Ex Player Alex Rodriguez Gorrin

[nige01ox]

If you Google him, he's 1.78m tall...apparently [emoji1787]

I think they need a new tape measure! This website has him as 1.63m which seems somewhat more accurate. And makes him 2cm shorter than Jack Payne.

Will be interesting how we start to fit these players into our midfield.

I enjoyed Kelly dropping back between the CBs allowing Brannagan (and at the time, Sykes) to get forward.

The challenge will be getting those three, plus Gorrin into the team. Gorrin is integral for us so i can't see him being dropped. Brannagan is one of the best midfielders in the league - his link up with Holland on the left is starting to develop too. That leaves on space for Kelly or Sykes...obviously we can rotate dependant on opposition, but Kelly's ability to make line breaking passes and keep the ball moving is a huge asset to us. Add in the set piece quality and within a few games we could see him play the full 90.

KR is blessed with quality in midfield - he now has a challenge to fit them all in

It wouldn't surprise me to see Sykes rotated between the right wing and midfield and then Browne used up top (opposition dependent). I don't think Blackpool was a one off

He's the new Jake Wright.

Mate of mine who came last night suggested he looked more like a butcher than a footballer.

Well he did make some cutting passes.

Nothing offal about his performance, that's for sure.

I thought he really put a ‘steak’ in the ground with that performance....

Meat ooh

Indeed, the only way is to play Sykes on the right of the front three, Gorrin holding with Brannagan and Kelly in front of him.

Edit: Add Henry and Thorne to the conundrum.. and that is just the midfield!

Shame a multi-million £ bid didn't come in for a midfielder during the transfer window.

Alex Macdonald and Joey Beauchamp's lovechild, surely?

Brilliant

Absolutely cleaved the ball cleanly into the net from that FK last night

If there's a space in our midfield, do you think he could fillet? Or is he for the chop?

Can’t be bothered to mince my words here, but I think we’d have a good chance of signing him if he’s from Reading. Maybe Baptiste won’t be such a loss. Must admit I thought we’d never see Kelly, or that he’d be injured straight away.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Kelly can net free-kicks from both sides:

When he does get back to playing week in week out he’ll be fitter than a butchers dog.

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Do you think he’s got any spare ribs he can pass onto Forde

 

[headingtonoldboy]

Now there is a space in midfield, maybe he can fillet.

If you wanted something original, you could've said "our season may liver die on his set piece delivery"

Or.........no, I'm done....but only medium-rare, mind[emoji3052]

You'll get hung out to dry for that.

Must admit I read that as 'page 47 of this thread' - and assumed we'd opened the "summer transfers 2020" thread 2 days ago.
