The Portuguese are renowned shortarses though. Pepe n Renaldo are the two biggest adult males in Portuguese recorded history. I went to the indoor shopping centre in Funchal, Madeira to buy a polo shirt. None would fit……..and I’m only 5’3” ffs.

Something has gone catastrophically wrong if the manager has written off our only striker after 60 minutes of his debut.

Either the manager has misjudged the player and/or is taking his frustrations with the club out on him, or the manager has judged the player correctly and the club has made a terrible signing.

We certainly didn't sign him and give him the number 9 shirt with the intention of him being one for the u21s.

according to the head coach he was signed to be 3rd choice this season..
 
I got a load of unecessary abuse on this thread when he signed for not creaming myself at a 19yo Portuguese reserve with 2 senior goals signing.

Said I hoped he wouldnt be needed to start on the first day and we had more forward signings coming in.

I'll not hold my breath waiting for an apology. Still hope he is good enough to help us soon, but again I wont be holding my breath.

Here have a medal 🏅
 
he can't do the running in training - Mowbray has said as much. This league is extremely physically demanding and it's going to take a while before he can run like he needs to.
 
He’s had an hour to impress and wasn’t that bad in that time. Almost Every player we’ve signed that has done well has taken time to adjust. Batth, Roberts, Clarke, Evans, Ekwah, Cirkin and Alese all looked average at best for a few games and most were in and out a bit before establishing themselves, even Dialo was less than impressive initially. Hemir looks to have the necessary tools but probably isn’t anywhere near up to speed on fitness and stamina to show his best in this league. I’m fairly confident it will happen though. Far, far too soon to be saying the club have signed a totally shite centre forward or that Mowbray has completely mismanaged him.

more than an hour on the training ground when they're running box to box drills and he's blowing to the point of having to sit out.

Our super duper data machine obviously doesn’t report on “running ability”.

It will have taken that in to account but can really only compare to others in the league he was in. His stats might be very good for that but need honing for what is, fairly obviously, a step up.

Source?
 
I thought he played really well against Mallorca, handled their big shithouse centre halves well and held the ball up. We came away thinking we'd found someone really useful.

Need to remember he's still learning, I have no problem him not starting if it's right for him to get his fitness and learning up in the u21s, I'm sure it will have been made very clear to him the pathway he will follow and I doubt he is now shot to pieces because he didn't play the last league game.
