Not based on his performance last week at Birmingham.
Complete headless chicken and the goals seem to have dried up for him.

He is being raved about in Bristol - certainly got a bright future , not sure if he will get time on the pitch at Chelsea though

Service he got was rubbish, but his all round play was very good. He looks like a breeze will blow him over, but stayed on his feet the whole game, against two strong centre backs. If he had been up front for us, he would have scored a couple today.

Goals have dried up a little bit recently and the Bristol supporters I spoke to feel that if he doesn't score , he doesn't offer a lot.
I was interested to watch him last week and too often he made the wrong run i.e. ​he ran off one centre-back straight into the space of the other cb. Certainly has potential but I think it will be some time before he is capable of playing anywhere near the top level.

He is only 19, and will only get better. Can only comment on what I saw, and he was a right handful. Strong and quick and direct. He almost scored straight from the kick off just running straight from the halfway line. reading fans all impressed with him, and would be happy to have him.
Had a dry spell, but what striker doesn't ? He had to make his own chances against us, with not a lot of service. Also playing up front by himself with no support. His attitude was great, chased lost causes, and kept going to the end of the game. Must be a lot stronger than he looks.
I would have him over any striker I have seen at Mad Stad this season.:thup:

I fancy Reading next week as we're not converting enough chances. We dominated the likes of Brentford and had more than enough chances yesterday to get at least a point but not producing in front of goal. Chris Martin looks a shadow of the player he was at Derby and we're missing McCormack and Dembele's influence

Liam Moore is suspended, and since he came from Leicester our defence has really tightened up. Can't believe we got him for 1.5 million. Would take a draw.

Looks like we could have new Chinese owners. The same ones that were not allowed to take over at Hull, because some of their partners were found to be unfit to be connected to a club.
Oh joy. Just as things were looking good.

Long way to go yet and if they had issues at Hull you'd hope the league will look into every nook and cranny of the deal. On the plus side you could get some serious cash to spend on a promotion tilt and then staying up once you get there

It would appear from the outside that the Thai owners, have transferred the car park and surrounding land to another one of their companies for development, and having stripped out what they wanted are ditching the club. Shades of Pompey.
On the downside, The Chinese own a Chinese football team, that has just been relegated from the top division.
They could also come in and want their own manager and backroom people, put no money in for transfers, except for signing some players on huge wages. When they leave after a year, we nearly go into administration because we can't afford the wages. Unlikely, well it happened with previous Russian owners.
Strange how new owners want to buy clubs, when it is looks like they could get in the Premier league, and the millions that is worth.:mmm:
Don't like the look of this.

Genuinely have sympathy with you.
After all; Chinese (or Hong Kong) owners, what can go wrong?!

some game last night with the forest coming out on top.
two off for the toon in the first half and then forest miss two penaltys beforeh the half is over ,toon one up and then all hands to the pump for a defensive against the eleven men . finally settled with an own goal 4 minutes from time .
great game for the neutral .and of course forest and Brighton fans

What a day. 36 points playing crap, train to the Cottage, a Christmas miracle, home and the England rugby to watch in full. To be fair to Reading until the OG, they were more than a match and could have been level by half time. A great goal from Martin and then a red card and we were always in charge. Going to have some fun at the club and work tomorrow and MOnday

With Fulham at the moment, anyone could get a spanking we are just so inconsistent in front of goal. We annihilated Brighton for 45 minutes last week, failed to score the goals we should and ended up getting beaten, same against QPR and so many other teams this season. With a decent striker or two we'd be pushing Newcastle at the top, as it is we're just going to be in and around the playoffs.

Do you think we could buy a striker in January. Martin looks like he's (finally) finding his feet and the net. I think had we kept McCormack he'd have done a job with Martin and we'd be close to the top. We need a finisher and hope the chairman sorts it out, especially in the summer if not earlier

With our chairman who knows? Martin has scored a few but for the possession we have and the chances we create we don't score nearly enough goals.
I agree about Mccormack, a decent striker in this team would have a field day, let's hope the management can see it too.
