He is returning from injury, sustained in November.

On paper, this looks very impressive indeed. But what has happened to the Crystal Palace and Hull City loanees?

Another forward, I think by choice would rather have had an experienced centre back, but beggars cannot be choosers. Doesn't say much for the chances of those fringe forwards already at the club.

A forward with pace should add something. Got a new contract at Sunderland so on paper at least he looks a cut above some of our recent loan signings.

I have a gut feeling this young man could be a big star of the future. I hope he has the right attitude because Gary will soon let him know if he is has not got the right mentality to go with the right ability.

Fingers crossed this could be a big signing for TUFC. COYY

Because they are not considered good enough.

Sounds ok by what people have said . we badly need some pace in our attack as we wont be seeing nemane at all now.

also it would seem johnson doesnt want to play umerah again and waters should be on the bench to come on second half

brucie · Post by **brucie** » 27 Mar 2021, 23:42

Why won't we be seeing Nemane again?

Do you know more about Nemane than the rest of us?

Shame Kimpioka had that injury ,from what he showed yesterday if he had come in January it would have made the difference and we would still have had a great chance of the title. Six ambitious ex EFL teams in the playoff positions at present, it will be tough , amazing run by Chesterfield.
Would a home semi final be an advantage with the crowd back or more expectation and pressure ? who knows, but one game is better than two I guess but there's teams breathing down our neck now so 4 points over Easter is a minimum.

Very excited by this lad and what he can offer us. One of the best debuts in a Torquay shirt I have seen. Quick, mobile and confident.

Well played the managerial team in making this happen.

Yes although he didn't score, could have had a couple, impressive 35 minutes. As you say the best debut from a striker since Keiffer Moore, and before that ,Eiffion Williams and before that !... Trevor Shepherd v Stockport in 1968, remember it as if yesterday, I was in the Cowshed , he swivelled on a sixpence and volleyed one in the top corner from 25 yards.
