Will CKR be a regular starter this season?

[Citrus]

I think he will be. I've only seen him at Worthing, but I would play him and Knight.

Unfortunately, Jake looked much worse than I would have expected.

I would have to agree. Perhaps Jake is trying too hard.

 

[Loft23]

He looks like he will be a regular the way he's playing so far.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

He will feature regularly because basically there were other teams after him and we have obviously said to him, "you join us and you will be first on the team-sheet". That simple really.

Oh and not to mention the fact he looks quality so far.

Albion & England forever.

Good point.

 

[London Irish]

Despite his age and inexperience, he will start because he's a much better player than all our others.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Jake was stuck out on the right wing against Worthing, not really fair to judge him when he is out of position. Looks like he would have played there in France too.

I would expect CKR and Leon to start up front, maybe Virgo and CKR if the centre of defence is covered and we don't need Virgs there.

 

[The Large One]

I think he will be. I've only seen him at Worthing, but I would play him and Knight.

I cannot believe that anyone is taking seriously the performances of certain individuals during pre-season friendlies as an indicator to how they are going to do during the football season.

Incidentally, Thimble is right. CKR came to us above the other contenders for his signature because he was pretty much promised first-team football.

Apart from getting up to match fitness isn't that one of the main reasons for pre-season friendlies? For players to get noticed and stake their claim for a place when the season starts?

 

[Ernest]

By the end of the season he will be a regular starter for Aldershot or Stevenage if he's lucky

 

[Biscuit]

Yes.

Slightly different emphasis than that I feel. McGhee is not the kind of manager to give any player a free meal ticket. What he would probably have been told was that he would be given a fair opportunity to fight for a first-team spot straight away, which is not quite the same thing as a promise.

C K-R's advisers are not stupid, they would have known that we were playing a defender up front last season, so they would have calculated the odds for their boy from that.
