KOA Fans Social: McKenna Celtic links, current mood and QPR trip

33:07Maybe that's where we'll be playing on Saturday. We'll see. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that runs out because Jack Taylor did really well when he started on Saturday in centre mid. But traditionally, you think he might be the one who might play a bit higher up the pitch as well because he's got that in his game. that might link the midfield to the kind of the attacker a little bit so it would be interesting to see who he gives the 10 to because I know we'll talk about Sammy in a minute and probably about Akpom as well but there's going to be an opportunity for somebody and whether that's Nunes as you said Steve or whether that's Egley maybe gets moved into the 10 or he's McAteer yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see Nunes and Taylor both feature a little bit more maybe one of them playing the 10 depending on the opposition maybe even see Jens playing the 10 with Matt Ossie and Taylor behind him I don't know I don't know if he's really played him before but you never know just to experiment if we're lacking options then potentially but I think he'll be probably down the list of potential for tens because, yeah, of course, Eggly can play there.

34:30And as you mentioned, Steve, I think Casey McIntyre can play there if needed as well. So, but yeah, we might as well talk about it boys because, yeah, so he's what it's posted on his, on his socials. He's undergone surgery on his knee, which, you know, he came off injured once again on the weekend. Just can't catch a break, can he? I think I jinxed him in preseason. and I said he was going to be top goal scorer. I mentioned this on the flagship show and I went, yeah, I've jinxed him because he's just getting setback after setback, you know, in the previous trip with Ireland. I think actually the last two international breaks, he's had to pull out because of an injury, which is a shame because we know he can be a threat at this level.

35:13And I think last year, even in the Premier League, I thought he did really well. But yeah, boys, it's disappointing to see. We're going to, actually, John, you've got to, in front of you, mentioned what he sort of made another post on socials. I think it's more aimed at the Irish fans because he's been getting a little bit of hate, actually. Yeah. He said, thank you to on the mend after a minor knee-up, thank you for all the supportive messages. Also, thank you for the keyboard warriors that know more about my life and my situation than I do. The last two weeks have been nothing shy of ridiculous, the amount of hate messages me and my family received over the recent international football concerns injury comes with playing games and so rest is and rest is so important otherwise things like this happen question my ability and performances but never my professionalism looking um looking to be back asap so you know i think for me that certainly is a more the irish um fans or small element of for Irish fans, I would imagine, because I've never once heard a town fan

36:24comment on his effort. I've never heard anybody slate him for anything. We might be disappointed that he hasn't scored more goals. Maybe he's disappointed he doesn't play in the position that he has for when he's had success in the past. But for me, whether it was in the Premier League when he was playing kind of left 10, or whether he's playing in the 10, for us now, his work rate and his energy and his professionalism are up there with anybody else. And, you know, we were talking just before we came on air Ross about what he also brings to the team as well as his energy is he seems to be the one who's mentoring Egerly and kind of giving him when to kind of guidance, when to push on, when to, when to make that kind of press happen.

37:11and, you know, we lost a fair few experienced players over the summer. Sammy Morsi at the top of that list. So to have someone like Schmoddix, who is an international and who has played for us in the Premier League, to be stepping up and being a leader on the pitch, I think there's different hats people wear and that's one of the hats as well. So we obviously wish Sammy the speedy and full recovery because we want him to see him back fitting well. I've got nothing but positives to say about his effort and his work rate. I enjoy seeing him play. I'll never forget him scoring that Spurs away last season.

37:48That was a terrific away day. And he's given us lots of moments in the Premier League already last year. And I'm sure he'll come good. So rest up and get well soon, Sammy. And don't listen to any of the keyboard warriors. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, Steve, he still needs to score at Porton Road, doesn't he? He hasn't scored. He scored all his goals away. Hopefully he'll be able to do that. But, yeah, another minor setback for him. It's, you know, disappointing because he actually spoke to AJ in the summer, said, I've never been injured. I'm not an injury-prone player. And sadly, that maybe backfired on him, actually, because he's had all these injuries.

38:22But, yeah, he's a player that I think is going to be so important to this team. It's just getting that right position and just getting fully fit. Yeah, I do agree with a lot of what John just said. You know, I don't think he's truly playing in the position that truly suits him. You know, the goals were scored for Blackburn up top. But, you know, he's got his head down. As far as I can see, he grafts. He doesn't shy from, you know, putting himself out there. And, you know, I think we do lack some characters in the team, some leaders, you know, with, you know, before, you know, Longo and Morsi and Chaplin and people like that, you saw as leaders on the pitch.

39:02I don't quite see that around it. But, you know, as John said, you can see this, the way he's working with Ayer Wigley in terms of getting him out there and sort of giving a few pointers. It's something that, you know, I think the guy's a really decent guy and he's doing the best he can from that position. Hasn't quite worked for him. But, you know, the Man City game, I'll throw that one in from last season, where he sort of was playing off that left-hand side of the left 10. And made a great breakthrough at the centre. to score the goal that gave us that lead, which then came back and bit us quite quickly after that.

39:41It woke Man City up. But, you know, he gave us some really nice moments last year, some of our better moments. So, you know, I hope people don't get on his back because I don't think it's particularly fair on him as a character. Yeah, definitely. And we'll get on to our potential start 11 boys for the QPR game because, yeah, the number 10 will be very interesting because, of course, Atpom came off injured as well. so yeah we'll be asking you guys who you go for for the number 10 but let's have a little break pause in play to do a bit of funny stuff a bit of the strike as Steve and John go head to head of course play at home ladies gentlemen let us know your answers so John Steve don't look in the comments if you have got the comments up we've got five questions plus a tiebreaker as standard and then yeah we'll see who's going to be champion of the strike this week.

40:32So, first question is on Christian Walton, who, of course, made his 100th town appearance against West Brom, kept a clean sheet, which is good. It was good to see him back. Of course, Alex Palmer's injury gives an opportunity for Christian Walton to play, which is good. Didn't really have much to do, really, Christian, did he? So, not much to really discuss there. But Christian Walton, how many clean sheets has he kept in 100 games so far. So, there's no options. You just have to basically guess, and whoever gets closest gets the point. If you're going to bang on, boys, double the points. 100 games, Christian Walton.

41:11So, you've got one clean sheet there with a Westbrook game. How many clean sheets do you reckon he has kept in 100 town games so far? Hopefully, many more to come. But yeah, what do you reckon, boys? Of course, there was a lot in the League One season. Championship season, Well, he did play, actually, did he? So, likely played. What do you reckon then, boys? For me, 32. 1-3, 2. Okay. John? I've gone lower. I've said 18, Ross. 18? Yeah, yeah. He dipped 23 in the League One season. You're wrong. You're wrong. I was going to say 18 and the 23. Yeah, yeah, yeah. you had so many games when we conceded so yeah I'm out of this already yeah sorry John but I'm just going to take you out of that straight away so Steve you are the closest you haven't got it wrong you haven't got it right I mean but it's 42 so you got the two right but yeah it was close but yeah 42 so not too bad of course they kept the clean sheet in the Premier League last year for the Chelsea game so there we go so that's fair enough John there was a few moments in in the League One season.

42:27Of course, I think on his debut, he conceded five, didn't he, in that game against Bolton. So it wasn't a great debut for him, but he obviously had a very good League One season. So yeah, sorry, John, but Steve does get the point. And sorry for jumping on you there. I was just like, 18? 18? Yeah. I deserve that. I deserve that. Yeah. Yeah. Who else said in the comments? I think that was David. He went 24. So that's probably still, I still think that's a bit too low. But, 32, I think, is a solid answer there, Steve. So, 1-0 to you. Question two. And the next questions are on birthdays this week for former town players.

43:06And question two is on Kevin Horlock, who, of course, is now manager at Mould and a Titry. That is not the answer. The question, sorry. What squad number did he wear, though, during his time at town? Was it 11, 16, or 21? Kevin Horlock turns 53 on Saturday. So when we're at QPR, he'll be celebrating his 53rd birthday. But yeah, he's at Moulden and Tuchery now as their manager. And yeah, that wasn't going to be the question because that would have been a giveaway quickly. Like, who does he manage? And then I mentioned who he managed already. But yeah, squad number time for Kevin Horlock. How many?

43:42No, yeah, what's the squad number during his time at town? 11, 16 or 21 boys. What do you reckon?

43:51I don't know if you can see it, man. 21. 21. Okay, John. 21. 21. You're both wrong. It was actually 11. So there we go. 11 was Kevin Horlock's number at town. Question three is on a legendary player for town, Stern John. Remember him? Who had a loan spell at town. He celebrates his birthday. He's 49 on Thursday. Good old Stern John. but he's the current manager of which Caribbean nation? Is that Barbados, Dominican Republic, or St. Lucia? So, yeah, Stern John, of course, obviously a Trinidad and Tobago legend. He just scored one goal for town on his loan spell. I think it was from Crystal Palace who was on loan.

44:41But, yeah, Stern John, 49 this week. What do you reckon, boys? Barbados, Dominican Republic, or St. Lucia? Who does he manage? St Lucia yes you are both correct he is the manager of St Lucia so he's 2-1 to Steve going into question 4 and this question is on another legendary loan player Frazier Richardson who I don't know if you remember him he had a loan spell I think in the 2013-14 season and he had a loan spell at town from which club was it Leeds United Middlesbrough or Southampton he turns 43 today so happy birthday to Fraser Richardson if you can remember Fraser I think he was a right back wasn't he or a right midfielder but yeah one of the Mick McCarthy's many loans but yeah was it Leeds Middlesbrough or Southampton he was on loan at town but yeah I think I don't know how many games I think he only played like 7 or 8 games but I need to play to celebrate at their birthday this week, and he was one of them.

45:51So I was clutching at straws, I have to admit. But what do you reckon, boys? Leeds, for me. Leeds? Burra. Oh, this makes it interesting, because it is Burris, John. It is Burra. He did have a spell at Leeds, though. Steve. And he also played it for Southampton, so I tripped her a little bit there. I did all of these three clubs he's played for. and yeah, Buduzbaric was the lone spell so it's 2-2, it's Desmond going into question 5 the final question and you can somewhat say this play is controversial these days because of what's happened in the summer and that is Amari Hutchison because he celebrates his 22nd birthday tomorrow, Thursday how many goals did Amari score for town in 82 games?

46:42so if you get it bang on, double the points closest to the correct answer gets the point. But yeah, it's an interesting one about Homare boys, isn't it? Because of what happened in the summer. How are you feeling about it? We won't discuss it too much because I'm sure it's been discussed. But when you hear Homare's name, how do you feel about it? Disappointed. Because it hasn't really worked out for him as well. Yeah. So he's now only his third manager and not starting for any of the three. Yeah. I love Homare and I think, imagine him being in the 10 now yeah imagine him being a 10.

47:21but what what a cracking little player i just feel it's a bit of a waste really but yeah but yeah we've got um i thought yeah it's obviously had to be a question so um yeah how many games how many goals sorry did he score in 82 games boys what do you reckon? I'll go 14 14 13 John you scrub it out though what did you scrub it out originally? Well I started writing down 4 because I thought he scored 4 last year but then I think it was actually only 3 so then I was thinking no it's the season before I think he got 10 in the championship I can't remember if it's 13 or 14 someone has got a bang on and that man is Steve it is 14 so there we go Steve gets a dollar point so he makes it 4-2 so he has won as the original champion but as always Steve there is a tiebreaker so you're going to gamble my friend yeah go for it love it always always got to gamble yes yeah true but yes tiebreaker time is linked to Koopiart as we're about to preview the game.

48:40How many times have Tam won at Loftus Road in 42 games? So John has to get it bang on to take the crown. Steve, you can still play. You can still guess yourself. You can make it even a bigger lead to walk away as the strike champion. But can John get it bang on? 42 games, John, at Loftus Road. We haven't actually got a good record there, actually. We, of course, lost one there last time around. That's all right. We did win there once last season, the promotion winning season, Connor Chaplin scoring that goal to win 1-0. In 42 games, how many times have we won? Locked this road. What do you reckon, John?

49:23I've gone with about 18. 18. All right. And Steve, what do you reckon? I'm going to go with eight. I think it's single figures. I've been there since about mid-80s when they plastic pitch and I remember getting beat that day and it never really got on much better after that until Connor Chaplin's goal Yeah Yeah, it's one of those definitely booger grounds There was some good success in the 2000s to be fair, I still remember there's one game I went to as a kid, Darren Curry scoring on his debut, a 4-2 win as a few others but in 42 games it's just kind of won 12 times so so close John but not close enough but Steve has won overall speech my friend thank you very much well done John fine margins all you cliches like that go to management speakers always congratulations Steve Steve won love that love that um but yeah there's um yeah as nick muller's put in the chat there's been many draws there has been a lot of draws as well actually let me quickly find the overall um normally i do have it actually written down but this this time around ladies gentlemen i'm very disorganized as i normally am um but yeah 12 wins in total i'm quickly going to get up the wins and draws as Well, no, defeats and draws.

50:54Let me quickly get it up as I want to... Yes, so in total, there's been 30... No, no, the way games. 11, no, yeah, no. Where am I going here? 12 wins, 8 draws and 22 defeats. So, yeah, 22 defeats, a lot of road. Hopefully that won't be the case this weekend, boys. QPR. Let's talk about them. The R's, the Hoops, their ninth in the table. Five wins, three draws, four defeats so far. How are you feeling for this one, John? They lost last one out against Derby, which is probably a disappointing defeat against the Rams, a 1-0 defeat there. They've had some good results. They've had some bad results.

51:42They beat Swansea. They lost against Millwall. They beat Bristol City. they've had some good results but some bad results they lost 7-1 of course against Coventry first games of the season but yeah, thoughts on them?

52:01I think a little bit like I was saying earlier on aren't they the typical championship side? In the sense of a bit of everything, on the day you can play really good football often not quite consistent enough. I would settle for another 1-0, if I'm being honest. I would settle for a hard-fought, organised, similar kind of performance to West Brom. Clearly, I would prefer us to go and score three, but, you know, I don't know. I just think it's going to be probably a tight game. But we shouldn't be too worried about going there, I don't think. You know, maybe it's a chance for us to go and have our first away win of the season really and go and actually perform and get some points away from home.

52:52Not too worried. QPR are a funny side for me, they always have been over the years. You know, obviously memorable players at various points but never quite really been that special.

53:13I fancy this for either a 1-0 or a 2-1 fairly tight game I would imagine but yeah let's see where this takes us Yeah he's a tight pitch and yeah AD went one of the worst away ends in my opinion yeah I don't think it's great like you are really close to the pitch so at least you're really close to the action I remember when Conor Chaplin scored his goal you know a few years back it was like he was right you know I was able to like celebrate with the fans which is very good But, yeah, Steve, they've got a Frenchman in charge, Julian Stephane, I think. I probably completely butchered that. Steve Arnard, I don't know.

53:47But, yeah, he's a Frenchman who, of course, got appointed this summer because their previous manager decided to go to Leicester. He was like, yep, I want to go on gardening leave and went to Leicester. So, yeah, he's had to build a little bit of the team this summer. They signed Richard Kone from Wickham. He's their striker up top. But, yeah, what do you think about this game? I think it's a bit, going back to what John said earlier about the way that this league looks, QPR, ninth in the table. But they don't resonate with me. To be honest, when you've said it, I didn't quite realise they were ninth because they just go about their business.

54:24They've won some, they've lost some. And as you say, they got absolutely spanked by Coventry earlier in the season. So fair play, they actually bounce back off that. But yeah, it's the sort of game I hope to win but you know that's you know we've never been great at Loftus Road the tight pitch and all that and I just hope we get that the Chaplin type of moment where we just need to get that goal preferably early set or bring them out because they'll sit back on us and they'll counter us even at home I suspect and I think that'll be the hard part for us breaking teams down like this so So, yeah, I think I'm hoping for a win, obviously, because I'll be going.

55:13But a draw there wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It's a case of just now building that momentum away from home. Yeah, definitely. And this is a game, I think, at the end of the season, you look back on and hopefully win promotion. And these are the sort of games you need to just get a good result. And, yeah, I remember Conor Chapman's goal, I think it was just a really good clinical finish from him. But yeah, John, let's talk about the team because there's going to be some talking points. I'm hoping Al McKenna will have a settled side now, but there's obviously some question marks, especially in the 10 position, or maybe even up front.

55:49Does Olyvanna Zond get another start here? And then centre-half, Kipre, Greaves, do you stick with Kipre or do you bring back Greaves? How are you feeling about it all and who would you start? I'm rubbish at picking the side at the moment because every time I say something, it seems to go the opposite way to what I've been thinking. I mean, it's clear that Walton, I hope I don't jinx him, it's clear he'll start with Palmer being out. Davis has been an ever-present start in this season, so he'll be left back. And you imagine that Furlong will keep his right back slot. would it be a surprise if he brought Ashley Young back in?

56:32Possibly not, but I would imagine he'll keep Furlong. O'Shea will be Skipper, presumably, and I think it's on a knife edge, really, a 50-50 on Kipre or Graves. I remember at the KOA live pod, Ross, I was the only person in the room who wanted Graves to start over Burgess at the time, and everybody else was like, mock me. And now we have the same debates over Kipre and Graves. With Graves being a whole lad and my dad being a whole supporter, I think I probably got a bit of a soft spot for him because I saw him play for Hull quite a few times and I always liked him. And like I said before, he's, you know, last August, he was one of our best players when he first came to Portman Road and then he had his injury and it hasn't quite happened.

57:21I think he's got the makings of being a really good player, but he's just got that error in him at the moment. so I'd probably stick with Kipre if I'm being honest, it sounds like I'm being a bit hypocritical but Kipre didn't do much wrong on Saturday for me and that gives that solid same back four or back five Manassegwa has to start doesn't he and you would imagine Philogene will start, I mean there'll be some people talking about Jack Clark deserving his chance but for me I would probably start with Philogene and then And the places I haven't named are the ones that are really up for grabs for me.

58:00I think I would start McAtee on the right and leave Egerle on the bench this time. McAtee needs to have a bit of a chance. He hasn't even got off the bench the last few weeks. He might be the one who comes in for me. I would probably play Taylor alongside Matasewa. because I thought they both did well. Well, I thought Taylor was actually one of the best outfield players on Saturday. Mattisie was a little bit off for me, but he's definitely one of my favourite players, and I think he's been overall that so far he will definitely start. I'd probably leave Jens on the bench, and I'd probably go with Steve Schotter of starting Nunes in the 10 for this game.

58:48I don't like us criticising our players too much, or certainly the Boos, but Hurst for me is not on form and doesn't look confident at the moment. So I'd probably start Azan up front and give Hurst the run off the bench. That would probably be my starting team. How about you, Steve? Yeah, Steve, yeah. Far away. Any other changes? Not a huge amount. I think I have a feeling that he might play Greaves just because Kone's big and pacey. And he has a little bit of a horse of the courses sort of look. You know, he's done that with Edmondson and he's done it with Burgess previously, where he'll flip people out for certain targets.

59:33So when we played Hull, you know, Burgess was suddenly out. Edmondson played just a mark-up against the lap. Maybe he'll go with Greaves just on that basis of his pace over Kipri's pace. Could be enough to tip it. And I think probably Caduceus had two matches out of the starting line-up. I won't fancy you're probably flipping back in, but you're quite right. Taylor was probably one of our best players on Saturday, in my opinion. I thought he was great all-round, getting forward and getting back, and he had a lot of energy. And I think you're probably right. McIntyre will probably play right, a little bit more solid on the right-hand side, and that's probably what you're going to go with away from home.

1:00:16Start with that rather than to regularly sort of plan there in this match. Yeah, and I think probably, personally, I would play Nunes in that 10 sort of role where he can drop back into an 8. And if they want to go to the 3 in centre midfield, they can. If not, he can have just free run between that area. And I think I agree with you, Azon, probably up top. Yeah, hopefully that's the match in which he breaks his duck. He's had a lot of poor luck with hitting the post and keeper saving and, you know, sort of Clark scoring. But he's contributing. And that's got to be sort of in his mind. it's not that he's not contributing he's actually making valuable contributions and also I think teammates aren't finding his runs, he's actually looking for some really good angles but nobody's actually delivering the ball for him to run onto whether they're delaying it too long, whether they're not used to that style of striker to actually make runs in behind that's what he's looking to do but he's just not getting that run in option I think if you start Nunes I think Nunes is the sort of player who would pick out those runs, possibly more so than it.

1:01:27I know Schmoenek and Akpom, we don't know 100 % about Akpom, but we think he's unlikely to be fit. And Schmoenek is certainly out. So I think if Nunes does start in the 10, I thought, although they were playing against tired legs, I thought Nunes and Azan seem to have a bit of a more of an understanding of potential blend there. So that might be quite an interesting combination. Yeah, you have that language element as well. The two can speak in Spanish to each other, where you're not having to sort of think and listening to instructions in English on the pitch. You know, particularly with a lot of noise around you, you could actually, that might well help the two of them settle as well.

1:02:08But Nunez is settling, but he hasn't given his knowledge for them yet. So you know, it's about getting everybody into that sort of zone. you know what more I think about it boys sorry sorry Ross I didn't mean to talk across you there I was just saying I wonder if presumably the Akpom is out for at least a week or two I wonder if we see Humphries on the bench for the first time to give a bit of versatility as cover because he he could play the 10 I know McKenna's not played him in the 10 but he did play there last season when he was out on loan didn't he so he did I'm not saying he should put him in the start of the 10 but he could certainly be on the bench as an option there Yeah you're right, his best games for Wickham were in the attacking role and it probably maybe it's 2-2 but he got down the 21 game under his belt sort of last weekend as well so you know maybe who knows but you're probably right there because there will be a spot on the bench anyway if you lose Modric Zanakpon so he'd be a wise point yeah big chance for him to get involved the more you guys talk about and especially you John mentioned Ivan starting I'm putting him down as my first goal scorer I'm going to get predictions underway I actually I think on the predictions show we did a few weeks back I put this down as a defeat for some reason I don't know I just thought KPR bogey team stuff like that bogey around and all that.

1:03:43This will be one game we'll just lose, annoyingly. That was before the Cholton game and other things. But I think this could be a draw, though. I don't know. I think this could be just one of those frustrating games. I want us to win away from home. I don't know if this will be it. I know it's negative, guys, but that's just how I'm feeling about it right now. But I think, yeah, maybe 1-1, Ivan is on to get a goal. What do you reckon, boys, Steve? I know you sort of mentioned yours, John, but have you got one in your mind? you're going to put it down on the paper? Leif Davis. He's going to get the first goal.

1:04:18Let's go 2-1. Davis, first goal. Nice. I like it. Steve, what do you reckon? I'll kind of go along with you, 2-1. Back of my mind, it'll be a draw. But, you know, maybe Nunes with a free kick, 2-1. I like it. Yeah. You know, obviously, I want to put it down to win. I always want the Blues to win. But I don't know. Just think 1-1. David, to be fair. Fair play to Davies, gone 1-1 as well. Colin's gone 2-1, Itchwich. So, yeah, that's the scoreline of choice. But we shall see. Quick question here from Peter Michael. Do you think McAteer could come good with Itchwich, boys? Because, yeah, he's had a bit of a struggle, doesn't he?

1:04:56But I don't think he's had much opportunity. You know, he's had a few times where he started. But as we wrap up the fan, so just your quick thoughts on him, boys? yeah I think he has to come not necessarily come good but he hasn't given the best account of a true account of himself yet you know I saw him play against us for Leicester and he was certainly a better player against us than I've seen him play for us so far so whether he's just had a little bit of a knock or whether he's just had a found the move challenging or it just hasn't quite happened for him yet. I think if you've been critical, you look and think, you know, we're kind of waiting for Wes Burns to come back.

1:05:44Yet we spent money on Ogbeni and we spent money on Magaty and we spent a lot of money on Egilly and none of them, you know, Ogbeni's obviously been sent out on loan. None of them, that must be best part of 40 million there. None of them have grabbed it yet, have they? So the shirt's there. The place in the team's there to be grabbed by whoever wants it. And, yeah, let's see Jay-Z have his opportunity. I certainly, you know, I remember seeing him play against us both home and away last season, and I thought he was a decent player. So, yeah, let's see where it takes us. I hope he comes good. I hope he gets competitive and he works hard.

1:06:30He just needs one of the runs to be picked up. He's had a couple of hard chances when he perhaps could have scored as well. And one of those goes in and some of these he's feeling relaxed that he's, you know, walking differently. So, yeah, let's hope he can nick a goal or get a start and get a goal at some point. And then maybe his town career kicks on from there. Yeah, I'm sure you're going to that side, Steve, yeah? Yeah, I think you will. I think you will. You know, again, did he score against us last season? to Leicester. I think he did, didn't he? And so he did look good. Leicester fans were a bit critical of him when he left, that he won't get an awful lot out of him.

1:07:11Hasn't shown a huge amount yet, but it's that thing about your contribution. I don't quite know what his role is because he's the more solid one on the right of the options that you've had. We've played Clark or Philogene on the right and you've had Aigley, but actually he's the one who sort of seems to track back and support his right back a little bit more so maybe that is his role I don't know, to offer a bit of solidity in certain matches which is why I think he might play on Saturday but yeah I do hope he does because he sort of puts the effort in, he does make the effort, you're making that change to a new side, new system, new style you've just got to get used to it I suppose, it's a bit like a lot of them that you're new players into this and nobody on that right-hand side has actually stamped their print on it.

1:08:03And we haven't actually seen anybody say, I own this right wing because we've had all four of them play on the right wing at one point in that. And nobody has actually stood out in the way that Villagin has done on the left-hand side. So, yeah, time will tell, but hopefully it will. Yeah, definitely, boys. But, yeah, nice little question there to end the KOA fan social. John, Steve, thanks for joining me. I won't ask you for any other business just in case you do and we speak for even more longer but no thanks for joining me boys of course it's always good to chat to you and the KW Army getting their thoughts on Itchridge Town if you're listening after the show on audio we're live every Wednesday night 8pm well every other Wednesday it really depends if we've got a midweek game we won't be live but yeah hope you've enjoyed listening if you're going to the game enjoy it if not Father Courage of Us will be there.
