    Welcome Maduka, as long as you don't take the piss out of the club on your socials and as long as you don't throw the ball into the net, you'll do OK here. Low bar, low bar indeed...

    His interview on the WO is good. Glad to hear they are already working on him coming for the ball more and being commanding.

    Yes - that was the bit that jumped out at me too. Comes across well I think.

    That sounds remarkably difficult to do if the pig is minded not to let you do so.

    Fair enough, good player as a youngster, very bow legged.

    Obviously not enough though as we're going with Bachamann for the start of the season.

    That video and interview hyping him up didn't pay off then.

    £10m on Bayo and Okoye.

    At least we didn't have to sell one of our players for a massively inflated price to Udinese and loan him back just to scrape through the summer.

    Don’t YOU take on extraordinary levels of debt and engage in multiple shady deals with businessmen of ill repute when running YOUR business?

    It’s simply good husbandry.

    Where will he end up on loan next month? I'm going for Belgium, possibly back to Holland if he's lucky.

    Probably should go out on loan a strange signing especially when his form dropped off so rapidly at Sparta.

    Send him to Sparta to work with Leonidas and the 300.
    That'll sort him or out!

    I didn't watch the game yesterday, I've seen the highlights though, I have a few questions about Okoye, because he did seem quite promising in the Netherlands, first of all, do teams in the Eredivisie just not bother crossing the ball? And how much of Okoye's nervousness any time he's played for us is down to simply not playing? It can't be easy not playing for months and then being thrust into the team, I do wonder if he'd improve if he got a regular run if Bachmann (and possibly Hamer too as he might be ahead in the pecking order) got injured

    The first goal was bad luck, the second goal he barely comes out to close down the angle making it easier for Long. His kicking was ok but he looked petrified when he was given it. He spilled a couple of comfortable saves. They didn’t put a lot of crosses in that I can remember but don’t remember him flapping at much.
    God help us if Bachman gets injured because he looks far from ready. On his side is his age because very seldomly do you have keepers playing regularly at a young age

    I didn't see his whole game but even Bachmann would have come out for the 2nd one.

    It was like he was rooted to the spot.

    1st half probably didn't have much of a chance to save it but was there an issue with positioning?

    I didn’t think his positioning for the first goal was too bad. Just bad luck

    They used to same about Bachmann when Foster was stinking up the joint. I particularly remember a difficult game in the cup for him against Tranmere.

    Foster got injured in the Champo, Bachmann came in, looked great and we got promoted.

    Game time is important.

    Will it be just the 1 match ban for Bachmann? Said 2nd bookable offense on Sky, but it looked a red card 'challenge'

    I’d prefer Hamza ahead of Okoye, and I’m being serious.
