I've never seen him have a good game for us.

His Dad is bigger than your Dad.

I said at the Chelsea game he looks like he is running through treacle, then last night I asked if he was actually a footballer and that his Dad should come and get him asap. He cam with lots of hype and I for one had high hopes we had signed something special, I don't think I have ever been so disappointed with a player in all my days supporting this club and there have been more than a few over hyped signings as we all know.

With two of the fastest players in the league SG never played to their strengths.

Well I don't agree that Bailey is quick, but I'm really struggling to think who the other one could be, as we've nobody else with any pace at all.

Might be Watkins.

Like Watkins, he's another one who has no ball control - he couldn't trap a dead dog in a phone box.

Watkins isn't slow, but he's not especially quick either.

Or Cash but after that I'm struggling as well.

Whilst I am on my high horse, my current position on Bailey is that he is a bang average luxury. But, if we are talking positions, maybe he has not been put in the right one. He is like a latter day Traore.

He’s certainly no Tony Morley or Tony Daley pace wise. I don’t think he’s anywhere near for enough yet and there’s clearly concerns otherwise why would we be told he’s only capable of 60 mins?

He may be on the pitch for 60 mins but participates for far less.

I don’t think Leon is a bad player his form at Leverkuesen shows that but last night he was worse than useless. Let’s hope for an uptick under a new
Coach.

As it stands, Bailey has the 6th highest top speed on the league.

If you don’t think Bailey and Watkins are fast.. I don’t know, I can’t help you see I guess.

I don't really need you to help me see thanks, them beating a player for pace just once this season might be a pointer though.

Bailey has next to no pace.

I can't believe anyone genuinely thinks he's fast. Maybe when there's not a ball involved.
