If they havent noticed already, all teams will start to adapt their gameplan specifically to contend with him now. Guess the next step for him is being able to cope with that and still be as effective. Fully agree. He has to learn to cope with that and Koroma has to utilise any space created by teams over-marking him. Great things can come from two quality wide players in tandem.

We've made more than our fair share of cock ups in the transfer market over the past few seasons but we have got a few right too. Looks like Sorba might turn out to be the one that we REALLY did get right! Excellent achievement by the lad and fully deserved. If they havent noticed already, all teams will start to adapt their gameplan specifically to contend with him now. Guess the next step for him is being able to cope with that and still be as effective. Teams can’t double up on him AND Koroma though. I back JK to hit a rich streak of goal scoring form this month…

Wouldn't surprise me to see him fade a bit, as the oppo pay special attention to him, but at the same time someone like Koroma to hit a purple patch.

How good is it to have a decent set-piece taker? Does anyone know if we have a buyback clause for Mounie? ;-)

Many congratulations to Sorba Thomas & his well deserved SKY Award, many congrats to the much maligned Leigh Bromby & colleagues, for scouting & recruiting Sorba, from Boreham Wood FC - UTT.

Ill say it quietly so as not to jinx the next couple of windows but since Jan 2019 we have had some fantastic signings and loans. Even if you only look at players we paid a fee for.. Karlan Grant, Koroma, Toffolo, Pipa and Sorba are probably worth 10 times what we paid for them. Some duds too but the hit rate is pretty high since the prem.

And you can add on the signings we made before going up to that list such as permanent signings like Heff, Lowre, Schindler, etc All absolute bargains even though we didn't end up selling them on for big profits. We seem very good at low end signings ( in terms of money ). Its when we tried to move up into that PL mid price bracket of £5m-20m that we made a total dogs dinner of it.

Aden Flint one of the nominees, 4 goals in 5 games as a CB is madness. I recall him scoring 13 one season with Bristol City, not even a set piece taker. Way sorba and Sinani take set pieces ours could get double figures to be fair Pearson had a few disallowed already You beat me to it. I was going to point out that Pearson could have had four by now too if not for picky liners.

Not just Pearson either. With the quality of crosses they're whipping in from set pieces our centre backs could possibly clock up 15 to 20 goals between them this season.

I could understand signing Holmes, but not with a three year contract.

I could understand signing Holmes, but not with a three year contract. There was a good sized portion of fans that were sure Rhodes was the answer. Probably some being the same ones who will slag off the recruitment team in the next breath. But how could so many rose tinted spectacle wearers be wrong? P.s. This post is in keeping with the told you so-ers.

Surely, even on here!

Seem to remember Maynard saying we'd beaten off quite a bit of competition to get Sorba. I'd love to know who those teams are...
