    How many goals do you reckon you'd get in 46 games?

    An optimistic me thinks I'd sneak 10 a season against us, realistically I genuinely think I'd get 5 and I'm **** at football

    Having played in work five a side leagues with conference players as ringers - zero. No matter how bad you think professionals look, they’re actually much better than an amateur.

    I do get that but they make so many mistakes that with enough opportunities I reckon I could get lucky every once in a while.

    None, unless I was on pens.

    I’d still look better than Sam Cosgrove though.

    Don't forget that even Cosgrove managed to shove a goalkeeper over once and get a gift of a goal

    The jump from amateur to semi professional is huge and the next jump is even bigger to full time professional.

    From what I'm seeing if I played in goal at the other end I'd have no problem keeping a clean sheet

    Remarkable how many amateurs have absolutely no idea whatsoever of the galactic difference in quality between themselves and professionals.

    Someone should tell that to jack shepherd because he came in and in my opinion looked head and shoulders above the rest of the defenders. Obviously he had a bad game though so immediately lost his Barnsley career
