    Possibly mate could see that working - in some ways may be better at home when opposition parks the bus and we need skill to unlock

    If we don’t get a replacement in (which looks likely imho) then we are too thin up top

    Thiam maybe could fill the void but he’s doing well where he is

    We are now thin up front but the club has gone about the matter in the right way, both for the club & Bradshaw. GG has been clear about reinvestment so it’s a different feel to it for me. I myself can run around like Bradshaw (for 10 seconds only though) so he’s definitely not irreplaceable! Decent player but nowhere near as important as Kieffer. Remember that we turned down numerous bids from Millwall for Bradshaw & didn’t accept the normal £500K - they had to meet our evaluation! Timing could be better but onwards & upwards.

    For me, Bradshaw is the strikers equivalent of Brendan O'Connell. Not hugely skilful, runs around a lot, not always evident what his end result is and he scores a few goals but misses a fair few along the way.

    I liked Brendan too, just like I liked Bradshaw. But we replaced O'Connell with much better, and I fully expect is to do so here too. Pressing football isn't all about running as hard as you can for 90 minutes. And I think we're a long way off being the team Stendel wants us to be. You have to control the ball at times too, and I think we're being a bit too harem scarem. if we can come out of this window with a player that does dovetail with Moore, can develop, and has a longer contract and future resale value... we've had a blinder.
