned up here with his knees knackered and he spent most of his time injured. Gueye is coming into his supposed prime.

Was he?

His best ever Championship season was a small sample 5 goals in 17 games for PNE. Apart from that, his best season was the one before he joined us, where he got 9 in 40 for Doncaster in this league. So unless he got his knees knackered pretty much right at the end of that season, the suggestion he was finished makes no sense, he was basically at his peak.

All his other seasons in this league, he never scored more than 6, which he did twice, in 30 games and in 43 games. Those are 1 in 5 and less than 1 in 7.16 ratios respectively. For a striker. And those were some of his best ever seasons. He spent most of his career in the Championship, and scored 5 or more goals in just 5 seasons. All the others he scored 3 or less. So I think the claim he was a competent Championship striker is also generous. If he played up top here with those numbers, we'd have said he was shit, get rid.
