So as a complete newbie, what can I expect from this Vetokele character then?
First game we saw of him, at Brentford in Championship when we first signed him, every time he picked up the ball the entire Brentford team were terrified of him.
Very fast, quick feet and has a good leap on him too.
so in a few weeks we may see a 4-4-2 with taylor and vetokele up top, grant a fosu on the wings and pratley and aribo in the centre. That 11 should be a match for most teams in this division, will be more of a case of trying to keep them all fit.

Karlan is wasted on the wing. I don't think its any coincidence that he has started to look a good player since he's been played through the middle.

Not sure that'd be a match for most teams in the division - for a start there's only 6 of em...
Our first 11 even if we could have them fit for 20 games together could do very well with consistency. Steer Solly, Pearce, Bauer, Page Grant, Aribo, Pratley, Fosu Taylor, Vetokele
Still Clarke to come back as well who looked very good before his injury. Just a shame the likelihood is they’ll probably do 5 games max together.
If we can get all of that little lot back in the squad then we definitely have a chance of the play-offs again – especially if we can keep Fosu fit for an extended period, as he is a game changer.
However the squad nowhere near automatic promotion quality, as we only have one left back and one right back (who is half crocked anyway).
The one big worry is Darren Pratley, as is he gets injured I just don’t know how we would replace him.
“Igor joined in training today [Monday], which is a big positive. And we have, hopefully, got the rest of them coming back into training apart from Billy Clarke from Monday.
“We’ve got to be careful with them, we can’t rush them and chuck them all back in at the deep end. It’s good to start getting some bodies back because it seems like they have been out forever.
“What them coming back does is create competition for places and it makes our bench stronger. The lads who have been involved from the start of the season have done well, they have all taken everything on board and have worked hard.
“For the lads coming back now, they will have to fight to get into the team, for sure.”
How the fuck does a club manage to start a season with an injury crisis?
I am sure that back in the day teams used to start the season with a fully fit squad and then have players get injured periodically over the season!

When you only have 14 senior players in the first team squad more than one injury constitutes a "crisis".
I'm sure Vetokele will be used as a sub for his first few games back, then if he stays fit, it could be a case of resting Grant (who is only 20) or Taylor.
KG to replace IV as and when needed. He's not a 90 minute man.
I'd take that until January.
Karlan and Taylor have both had an impact this season as such I think Igor has to regain his place, when he does it will be to replace Karlan as Taylor has a bit more about him.

Welcome to Roland's World ... party on, dudes!
We did have a particularly bad summer though to be fair. Leaving aside Clarke who was injured last season
Igor, Reeves, Fosu all picking up injuries in pre season JFC out for the season days before the start Djiksteel catching pneumonia And then lost Pearce during the first match of the season
How much that is bad luck, and how much is down to conditioning or having injury prone players is debatable.

Glad he's back to fitness and can bring much needed competition, if he can be as good as he was a few years ago then brilliant. But right now don't want to see Grant/Taylor's partnership to get disrupted at this point. When was the last time we had an upfront partnership that turned out 4 goals in 3 games?

Yes, we don't need to rush him back. It would be nice to be able to bring him off the bench after 70 minutes though

This season won't get going until Billy Clarke is back in the side.
