[Little Green Man]

Not seen him play but someone on the coach on the way back from Swansea was saying Tom Eaves is a shockingly bad player, just a slow lump up front that doesn't do anything. Anyone got any more info on him?

Let's be honest, loud mouth probably hasn't seen him play either.

He'd struggle to, Eaves has been injured since the end of July.

What of Connelly, the centre-half /

... & Josh Vela who benched 2 or 3 times last year ?

... & Snorrason.

Alright, I'll admit to forgetting about the first two, but I've not a clue who Snorrason is.

Allardyce 'find' who was described as the next Gudjohnsen

Adam Blakeman, Tom Eaves and Rhys Bennett are, by all accounts, closest to breaking through at the minute. Bennett was, last I heard, doing rather well with Falkirk.

Can Bennett play Left Back?

Isn't Blakeman a left back?

Don't know, if he is, is he any good?

[CAPSLOCK]

The last time we blooded two young full backs of our own, it was Mike Graham and David Burke

The looked like world beaters

Both went on to have decent careers, but neither were what you'd want to play regular in the BPL

[norm the jedi]

Was Burke the lad who broke a leg at Fulham and was decent but never just as good after..?
Or have I just made that memory up?

[CAPSLOCK]

Burke and Graham would have debuted around 1979

I'm sure that is where he played in the Macclesfield match and thats all I've seen of him. Looked decent from what I recall.

Burke and Graham would have debuted around 1979

Burke 78 - 82 - 69 appearances - and then he went to Huddersfield - [wiki]

I'm sure it was him and the apps would sort of fit..

[jaffka]

then he came back in the white hot years and did very well after having extra throw in training

The puff! We'll soon have him boo-ed off.

Except bang in a hat-trick against most of our first team

Who on that particular day, were slow lumps who didn't do anything.

[boltonboris]

The slow lump in action.

Good job I'm not epileptic

[wanderers_on_tour]

wasn't there a rumour on here Eaves would have gone on loan to Burnley or sumat if he hadn't got injured? would love to see him go out on loan to a championship side when fit

[Jokers in White]

Eaves look's a very good prospect for us, and can finish with both feet.

presumably you mean one at a time? (else that's a pretty neat trick!)
