Would agree Corbray, but he’s unlikely to score unless he’s played more centrally.
If the ball is knocked upfront or a half chance is presented 10 times to either Dykes or Armstrong my money would be on the youngster converting.

Agreed Corbs, but Chair was 22 before he got a regular run of games here. Armstrong has just turned 19.

Clive Allen was scoring hat tricks at 18. If you're good enough, you'll old enough.

Any guesses why he mishits the ball so often? I've never seen anything like that before.

Players these days are under a hell of a lot more pressure and scrutiny. You're right. And what a terrible indictment on modern life, isn't it? And thank God Armstrong is not on social media when you have imbeciles posting stuff like that above tweet to players of teams they allegedly support. Would Clive Allen have been so prolific at 18 if he was that age today is an interesting question. I suspect he still would be, all things considered, because he was such a natural and brilliant talent. |

I think Twitter will be a different place in a few months mate. Apparently Elon Musk is gonna ask for all members to validate their profiles with an ID, in full expectation that the majority of members will be found to be bots.
It'll be interesting to see if the above is true. It's been my belief for a long time that most of the racism, abuse and negativity on that platform is not being posted by genuine accounts.

If your great grandmother's headstone was placed in the oppo penalty area, my money would be on her scoring more goals than the farking donkey. |

Yes, heard about that. Should be very interesting. Either way it’s current bloated model is totally broken and has been for years. Fired some of the bigwigs at the top too which was needed. How a multi billion dollar tech company haven’t had the ability to control the bot issue can’t have been beyond their wit. |

Maybe they didn't want to control it mate. The share price will take a nosedive if it's revealed 80% of it's users aren't genuine.

Oh for sure Tarbs, but they certainly will now. Share price halved in Q1 anyway.

Musk will be well aware of that. I think this whole Twitter purchase is a statement / PR stunt, rather than a genuine investment.

definitely an impact player, last half hour or so. Lacks composure and hopefully that will come with experience and guidance

As mentioned before he's extremely raw.
Blows out his arse quick & when he gets tackled he stays down a bit longer than I'd like to see. Just get up and get on with it ffs! But you can see there is a player in there.
He's been thrown into the deep end because of how lacking we are up front. Roberts is proving to be a liability and Dykes is just shit as we know.
If fans get on this kids back they need to have a serious word with themselves.

At one point last season he was loaned to Aldershot but was allowed to keep training during the week with our first team squad under Warburton.
This season looks to been mainly wasted in terms of gaining any meaningful game time for either the U21s or first team football here or out on loan.
For me it’s criminal that he’s not played ahead of Dykes or at a minimum as a regular impact sub.
With 7 match day subs allowed to be named alongside the first eleven why are we including the likes of Thomas etc when we are supposed to be a development club intent on promoting youngsters like Armstrong or Kolli?

Not sure if Armstrong is any better striker that Shodipo is a midfielder tbh.

Get him when fit straight into the team as if nothing else he can run and cause the defenders to actually play their game. Yes he is green and raw but if the option is playing this lad or Dykes then it really is a no brainer.
