I've probably mentioned this before but when I was a teenager Stevie Kirk used to come into our local chippie at lunch time and get a big bag of fritters! Obviously on his way home from training. Dunno if Tommy knew! 🤣

Good point. With a fit McGinn, SOD, Koutroumbis & McGhee, we probably dont really need another CB. But right now with all 4 injured, we definitely do. Hopefully we can get another midfielder and a striker in soon.....

I think the injuries will be a reason we have got a few loanees in.

Good to see Jamie coming in, looks a good addition but tbh I’m disappointed that we appear to be going down the loan route, destroys our operating model a bit. Thats our goalkeeper n new CH on loan, I’d have thought we would have been looking for those unearthed gems. Hoping to see a new attacking midfielder n a striker or two being rolled out very soon, perhaps Mas staying with us?

Eythor, if he is injured and all the forum speculation to the contrary is just that, deserves time once the season properly gets underway. He looks like the type of player who could do well in AJ’s system.

Are we only signing players with double-barreled surnames? Magic.......cant wait to get Ben Gannon-doak on loan 🤣🤣

Aye looks like he signed a new 3yr deal with Bristol in April. Has 60 senior appearances under his belt though for Crewe and Swindon. Certainly fits our demographic apart from the loan bit.

I would think he has every right to look pissed off if he was injured and then not up to speed for the teams first European game. Surely he would be in the squad if fit. Lots of supossing going on here I think.

Were you staring at him for 90 .minutes?

I thought thor looked ok , hes not a proper run yet...no basis at all to say whether AJ fancies him or not.

He's a Canadian centre back.

???

Jamie Knight-Lebel... Apparently If true would imagine its just a loan

I've no idea really but he looked pretty cheesed off sitting in the POD and the manager hasn't mentioned looking forward to his return, especially when the alternatives we have aren't very inspiring. Hope I'm wrong and he'll be unleashed as our new secret weapon but it was just a feeling I had. He should certainly enjoy our increase in crosses into the box.

I have nothing to go on but why do you think the new manager has no confidence in Thor? Obviously he hasn’t played because he is injured do you think there are other reasons?

I'm sure the manager knows where we lack and what we need.

I’m not big on stats but purely on the genk and HB games, we flung in more crosses into the box in those two games than we did for half of last season. I’d have thought big Thor would be perfect for this type of stuff.

When he played only a couple of games at the start he set up a couple and scored one , if I recall correctly. He is exactly what we need now to complete moves in the box for a big guy he looked quite mobile. On the injury front was he injured at all for his previous team .

Great back up to have though. As long as he can still move after his injury.

I have grave doubts if we'll see much more of Paul McGinn unfortunately. By the time he recovers we'll have an established pair of younger first pick centre backs. A shame.

Welcome to my world 🤪🤪

I had hopes that Thor would be an asset but he seems injury-prone and I'm not sure our new manager has confidence in him. He was a strange choice anyway because Askou was not a simple "sling into the box for the big guy" kind of manager.

It’s a centre-forward we need.

Harsh but fair.....

Thought this would be of interest
