ScarBoro 836 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Sun Sports is saying Calum Kavanagh has signed a new three year deal, despite Arsenal trying to get him to move. Sounds like a real prospect. Be nice if we could actually get a real hot shot striker from our Academy for once. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of strikers who shine at u18/u23 level do so because of physical attributes. You often see strikers who are big for their age dominate at this level before being found out when they move up. Kavanagh isn't like that. Hes average build for his age and is often dwarfed by bulky cb's on opposite teams. Instead, he causes chaos with a great ability to press and harass defenders (he will often rob centre backs of possession in dangerous areas) and he has great striking instincts/positional awareness. I have no doubt he will score shedloads this season. Cant wait to see how he progresses. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope you are spot on 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 God it sounds like Strachan was even more of a turnip than I thought he was 🙄🙄🙄🙄 6 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I dunno, I'm on Strachan's side, I don't remember the game but he definitely did not stop that cross. 😬 Link to post Share on other sites

Brad Jones flapping at crosses is a memory I have of that day. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,218 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 There you go. Unsurprisingly, the culprit was Justin Hoyte, although I think the person that Strachan feels is to blame was Julio Arca, who is in the general vicinity. The goal is around the 2:35 mark, Jones didn't actually flap at the cross in fairness, he just kind of half came then went back. Hoyte at left back, I can't think of anyone who would want to see that. The next video is the home game later in the season featuring a lovely goal from Barry Robson, one of the few things that Strachan got right in his time here, and goal scoring hero Scott McDonald's first goal in a Boro shirt. Barry Robson would be useful for us now, canny player. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 am I right in saying Forest are starting with 9 new signings tonight? Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, although you could argue it's 8 due to the fact that Colback was there on loan last season. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Didn't realise they'd done so much business. Looking at their signings, I think every one of them would walk into our 11 Link to post Share on other sites
