Raw!

Get ball work the keeper and repeat |  |

Raw talent, I’d like to see who else we bring in this window before making my mind up, heart says keep him in and around first team but the sensible option would be a season loan playing regularly. Eze and Chair benefited massively from this.
Did enjoy his performance, slight erratic style to his play that could confuse and scare a lot of championship defences. |  |

Loved that, strong, quick, confident, raw as anything but still! Mick Beale said in the interview with Clive that him, Gubbins and Jude-Boyd are staying with the first team for the time being so not expecting a loan before the season starts. Maybe Kelman more likely out |  |

Keep around. 5 subs this season will allow him to have a good number of sub appearances to get the experience he needs. | | | |

Simple formula but bloody useful. Many strikers have tried to overcomplicate things and been less effective. Sounds like he's got the right idea. |  |

Have literally never seen him play including tonight as I have been otherwise engaged.
Picked only once by MW as I recall for a sub in the FA Cup game against Rotherham. He was unused, despite us looking like losing this game to then lower league opponents for a long period in the second half.
As a product of or youth set-up, is it possible that MW did not use him to make a point.
Perhaps this thread is for posters who were massive MW fans, rather than me who was always a sceptic.
Really looking forward to actually seeing this guy play. Hopefully against the Palace on Saturday. |  | | |

It was a performance with great promise but remember the opposition wasn't good. That made him look better than he would against Championship sides.
As mentioned on the match thread, a decent loan out and back to us in January might be a good plan. |  | | |

And it was with the 11 who are less likely to start so will be interesting to see how he blends in with the first choice players |  |

Get all the opposition was poor etc etc dont over hype, but my opinion is that it reminded me of the first time I saw Eze play you can just tell he is on another level.
I think, if he stays injury free and has a good head on his shoulders and progresses we get two seasons before he is top flight for big big money. Like watching a young Lukaku. Pace power and a bucket load of skill. Would be a waste to loan him out IMHO, especially as you can see he can play 9 or 10 |  | | |

I did not realise he was so tall.
Chip over goalie and overhead kick, unfortunate neither went in !!
Full of intent and certainly frightened their defenders...
Lot of energy and running at defenders
Is he 18
Bench player if no more incoming perhaps
Well done though
Liked the potential [Post edited 20 Jul 2022 23:08]

I mean all the usual caveats - age, rawness, don;;t put pressure on him, crap opponent - and I;m not saying he'll make it at all... Leroy Griffiths destroyed Marcel Dessaily at this point one pre season. But it's hard not to feel a little tinge of excitement watching that tonight. We might have something there. |  | | |

Third time of seeing in action has bulked up more this season erratic as hell , had three good shots including a overhead kick attempt , would say keep him , we can use 5 subs this season we are fairly light in players at the minute a tight game he could make a real diff as a late sub as so,stokes even he isn’t sure what he’s going to do , get some fitness into him and let him start sat against palace ,
If he is handled right scores a few goals etc he could make the money we got for Eze look like chicken feed , best prospect I’ve seen in years and that included Eze at this age |  |

Easy tiger
But best signing of summer could be extending Sinclairs contract to 2025/
Watch this space but when the crowd is angry and the form slips thats the learning curve.
no one knows yet how this pans out, but keep with the program and we can all dream... | |

To put the game he played into context Dykes scored a first half hat trick and even Thomas scored. |  | | |

Can’t be coincidence, but on 20 July 1969 Apollo 11 landed and in the early hours of the next day, man first set foot on the moon. Exactly 53 years later we’re all waking up and talking about another Mr. Armstrong.
Let us hope that we’re all looking back on last night as: One small step for the man. One giant leap for our kind! |  |

If there are any posters still denying the presence of global warming, then surely this freak environmental factor is the final indicator needed. | |

Paul Smyth was a whirlwind on first appearance… |
Smyth was always injured that was his problem.
He was injured twice last season, including a collapsed lung.
Great player, but was never available.
Back to Armstrong, sure we can loan him. But we have done. We wasted Les in Turkey for a whole season. Some may say that helped him along, well in my view he was ready already back then. He also knew it as he had a clause in his contract that when he came back they had to play him.
The only way you know if these younglings are good enough is if you play them with the first team. Let him play with Willock, Chair, Uncle and then we can see if he's the new messiah or another doubting Thomas (geddit?) awaiting a cull. |  |

On Les, I used to watch him a lot for the reserves. I don't think he was ready before that loan, or anywhere near ready. What's more, he didn;t seem to believe it either as he often played with very little belief.
Haven't seen enough of Armstrong to judge. No doubting the potential, though. |  |

Great player?
A handful of very good performances but also some games where he was unable to shake of his marker. If he wasn't able to do that then he contributed virtually nothing.
His size was a problem as he was often overpowered and when he tried to be stronger and get stuck in he usually conceded a free kick. | | | |
