Indeed - how many people thought of betting on Paynter for top league one scorer (I know he wasn't, but not far off)
My Dad did. |

Of all the top scorers to leave over the last decade or so, he's the one I probably care least about.

Why has nobody commented on my Bodin recommendation.We very rarely seem to play our promising youngsters and seem to loan in youngsters from other clubs.We then let them go to other clubs and very rarely see them again.The only ones I can recall are,Morrison,Macklin,Kennedy and of course"Young Alan Young.You will never know how good they are until you try them out.So do you lot agree G.O.N.

The problem is alot of our youngsters look like youngsters.
I dont know if its a problem with our club specifically but none of youngsters look 'beefy' Billy Bodin would get kicked over the Town End in L1.
Ward and Ferry whilst not the biggest, still looked relatively strong.
Apart from Lukas Jutkiewicz all our kids who come through, look like kids and are built like kids.

I have watched our youth team and reserve time a few times over the last couple of years, based purely on that the best player I've seen after Lukas Jutkiewicz was easily Lloyd Macklin.
If he doesnt make it (which looks very unlikely at the moment) then Bodin wont.

"Make it" as in at Swindon or in professional football? It's a fair shout but plenty of players who lack build have made it... Good to see Scott Doe return to the FL with Dagenham & Redbridge last year where he's done really well.
Billy Bodin interests me because he's highly regarded by the Welsh and did okay for us.

pro footballer.
i think Bodin is a decent little player but far from the best to come up through the ranks in recent years and probably the smallest to.

But in youth and reserve team games there is no pressure in a pro game situation macklin has crumbled and repeatedly given away possesion. It depends how well young billy responds to a game situation if he does well then he will "make it" |

Point taken. Perhaps if we dont boo his first ever professional touch like we did Macklin. I still dont think Bodin is as good as Macklin. |
