No better than Doble imo so what's the point we have our own youngsters who need game time !

 

is he not? Can you describe both players in some detail as many of us on here haven't seen either player at all. Whichis quicker, better int he air, better touch, movement, do they come short, run the channels, dribble, shoot from long range, good in the air, can they beat a man, sharp, work hard across the line, create or finish, goal hangers. I think you get the picture.

he's away....with wales.

 

This is a good signing, along with Antonio and hal-robson kanu this is one of readings promising players.

 

Very quick, strong and powerful. If you want a comparison he's kind of like a young Patrick Agymang - i've seen him play once or twice.

My son is a mate of a senior Reading first team player, I got him to ask about Bignall. 'He's good, really quick and strong, a bit raw at times, but has got a great strike on his left foot, can play wide, but is better up the middle'. He sounds like a good signing if only for the short term.

just as long as we don't get too many sarcastic comments about NA having to empty out the cells to make up a team !

 

lol, that occurred to me as well, NA's team selection on friday night- "ok, who's fit, in form and out on bail?"

I'm sure many will whinge that he isn't Antonio. Sounds promising, he plays for Reading who play at a higher level than us, so beggars can't be choosers. I hope he starts.
Wouldn't get too worked up yet. This lad is a Reading reserve, not a first team player, which is why they are willing to send him out on loan. This is probably the best we can do, but its encouraging that they have brought somebody in, even if it is for a short period. There's no reason to think he will be anything special, but he is striker which suggests he may do better than one of our midfield players played out of position.

 

He may well be behind Goble in the pecking order and how long he stays could depend on what happens to Barnard. If Barnard's future with the club depends on his assault case, a better long term option will be needed.
