Extended loan. 

Up yours monkey I got there first.

obviously not going with england then?

i thought that was why he was only here for a month before

pumpkin head will be well happy

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (in slow movie style)

He's going to score a peach on Saturday.

Are Tesco fruit and veg pushing outside the ground again?

Nah, David has a daughter who has just turned 16.

That is not good IMO....

hmmm not so keen myself

Competition is competition - I'm content.

oops

He was not selected in the England U20 squad, whether it be due to him wanting to stay here or just not selected I don't know.

Id go with the crapness i think

I've been quite vociferous in tarnishing his name during his time here - who knows though, he may come good.

seems to be alot of his family in that facebook group!

good.

Fucking hell he's only 19, and he's been selected for england. He must have something about him

The stick he gets is disgusting

I agree, from what i've seen he's been quite lively and has a lot of pace, which we lack up front.
Some of his through balls and passing have been excellent also.

Don't know how you arrived at that conclusion, hes usually robbed of possession before he can decide what to do with the ball!

It was widely touted that he'd be part of the England squad but that has fallen through. Is it maybe because he hasn't met expectations whilst playing for us ? Perhaps he is one for the future, and despite an improved performance against Yeovil, is he any use to us, especially just for an extra month. I would have preferred Hutch & Revell to have had at least a run out with the reserves in mid-week to achieve match fitness, otherwise we could be lacking again in 4 weeks time.

Meh, I don't really rate him but I'm not unhappy he's here longer either. Hope he can get a few more goals to answer his critics.

I'd love it if he could prove everyone wrong.

It's something of a Catch 22 situation. If he does answer his critics and scores goals, he'll almost certainly be off back to 'desperate' Bolton in October. If he under-performs for us, we get to extend the loan even further. Terrific.

Well, it depends if anything comes of this Charles Austin chap doesn't it?

Most of the time, a month isn't enough for a young player to make a significant impact.

 With regard to Toby Oddbody, he's already had a month, and only another month remains. I hope Charlie Austin makes it, yet I wonder why he hasn't been snapped up by anyone else at this stage of proceedings. After all, (and I stand to be corrected) didnt Kuklowski and Razak also score on their trial debuts ? I suppose time will tell.

If he can find a final ball he would be a really handy player at this level. He has got a good attitude he tracks back, helps the team, shows a lot of effort and seems committed to the cause. He has a goal under his belt now and we might see a bit more from him, he certainly doesn't lack confidence which is a good base for any player. We have also had a lot worse grace the county ground turf recently.

I think he adds another dimension of flair to our squad. We have hard working solid players like Douglas and McGovern who both build up our play better than I've seen for years. I just think obadeyi provides some flair along with Revell now that might help us win matches by bigger margins than our sneaky 1-0's. Our GD isn't fantastic compared to the teams around us, so more goals is a must.

Lets be honest - he has been shit......

But....played the best today.

But he doesnt seem to be able to judge the flight of the ball!

Lets be honest - thats total bollocks.

He's also our top scorer in the league.

i can't believe he's actually scored twice for us, it's incredible. he's utter dogshite. the amount of times he is caught in posession is incredible for a professional player. he seems to take an absolute age to decide what to do on the ball in even the easiest of circumstances. lucky he had about 15 seconds to slot the ball home yesterday really.

The jury's still out for me. He's undoubtedly got talent, but he's a greedy cunt who needs to learn how to pass.

Yesterday, he had a solid chance, composed himself and put it away well. McGovern had a similar chance and missed.

At this level, if you can take the chances, you make the team. He's got a lot of things he needs to develop, but I rated him above Hutchison yesterday.

i think one incident yesterday summed him up - received a pass when in space and stopped completely thinking he was offside despite clearly being onside. he lacks a brain... if he develops one, i think he could be a pretty decent player.

hutchinson's the opposite in some respects, he's clearly got some talent, ability and a footballing brain but is lazy and looks disinterested - perhaps he thinks swindon is below him?

Exactly what I thought. It's almost if playing in L1 is demeaning to him. Ferry is the complete opposite, real quality and the right attitude.

Hadwin mentioned on the Radio that Hutchinson had a 'touch of the Simon Cox' about him attitude wise. Now if only he could discover than same on the pitch.

Not the first time a loan player has arrived to a lower league club with that attitude.

Simon Ferry on the other hand is a man who loves his football... Also, I notice he planted a big ol' kiss on Tope yesterday :)

Paynter has got just as much pace as Hutchingson and offers more in other areas, i would play him and revell together but keep the same system. Tope has got us the points in the last two home games, goals win you games so aslong as he gets a few im glad he's in the team.

thats the most frustrating thing about him, he has attributes.....strength, pace, power, can shoot once he's spent 20 seconds deciding if he wants to do so. but as for knowledge of how to play the game he hasnt got the first clue.

He has played less league games than the likes of Kennedy,Morrison,Maklin.A bit of perspective needs to be used here with this lad.Never played league football and is effectivly being used as a winger yet has scored 2 in 3.I don't really know what more people can ask really,i have read some say that Macca,Maklin or Marshall should all start instead of him yet he has scored the same in a town shirt as these 3 players combined. 

Been round the block chum!

I know shite when i see it...

The lad just cannot seem to make the right decision in reference to:

Passing - running - tackling - heading...

Scoring two goals (one of which Mildenhall jumped over) doesnt turn my head.

Why dont we let smith take all the pens - does that make him great if he scores em??

I think we've all been spoilt a bit by Cox and have too high expectations from loan strikers. He's a whole lot better that Colin f'n Heath was. How that guy got into the Manchester United youth academy I'll never know.

I've seen enough shit to know Topi isnt shit.

You cant argue with his goals return. Its more than anyone else.

We are 5th, Tope has played a big part of the games so far, it therefore works (playing him).  Results are better and performances are better so far.

is it me or does he look like one of those dodgy african dudes that try to sell watches in spain? :)

Lucky lucky!! Hey Dell boy, it's cheap as chiiips!

Bye Bye Tope, don't let the door hit you on the way out you greedy useless lump!

I'm sad to see him go in a way. He's young and learning, which isn't ideal when we need goals, but he shows glimpses and is another option up front.

But I guess we may get another loan at some point and who is to say they won't be better.

Harsh

I was never his greatest fan, but being played out of position for all bar one game of his spell here hardly did him any favours did it Gaz


I wish hil good luck

For a young lad he is still learning and I hope he progresses

For a Premiership youngster I thought he was pretty shit there are much better younger players at Reading for example, I can see him playing non-league in a season or so.

Tope, whilst learning, his reluctance to pass the ball really did my head in, He was more about scoring goals than playing for the team. The number of times Paynter or Revell were waiting to be set up was alarming, not to say they would have scored but.... however that said, yes he is a young kid and I guess he was out to impress, sadly he needs to learn that there is no “I” in team, but being a loan player is he going to give a shit if he does well for Swindon Town or lose sleep if he doesn’t? There must be something there be picked for England however I never really saw it.

Do I wish him luck? Yes, Am I sad to see him go? No. I don't think we will be any worse off without him.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I'm interesting in why Bolton changed their stance and allowed him to play on Saturday.  Are they just being nice (they're obviously not trying to persuade us to extend his loan), or is there the potential for him to come back here permanently in January?

While I realise the chances of him featuring for Bolton in the FA Cup this season are minimal, having him cup-tied may limit the chances of farming him out on loan to another club later in the season.

Alternatively, maybe the Adver were wrong, and Bolton had never refused permission in the first place.

Hopefully this will give Yapitee Daboo the chance he deserves.

ben get yourself an avatar.

Ooooh. I haven't made a new one in ages.

To me he hasn't shown anything that says he will be a future star player, I don't think he will be missed although I think I'd prefer Tope staying over Hutchinson, we really do need a decent 2nd striker who can take chances when presented

Ferry is as excellent as Hutch and Tope have been shit.

Im sorry but that Topebadloanee did nothing for me.

I hope he shuts up my yopper with a hat trick tonight.

He's still our second top scorer isnt he?

I would have liked to have seen the striker play upfront.

Joint with Revell, Manky and JPM i think.

And Cuthbert.

thats still technically a yes then.

Maybe.

I think he's shit

His only redeeming feature is that despite being shit he's still better than Hutchinson.

Hutchinson is one of the worst players I have ever seen.

and McNamee

I sat and thought "is he really that bad?"

I think he probably is.

He seems to have the inverse body shape to strength of Coxy.

Coxy was very strong for his size/build and could really dig his heels in and fight a centre back for the ball. Hutchinson, despite being a fairly big bloke, seems to be as strong as a little girl.

Agree, clumsy oaf!

Thats a polite way of putting it

Hutchinson and Tope have nothing on some of the gash we had on loan in our relegation season. Colin Heath, Aaron Brown, Petr Mikolanda and worst of all Patrick fucking Collins.

Chris McPhee and Albert Jarrett were a bit shit too!

Don't start me off about Jarrett.  >:( worst player ever..
I hope Tope gets a good send off tonight, I think he did alright for us.
And as for Hutchinson, I got faith in him, to do well yet.

chris mcphee at least put in some effort unlike hutchinson

just to pick up on this point solely- i don't think he's that bad, who was it who had people to pass to and decided to roll the ball nicely back to their keeper from 30 yards?

he's inexperienced but considering he works the channels and we usually only have one (usually misfiring striker in the middle) he's got fuck all to give it to so he runs into fun little cul de sacs where he has to try some ronaldo-esque skill to get out of.

he's frustrating but was our best option to play alongside paynter or revell as i don't think those two will play that well up top together

Worst one was that bloke who got subbed after about 20 mins at Palace (by Quinn).  Neale Fenn?  Worse than me, and I'm shit.

What about Jamie Slabber and Mark McCammon? McCammon was so shit Jimmy Quinn came out of retirement.

Totally gutless also, i've seen more balls on a eunuch.

Hutch didnt do too bad last night but far from the answer in terms of scoring goals. I still think Austin is the answer. Looked good when he came on.

I think Ferry will go down with the long line of top class youngsters weve had on loan Given, Thompson, Carrick, Davis, Milner and Coxy.

Hutchinson will go down as the next Moses Ashikodi (but not as fast, strong or hardworking). I would compare Tope to Jo Kuffour, Im sure he will make a decent career out of the lower leagues.

ferry looks the only footballer to me
