Jake Scrimshaw

[mistertonmick]

Welcome Jake, I hope you know where the net is.

[mistertonmick]

5 goals for Walsall and Newport last season in 30 appearances, and 5 foot 9 tall.

[Awaywego]

Well we were all wrong, good luck Jake rooting for ya.

[mistertonmick]

Third time lucky from Bournemouth we hope.

Surely has to make more of an impact than Cordner & Vincent.

Someone to work in tandem with Loft we hope, when Loft is fit of course. What’s this maybe a 4-4-2 coming back to GP?

Or dare we hope for 4-3-3?
Pugh, Beestin, Perry
Bunn, Loft, Scrimshaw
Might give us a bit of a goal threat for a change.

[lesgeo]

I’d stick to 4-4-2, Cass.
4-3-3 you play too narrow and I don’t fancy all those crosses coming into our box.
(If we’re trailing … maybe.)

Nice topknot, Jake.

If he can hold the ball up on the edge of the box – I almost consider that as important as scoring in this side.

Have the best year of your life at the SVS, Jake!

I reckon we have to start with him on his debut tomorrow. I know it’s not the done thing with us but needs must.

[cassidystash]

Nah! Let’s go for a 5-4 instead of a 1-0 les. Give the (reducing) crowd some entertainment and get a few more back in.

4 4 2 as a basic st-up. Seems to work for us.

I’ve been watching some video clips of him playing, he has good movement, and knows where the net is. If the team can get some quality balls through to him I suspect he’ll bag a few goals for us.

To be fair, Cordner definitely made an impact. Never heard of Vincent!

[MK Iron]

Cordner had deceptive pace. Was even slower than he looked.

To be fair Vincent showed a few nice touches until the Iron injury curse got him.

Should be able to carve out a few openings, hope he has a whale of a time here. UTWI

I’m actually looking forward to the match tomorrow, it’s been a while I’ll tell you.

I hope young Scrimshaw gets some game time. Even more so if he can start to build a rock solid partnership with our Loftie.

As good as we could hope for, I think.
Now prepared to say that if we do not get too many more injuries, feel happy to plan for lower mid-table.
Interesting to see which CB goes if we go 4-4-2. (Loft for me.)
If Tyrone is fit – think Devarn might not make the 11.

Still a strong chance that it will be 5-3-2 in which case the 11 virtually picks itself.

Anybody know if he has trained with the team yet?

[lesgeo]

I meant Taft not Loft, of course.

[Lord Kitchener]

Is he the player that was spotted with the ‘man bun’ in his hair. Ifso then he will have been introduced to his team mates some time ago. I hope so, because that would mean he has been here and about the team.

[Awaywego]

No LK.

[Sanfran49]

Late on in a game if you need a battering ram up top to take pressure of then give Fin Shrimpton a chance. Would work well with Jessop, Wilson & Pugh.

I realise Fin would be out of position but he will upset defenders.

Don’t want to be the party pooper Les, but lower mid table feels like a pipe dream at the minute.

Still think we need another
striker/winger bringing in as a minimum.

A GK too If Bilson is a long term injury, any news on how long he’s out for yet?

[lesgeo]

Thought Neil said GK not as bad as first thought.

[Lord Kitchener]

Aye but which goalkeeper is Cox’s first choice? I know loan players should play whenever available, but that has not always been the case at the iron. Also I ask this because Watson has been given the number one shirt.

[mistertonmick]

hadn’t he been given the number 1 shirt before Bilson came here.

[lesgeo]

Back to back decent games from Rory creates a nice problem for Neil.

[mistertonmick]

So expecting a blooper today then Les.

[Awaywego]

No Mick we got Billson on the 26th of July and Cox announced the squad number’s on the 27th, I did remark about it at the time, he didn’t deserve it and thought Cox was been generous to him.
