Is anyone else getting an error accessing the OS?

Edit: Seems to be working now!

Interesting signing. Gray loves a striker doesn't he! Decent pedigree what with representing his country at U21 level.

Hope we've got the relevant international clearance..

Very good pedigree to have represented Czech Republic at u21s level.

Looks like he's been playing in the Austrian version of the Northern league

A foreigner who no one has heard of - reminiscent of the Hodgie-era signings.

... half the Premiership I'd never heard of til they landed (some I wish I still hadn't ha ha ha) ... Mind you I remember watching a team training and playing a footy game amongst themselves on a floodlit pitch (sports hub) one night in Austria (was on a ski trip). They were really impressive technically and very highly skilled, I presumed they were some Austrian National League team. In a local bar later, I found out they were a non league outfit. Darlo were a league team in them days (says little tbh) but from what I saw, these Austrian part timers were a class (or two above).

Gray is normally no mug in such matters ....

His surname sounds like the noise I make when someone kicks me in the testicles really hard.

Can't understand the need for another forward.

I notice from Twitter he was playing for Bridlington Town reserves during the pre-season

That's just typical, the one time I want to read a thread on the official site and it doesn't work, it's a conspiracy I tell you. :evil:

One injury and then there is no striker on the bench. Worth a look-see anyway as a striker, but may have midfield possibilities as well.

I think we should Czech out what he can do before judging.

Rather that than a "Big Name" foreigner from the Reynolds era. :roll:

In all honesty he didn't do a lot but then again he didn't look fully fit.

Always think its unfair to judge new players when numerous changes leave the team disjointed.

It's fair to say he looked like he was a bit short of match fitness..

Couldn't fault his commitment but reminded me of Ton Kaak, headless chicken way out of his depth. Regardless of service, as a good striker you make things happen. Just look at Cartman when he came on.

Be surprised if he sticks around.

I do not know whether Hymr is going to succeed or not . It is too soon to tell . However comments about Cartman are based on very short memories he was heavily criticised as not good enough by plenty of self appointed experts when he was new and settling in. I remember his wife and child being really upset . Let's give the new man a chance .

I will hold my hands up on this one...I never shouted at him I just thought he were too light weight but I've been proved wrong.... And glad I have..
