24.361 million hectares. So Turkey has about 30% coverage, we're down around 13%.

Thank you!  I knew someone would conker it.
I imagine you'd be interested to note that the 'Turkey oak' was introduced to the UK in the 1700s and is now impacting our native oak populations. It’s less valuable to wildlife, but much faster growing and a host of the knopper oak gall wasp.

I think we should sign Knopper Oak Wall Wasp, he could be the final piece in our jigsaw.

Coming over here... replacing good, honest, hard working British oak.

Is it timber to leaf this alone as we have grained all we can and could be barking up the wrong tree.

Plus Bailey was missing in action on Wednesday and Sunday.

I think Bailey is trying too hard. If he relaxed a bit, and became more of a team player, he'd do really well.

Like all flair inspired tricky players they have the tendency to hold the ball a little too long and eventually lose it - this causes the crowd to collectively groan and their confidence gets shot.

I think we need to persevere with him as there is a player in there. As other posters have said - he needs to relax a little and be more of a team player with a bit more pass and go.

I’m yet to see evidence from him or hear evidence from his mentor manager father that suggests there is the remotest possibility f him being or becoming a team player.

I was excited when he signed.

I still believed when it was suggested he needed time to settle/he wasn't fully fit/he needed to feel he was loved/the system didn't suit him ...

Now I've lost patience.

I think he is that bloke who turns up at 5-a-side intent only on trying to execute some amazing trick to beat a defender before smashing in a 'worldy' - which happens once in a blue moon.

Meanwhile there is no prospect of tracking back, no chance of working with or for the team, and an increasing sense that everyone hopes he gets picked for the other side. UTV

I was pleased he started against Stevenage. After his miss , ( and general poor performances of late ) it was a great opportunity to absolutely destroy league 2 defence.

He wasn’t alone in not performing, but on the back of that,  he needs taking out of the firing line. An impact player at best for the next part of the season I think.
