    The lanyard around Gallen's neck seems to suggest he was at Gillingham or a guest of Gillingham's. The tweet is from 31st July, they were away at Leyton Orient that day. Maybe we're looking at Paul Smyth, rated winger/striker, an area we're certainly lacking...
    Enhance
    Ahhh, cheers. Was a bit tired at 2.30 this morning!
    Yeah Fulham lanyard. 

    @Callumcafc's enhance post made me chuckle, thinking of every bad Sci Fi film where they seem to be able to boost the resolution using digital zoom though. 

    To be honest just saw the 'ham' and the colours and assumed it was Gillingham. The enhancement shows the Fulham badge on the lanyard anyway.

    Enhancement !!!! Wtf. A aged one eyed badger can see that a Fulham yanyard. There’s even a Fulham badge on the fence behind them.

    She’s done her hamstring. 6 weeks minimum.

    ok ok it was 2.30 after a 19 hour day! 

    Although I don't agree it's obvious normally (unless my laptop it shite). All I can see is a blue lanyard saying 'Ham' FC. 
  • Really disappointed to have missed out on Olgilvie.  He was just what we needed long term as moving forward we saw two years ago that Purrington isn't good enough for the championship. We showed with Stockley that we can compete with Pompey re wages.

    Since Wiggins we have lacked good overlapping pacy full backs. Becoming a really important position in the game these days, often the most athletic players fill these positions. 
    have u not seen our tea lady ?

    Agree with your second paragraph 100% and have been saying it for a while. Is Ogilvie that man though? I hear he wants to play CB which doesn’t scream overlapping fullback to me.

  • In fairness, SG’s quite open and chatty if you meet him. Really nice guy.

    the last good attacking full back we had was Jay da Silva. Must admit i was slightly disappointed signing Matthews again, thought we may have had better lined up.
    Same but then looking at the fact we haven't replaced key players, my stance on the resigning altered.

    He defends very well and gets in good crosses when he goes forward. Nobody else was crossing the ball at Fulham. 
  • Does anyone know what lanyard Gallen was wearing I've not seen anyone confirm yet...
    ;)

    I think we have genuinely forgotten what really good full-backs look like, to the point where competent ones get big love.
  • Would love to believe the Gallen rumour but would he really tell a random our transfer plans for the week...
    I expect he might insinuate his types of players we're talking to. I doubt he name dropped them. 

    He has form of giving a little, without telling all.

    I kind of get what you mean here Redhenry. I personally really like him and think he is "championship ready" but I see your point on the type of FB you think we need.
    Couldn't agree more on Jay De Silva he was a cracking little player. Before that, I was a huge fan of Nathan Byrne as well.

    Luke Young and Chris Powell.

    I remember when people used to say Young wasn't good enough and we needed better etc etc 

    Doesn't get enough love at all

    Have to disagree.

    Dijksteel was a quality attacking full back IMO, and I think you’ll do well to name more than 3 better right backs then Matthews in league one.
    I know Dijksteel very well, his physical attributes were good, not really an attacking full back though. Matthews average.

    agreed - matthews is decent but is not a major threat going forwards or a major obstacle defensively 
  • Think the left back position has been put on back burner because of budget. Purrington is more than competent at League one and we have Gunter who is a seasoned international having played at left back when required for his country. Not a long term fix with either of those two but if there are budget restrictions and money needs to be spent elsewhere then I can understand it.
