Howay 12462 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see the lad get a chance but it doesn't seem like he will seeing as he didn't get on the pitch for the cup game or the game against Brighton. I just read that they might still loan him out again, I suppose the lad's only 19 so will only be 23 at the end of the 4 year deal he just signed so there's plenty of time. Talent obviously matters more than height, it's easier to make it as a bigger player as that physical edge can get players by (Sissoko being an example of this tbh). The English leagues are physical but I think it just means shorter players have to be stocky/have a good centre of gravity, like Aguero is unless they are phenomenal technically like Silva. 5' 8" isn't all that short anyway mind, I'm surprised he's that tall as he never looked it when I've seen him come on in the past unless he grew a little bit which I guess is possible at his age.

Holden McGroin 4905 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 we might as well send him on loan again now that Murphy has signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 He's looked alright to me like, problem was when I last saw him play (last season? or the one before?) no fucker would pass to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Have a mate who's a Coventry fan and thought he was the bee's knees. He's never really had a proper runout for us, but I'd probably give him to another (non-rival) Championship team til Jan. Then we'll have more of an idea as to whether he's cut out for this division.

David Kelly 1117 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I've always felt that you need to have more ability if you're small than you do if you're bigger. I think this why most of the average players have more size about them. Clearly if you have the talent it doesn't matter if you're big or small. Many players over the years have proved that. None more so than Messi. I don't know whether Armstrong has the ability or not. I know he scored some very good goals for Coventry in league one last season so I'm confident there's some sort of player there. Until he gets a chance higher up the league we're never going to know how good he can be. There's some talk today about him going to Rotherham on loan and that sounds ideal to me. If he can do well there I'll be more confident we can have a good player on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerbarton 24 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good move. They're currently above us in the table having scored 12 goals already. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us when they pip us to second More likely he'll be useful in nicking more goals for them against our other rivals.

Howay 12462 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Aye bit odd loaning him to a side that are also in the promotion mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 They've had a great start but they're one of the favourites for relegation. Obviously Leicester showed last season that anything can happen, but I'd expect them to fall away pretty quickly. Think this is a great move for him tbh.

Tooj 17 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Good to see. Woodman is quite highly rated isn't he? Best thing for his career being away from his slug of a father as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 And Armstrong missed a pen. Not the best day for either of them. Although Woodman has been called up to the U21's since the mackems keeper has withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12462 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hopefully he scores one like that past the utter tramps Villa the match after we pump them 3-0. If he can show he can still get amongst the goals at this level like he did the level below I think Rafa will have a good problem picking out of him and Gayle.

David Kelly 1117 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Was an outstanding goal. If he can do that then it looks like he's got the ability to make his size irrelevant. Scored some belters for Coventry last term too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
