  1. That was a bad night for me personally. On the way out the ground i stepped into a huge pothole outside the ground. I have bad knees so I fell and was in unbearable pain. I couldn't stand up for 20 minutes. Some nice man came to my aid though
  2. Should have made a move for that Chelsea striker broja I think he's called ages ago. He's off to Southampton on loan now
  3. Which one of u put this on the saints forum? Own up Greetings. Thought I'd look at your opinion of the Armstrong signing and then decided to sign up to give my view. Arma is quick enough. Not the quickest player you'll ever have seen but quick enough. If he get's clear of the defence he isn't getting caught. We had him in league one (on loan) and then brought him in permanently once we got promoted. He played the first two seasons as a wide attacker to allow us to play Danny Graham down the middle with Dack playing off him. He was OK in this role but certainly not a premier league player. Gradually over the last two seasons he has been moved to play up top (generally on his own but with 'wide forwards' supporting him including Sam Gallagher which really doesn't work). In 2019/20 he scored 16 league goals (although he wasn't always starting up front) and then last season he scored 28 when he played every game as an out an out striker. He's got a powerful shot on him for a little guy and can score his fair share of goals from outside the area. He also has a nack of being in the right place at the right time in the box. I know you've checked out his goals from last season, but his 2019/20 probably look a better selection of goals - see Youtube video here. His weaknesses? He can go missing in games, especially if you are not creating much. Also his finishing isn't the most clinical. It's a testament to how often he gets the ball in good positions by how many times you think "he should have scored that one". Bear in mind we aren't the most creative side. Towards the second half of last season he also shot from distance A LOT - often when there were much better options on. By that point our season was practically dead so whether he was just trying to be the Championship top scorer, or make himself look good on Youtube videos I don't know but it became a bit frustrating. He also isn't tricky, tending to go past defenders by knocking it past them and sprinting after it. Obviously next season will be a different calibre of defender. Rovers fans are pretty split whether he will make the jump up, or if he's just a very good Championship striker. Having watched Ing's career since his Burnley days, I don't think he's going to be as good as Ings, but could still be improving. He's also fairly level headed too. Good luck to him.

  4. Was pissed off when we didn't sign him permanently but we got a second rate player in tugay instead
  5. I read somewhere they are not interested in loaning him out again
  6. Hes a one hit wonder in terms of producing a goal tally worthy of an epl club taking a risk on him. If he hits another 25 or 30 goals this season its a different story
  7. Nobody will risk 15 million never mind 20 million on an unproven 1 hit wonder (so far) when they look at how out of his depth mcburney was last season when Sheffield utd splashed out 20 million
  8. I don't think he is a ***t.........hes a gormless supercilious conniving complete and utter ***t. Hope i didn't mince my words
  9. Mentions journey again. Nobhead. Then uses any excuse not to push the club on 'I sympathise with the owners. Not spending money bla bla " in other words absolve himself of any need to show ambition because he hasn't got it in him to push the team on. Absolutely despise him
  10. Stay clear of the let comments page. I needed a sick bucket. Definition of deluded
  11. Flabagasted at the tripe written on the let comments page regarding transfers. Some of these people have their heads up their arses.
  12. I remember when kean was sacked. There was a huge rush for last minute season tickets. I was one of them. All it takes is the right appointment to have a few thousand return. Or maybe its past that point compared to 9 years ago
  13. Ings is 28. Armstrong 24. Hardly a big gap in age. Plus ings is a proven scorer
  14. Why would he go to Norwich? They'll more than likely end up back in the championship. Plus he'll likely get very little service. Surely he would aim for higher
