Tom Eaves spotted at Bloomfield road

Would be happy. Always scores against us it would seem and always a handful. Just glad I won’t have to watch him come on after 70 minutes when we’re defending a 1-0 lead !

*Is* it Tom Eaves though ?
 
Not in the Rotherham team at Lincoln today … but hasn’t played at all in pre-season because of injury

Interestingly Ollie tried to sign him in the Prem season when he was a teenager at Oldham …
 
Looks like he’s speaking with Jonty so you’d maybe expect it to be a commercial guest. No sign of an agent. I hope it’s not him
 
Big unit and just what we need for league 1. He's good in the air and in the Gary Madine mould a good old fashioned centre forward.
 
We could also sign that lad from Falkirk, Dodd Gee. Then we'd have Dod Gee, Roofe and Eaves. And look mate it's not gonna be cheap, but I've been in the trade 20 years and know what I'm doing..........
A bit like the Newcastle builders who get lots of phone enquiries, but they ring off quickly when the Geordie receptionist greets them with, " Good Morning, Weir, Norfolk and Goode".
 
Madine still did nothing !
Madine was one of our better players when we went up. Without him, Yates wouldn't have had the space to work in and get the goals. He occupied defenders and dragged them out of position. It's not a coincidence that we started playing better when he and Yates started playing upfront together. Go and have a look at Yates first open play goal for us agaist Burton, if Madine doesn't drag their whole defence across to the right by taking their CH with him, Yates doesn't have the room to run into on the left and score. Alot of what Madine did that season went under appreciated.
