    He fits that 'in the box' kind of goalscorer type that Stuart was looking for.

    Always thought he had something about him but didn't get a run of games.

    Not that brief. He played for them 40 times in the 2018-19 season! Granted they only had him for a handful of games last season but he is well thought of there and I think they'd be keen on taking him back.

    We could do a lot worse, wasn’t used well last time here imo. I remember his debut against Gillingham at their gaff, beat the lad for pace and drew a red card when he looked certain to score the winner. Also scored a very good goal against Southend, finished like someone who knows where the net is.

    I liked his energy and attitude, pest of a striker and decent in front of goal - I’d take him as well!

    Yes, was also thinking about that. Came on and looked lively and a threat but I'm not sure we played to his strengths when he did get a chance.

    Is he not still contracted to Reading?

    Cannot imagine being able to tempt him here.

    Reading going through some restructure not sure if covid related or not. Bowen Ex-manager who i thought did a steady job has walked out as he didn’t like his new role in it.
    Maybe we can persuade them to loan him here with a contribution to wages?
    Mind you wit no manager I’m not sure if we would get a decision soon

    edit - appears they do have a manager. A random Serbian I think. Maybe he’s not a mcnulty fan and some movement

    He’s partial to a loan-move or two.

    If they are not given a squad number do they count towards the salary cap

    Also, where's the team news? Normally there's talk about who is in contention, who is out with a knock etc etc a few days before the game. Very strange to me - no squad numbers, no team news. Who is captain this year - has that been announced? It's almost as if we're going to turn up on Saturday with jumpers for goalposts and asking who is playing colours and who is skins.

    Absolutely no chance on McNulty. Come on!

    If he is made available plenty of suitors in the Championship and League One. Coventry have made enquiries.

    According to Parker, Zeli has played more minutes than anyone in pre season so I'm guessing he's a starter. Other than that, I can't help you.

    I agree. I think it's time to stop looking up, and start looking down in terms of signings. Take a punt on a lower league player. Won't cost much and we've tried it so many times, we're due a diamond to unearth! Just as long as they are over 5 foot 4 and not German.

    Re T&A piece..So with all game time behind closed doors, clocking the upcoming opposition is down to just video clips. When will we stop worrying about others' setups and concentrate on our own beliefs in what we are doing to beat them. They are the ones that should be worrying about us! As we can only play within our budget and to the best of our abilities..let's concentrate on just that.With our squad I do not see us getting our best performances out of worrying about competing strategies. Let's cut the uncertainty and get on with positivity.
