I once saw a QPR fan tell a Blackburn fan on twitter that Gladwin is quality when he isn’t towing his caravan around the pitch. I don’t think I ever saw a more apt description of him.

I’m not convinced Gladwin’s mobility issues have ever been a consequence of his weight but what do I know?
Cant hurt I suppose

5kg causing him to be a bit slower last season or not (having lost/gained double that between 'seasons' when I was playing football regularly myself I am not convinced), he definitely looked sharper in the pre season matches compared to last season. Fingers crossed we get a Di Canio-era gladwin and not the slightly more stationary gladwin we've seen at times. I would say that he is the type of player who never appears to be moving at the greatest speed, which does lead to some detractors, but as an engine he is great.
Being pedantic, because I know what you’re referring too, but the di canio era gladwin was treading the boards at various m4 corridor non league sides |

Pedantically correct to pull me up on it, I don't know why I conflate Gladwin's time here with Di Canio, but I always do. |

Am i the only one who thinks we're in need of a left sided forward? in the 'Barry' type mould.
Squad seems very shaped up for 352 but we need to be adaptable and switch to 433.

I think we will see a loanee come in for that or possibly some faith shown in one of the newer lads alongside McKirdy and the new number 9 |

Surely Wakeling has done enough to expect a starting place? I know people were dismissive of his loan at Barrow, but they were struggling against relegation, and not interested in the finer details of pure football. He has shown a lot of energy and skill in the friendlies.

Dunno, the line up for Eastleigh had some strange numbering (caught me eye hence I remembered and looked back) which seemed to go beyond what one would normally expect for a pre-season 1-11 + subs?  If so there is no no.9 which hopefully bodes well for a 1st choice striker being expected to land? |

I'm sure those will turn out to be the squad numbers. Too random not to be....
Edit: the lad from Ayr could get no.9...
