I don't think they've got any fit strikers at all from what I can tell from their friendly lineups.RC_CAFC said:
If they start this season with a strikeforce of Ahadme and Burstow, I’ll not be putting any money on them going up!MarcusH26 said:https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2025/july/28/burstow-joins-bolton-on-loan/
Stand down! Mason Burstow has gone to Bolton on loan.

Well, let's hope we can land him or we'll have to wing it, and our season may not take off.Laddick01 said:
Seen rumours that Knibbs is actually a plane fan. The proximity to London City Airport swung the deal our way.LTKapal said:For Knibbs wouldnt it make more sense to go to Wrexham because of the closer proximity to the York Railway Mueseum
Whether we want someone like that at the club is a different matter.1 -
Based on Knibbs signing, Berry, Burke, Godden, Mannion and Taylor being out injured, and working on the assumption that Ahadme leaves, and Kanu and Asiimwe head out on loan within the next two weeks, I expect us to line up as follows against Watford…
GK – Kaminski
RCB – Ramsey
CB – Jones
LCB – Bell
RWB/RW – Apter
LWB – Edwards
CM – Coventry
CM – JRC
CAM – Knibbs
FW/LW – Tanto
FW – Kelman
Subs:
AMB
Z Mitchell
Macca
Docherty
Anderson
Carey
TC
Leaburn

Wing it? Are we bringing Lewis Wing in too in a double Reading deal?

they have been playing two inexperienced kids, read they are after at least two senior strikers.MarcusH26 said:

What’s Burkes injury? Do we even know if he is long term?0

What's everyone's thoughts on Doc. Will NJ drop him to the bench? I find it hard to believe he won't play against Watford1

I know what Callum meant - both are known for their work rate and knack of pressing very effectively.PWADDICK said:
With due respect, he’s nothing like KaroyCallumcafc said:Knibbs is basically Karoy Anderson but with the ability to score goals.
Probably true for all our midfield and striker signings though, as NJ won’t sign players in those positions who can’t or won’t run and press all day - similar has also been said about Olaofe and JRC.
Anderson’s future for me is likely as a box to box midfielder, while Knibbs can as a 10, on the wing or up front. The one game Anderson played in that position he struggled and NJ soon changed it.

I might be going mad but didn't someone try Karoy at RWB and it was a complete disaster??0
-
Think it was probably meant as in winning the ball back in high areas. Neither are especially rapid but both seem to have very good acceleration so are quicker than most players over short 5-10 yard distances. Which is perfect for winning the ball back in a press, which it looks like he does in a similar way to KaroyBraziliance said:
Completely unfair to compare Karoy to Knibbs.Callumcafc said:
He looks pretty Karoy-like in a couple of these clips…PWADDICK said:

Knibbs is an established high end League 1 player who is ready for the championship.
Karoy wouldn't be able to stand out like Knibbs has in League 1 and look as comfortable for 3 seasons in a row, especially with those attacking numbers. Sorry but it's true.
Whether or not Karoy gets better we don't know, but right now he's not even close to him or similar.
Knibbs obviously has way more quality on the ball and going forward than Karoy, which is why he’s a number 10 and Karoy will end up as more a box to box ball winner1 -
Yeah but to say they're the same player except for the goals, come on.TheHerminator said:
you can still compare the two without saying they're identical. I also see a lot of similarities with Knibbs being a much more rounded player clearlyBraziliance said:

Harvey Knibbs will more or less be a guaranteed starter in a championship side this season, Karoy was a bench player for a League 1 promoted side.
Karoy has a decent ceiling, but I have seen nothing of Karoy to suggest he is similar to Knibbs.
Maybe I am underrating him, but saying he is Knibbs without the goals is overrating him for sure imo.4 -

What a nice station it was with its covered walkways. From recollection, the last time I used it was on the way back from Fulham Away.DennisBooth said:
Eltham Park Station that is a blast from the past.Redrobo said:A taxi left Sparrows at about 17:30 last night and headed towards Eltham Park Station.
I remember well Eltham Park station, and using the Bexleyheath line.
Opened in 1908 and with more impressive adornment, especially to appeal to the more refined prospective buyers envisaged of the new Corbett Estate, then being built around it.
When first opened, superior to other stations on the line, it even had available a 1st class ticket holder facility, plus separate Ladies waiting rooms with toilets.
Even during the late 60s, 70s and early 80s when I knew it, it still retained a faded elegance.
It was closed in 1985 with the widening of the A2 and the building of the new Eltham station across the road from Eltham Well Hall station, also closed at the same time.

The excitement of squeezing as many new signings into the team as possible.Redhenry said:why is everyone leaving out Doch? Surely he starts
JRC on paper should be an upgrade on Doc, but things don’t always play out how you’d expect.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of the new players are on the bench to start with, rather than all being thrown in from the start.1 -
Could actually see Doc and JRC start alongside Coventry in midfield against Watford
