Alright, granted he wasn't born at the JR and probably doesn't have ancestory in Oxfordshire going back to the Doomsday book. However, he has been with our youth set up since aged 15/16 I think and that in my book qualifies him 'as one of our own'!!
Done.Can we at least change the thread name so his surname is spelled correctly?
Said himself, he signed for our u15s so definitely a product of our Academy.
@RyanioBirdio knows a cure for that.Fingers-crossed your a**e-strain isn't too serious.
I’ve recently changed my weight based workouts and Monday was kettlebell squats, so my a**e is genuinely in bits at present. Today was the first time in my life that I realised how many muscles are involved in sitting on a toilet.@RyanioBirdio knows a cure for that.
You given up doing it on the effigy of Karl now then?Today was the first time in my life that I realised how many muscles are involved in sitting on a toilet.
Stop pissing about and help me get off this dunny.You given up doing it on the effigy of Karl now then?
Yep, blows my mind that some think he isn't ready for L1 football and should have been loaned out this season.I think he is the most promising prospect we have had for years. Need to build next season around him no loaning out nonsense. Would love to see his twin back, Bate. They could bamboozle most defences in this league.
At the start of the season it would have made sense to loan him out if we had brought in league 1 ready players but we didn’t. Tyler benefited from that and hasn’t looked back.Yep, blows my mind that some think he isn't ready for L1 football and should have been loaned out this season.
i would say that this season has been fantastic from the perspective of the academy, young players.This season has been terrible on so many levels but Tyler and Gatlin’s development is a massive plus and I’d imagine both will be in and around the 1st team next season rather than loaned out.
Thank god he didn't make any jokes over the last 12 months otherwise he'd already be goneYep, blows my mind that some think he isn't ready for L1 football and should have been loaned out this season.
eat your heart out Gavin WhyteJust to add to his awesomeness, his sirname (which I've never heard before) means godsnake.
English (Suffolk and Norfolk): from the Old Norse personal name Guthormr composed of the elements guth 'god' + ormr 'snake'. This was the name of the first Danish king of East Anglia (9th century). The surname has been altered by folk etymology as if it were a derivative of a habitational name.
At Wycombe from aged 8 who closed their academy due to financial reasons. Went to Reading, released at 15 and joined Oxford. Wycombe boy but absolutely delighted to play for OUFCFrom Wycombe originally, plenty of Ox fans out that way considering their non-league offering.
