5' 11" and stepping out of the shower

No wonder he tripped coming out of the shower if it's that long!

List of the squad travelling to Portugal According to Twitter

[Royal Ginger]

Taylor and Obita in, Leigertwood injured, D'Ath conspicuous in his absence? Or have I missed something.

[LightwaterRoyal]

Interesting that Carrico travelled.

[yappy]

Leigertwood not travelled due to injury.

Kebe, Roberts & HRK all travelled but won't be playing. Bit strange that despite their injuries they've travelled, whereas Mikele hasn't.

Staying in England to sort out his move

Really odd a Portuguese bloke being up for a trip back home

Really odd a Portuguese bloke being up for a free trip back home

But why would we take him if he is pretty much gone?

[yappy]

Well he isn't 'pretty much gone' at the moment. As Hammond said the other day there is interest & a move is a possibility, but it's no more than that currently. Wouldn't keep him back just because there is a bit of interest.

Looking at the forward options it is frightening. We must get a proven goalscorer in who can start games. Le Fondre is a proven goalscorer as a supersub only. The Pog probably will be off,Blackman League 1 at best and Roberts who is nearly old enough to collect his pension and has been injured for a year.FRIGHTENING.

Perhaps the plan is to play HRK as a striker.

Yeah - maybe it is OR maybe the Pog isn't off or maybe Alfie will thrive against Champ defences or maybe Blackman too will show why the staff have faith in him and maybe Roberts' injury will sort itself sooner rather than later. One thing's for sure - NA and his staff know better than us so don't be FRIGHTENED.

A not very efficient translator probably, still on the cheap - it's the Reading way.....

Roberts tweeted pics of him running on grass and kicking a ball just now - so it looks like progress is being made
