i thought fola was rubbish tonight.
awful first touch, always wants too much time on the ball, very poor in the air - his only assets are his pace and strength. even then, his strength works against him as defenders are constantly winning free-kicks off him. Fuck off Fola was ace. I wouldn't be surprised if a Championship club come swooping in for him before we can extend his contract  |

Sonic please say your kidding! He had his Bambi moments, and needs to be more composed in the box, but he created more openings than any other player on the pitch. by the way - have you aplogised to Andy Nicholas for his 'sending off' yet?!!  |

Surprisng turn of speed for a big fella as well. Just goes to show that fallon really is that slow! He represented England at schoolboy level in the 400m, that may explain his pace. Thought he looked ok tonight, put himself about and has that Wanchope ability to look as confused about what he will do next as the defenders. Sometimes he looked excellent, others odd. Not sure he'd start many games this season but I'd sign him to just baffle teams late on or if we need to press for a goal. |

All he's got is pace! Doesn't seem to fancy a challenge or tackle. Couldn't finish his dinner. If we want someone with pace, why don't we just sign Darren Campbell or Linford Christie ffs. I'd rather have a footballer and imo Caton and Lucas deserve a chance.

Well I would say that as virtually everyone was slating him before he had even kicked a ball, that Fola has done pretty well to win so many people over albeit not everyone - Yet.
He is surely a certainty to get signed until the end of the season I would have thought?

i thought fola (rolo as a nickname, is that racist?) had a good game. He doesn't always have the best touch in the world, but is effective up front and espically set pieces. Not in the attacking sense but he cleared nearly every cross or free kick!

I have not had the pleasure of seeing him in action yet but he sounds a bit like a modern day Dave Bamber to me! Which is a good thing for all you younger peeps |

Sonic were you pissed last night? Fola, without being outstanding, played very well, held the ball up well, Brentford struggled to control the big fella. He used his body well and then did the simple stuff. Unlucky not to score, extend contract to end of season please Dennis.
