Sinclair Armstrong

[Rich]

all this hype on this lad is ridiculous! We have had 2 managers now that see the lad for what he is a decent young lad with potential but no where near ready to play championship football! Look at chair and eze loan spells at Stevenage and Wycombe pulled up trees great performances, Sinclair went to national league twice and hardly scored a goal! He has been linked with clubs due to having a decent agent let’s be honest if Man City were genuinely interested you honestly think he would still be playing for our U23s? People hate on dykes he played Wealdstone scored a hat tick showed his level, Sinclair comes in does ok but doesn’t score in same amount of time but is in some way so much better then dykes?

Opinions are like back sides, we've all got them. Right now Dykes experience would see him fair better I agree. Give Sinclair half a dozen sub appearances and full games in cups by November/December he's better than Dykes. This isn't a Dykes (or any other striker hate post) it's a "sinclair will be better" post. IMO

Don’t care how old he is or who he has played against. He’s definitely better than any other striker at the club. I’ve only needed to watch him a couple of time, watch highlights & read up on who else have been interested in him in the past. Needs to be playing, we won’t go up or down without him so no risk even if he wasn’t our best striker

He is Older than Ray Jones when he was scoring in the first team!

When we were relegated in 79 something, we were crying for a goalscorer. We had Clive Allen at the time, just 18 or 19 years old and scoring for fun at youth level. We did not risk him, however, when relegation was confirmed he played the last two games and scored five goals! For sure, I remember him scoring three against Coventry!

Players at 19/20 should be making 1st team squad.

Armstrong will get better playing and training with 1st Team. I want him to become a fixture on bench at matches, getting some minutes on pitch.

Doubt he'll be 1st choice 1st half of season, maybe towards end of season, he could be.

We'll only find out if we try.

Not given a squad number. Niko has though!!! God help us!! Lol

[72bus]

Give him a game against Blackburn , age doesn't matter he's hardly a kid .

Good idea. Put a player who has never played a league game and was only used as a substitute for Torquay in the National League straight into Championship football against seasoned pros. Should help his development no end.

I started playing senior football at 15yrs and left one club at 16yrs because they didn't want to play me too often to "protect me". The following season i played every game at a higher level.

If we play him he won't get kicked off the park; he will just appear as useless as Dykes. As John Hartson said once, he was more nervous making his debut for WBA at 30+ than he was making his Arsenal debut at 19.....!

Given he’s part of the youth set up, does he need a squad number? I’m assuming he can be selected regardless which im sure will be the case …… hopefully!

No, he doesnt need a squad number. Due to his age he can be exuded from the squad and still play.

Absolute joke. Given no squad number now…. Not like we spend big money we need our youngsters and he should be playing. Fuming
