The Mail Bag

Weight for it

James Vaughan seems to have bulked up around the chest and shoulders, I hope this doesn't continue too much and lead to him losing the explosive pace. Yes, I know that all the top sprinters have muscles to spare, but pace is not the same as sprint.

Football, even more so now, is a middle distance / stamina sport. One of the differences between the good, very good and great is the ability to put in that 5, 10, 20 or 30 yard burst to get into the box.

Vaughan has the potential to put together Yakubu's instincts for space with AJ's pace and work rate.

In keeping with my rep. as the world's worst tipster, I won't jinx it with a score for tomorrow, but it IS do-able

Think Christiano Ronaldo, then you won’t be worrying anymore...

Couldn't agree with you more DT, I think with another injury free season under his belt he could be (if not better) another prodigy of ours. I don?t want to mention his name(otherwise Dave Barks will have me thrown off the site) but the lad has all the attributes of being even better, like I say, than the other lad we produced a few years ago.
