It is right what was said earliers, he is a million times better player that went to Southend.

Which is why he went on to play for Swindon, Wycombe, Leyton Orient and Rotherham.

Revell is nothing special but our strikers are absolute shit, so yes he does look a better bet than ours. He scored didn't he, none of our strikers on the pitch have managed that this season.

At least Revell was awake and paying attention when the ball was in our penalty area which is more than some of our players seem capable of achieving!

Presumably because RS managed him at Orient?

If I was in his position I would think seriously about it as I do not believe RS is as secure as he would like.

Did Alex Revell suddenly get better or did every other striker suddenly get worse?

I think Revell got better. Starting with the playoffs when he FIRED Rotherham to this division.

Revell has FOUR goals this season in 26 games

Hardly the man to fire Cardiff back to the Premier League

He is big, tall, won every header that came his way, put him self about and scored a well taken goal, before fluffing a great chance given to him.

This is exactly the opposite of our woeful ogrady.

We are seriously lacking up front, even paddy had a right go at ogrady when he played the ball across the face of the goal fora tap in!

If that **** burke, Sami and the Welsh menace can't see that we need a player like revell, then we are in the shit?

A strange signing by Cardiff. Would have thought they would be making their signings further up the food chain. Can't see Cardiff threatening the promotion places this season. The only way they will sneak into a play off berth is under similar circumstances to us last season. The likes of Brentford and Watford going into freefall. They are way too inconsistent though.

He is just following Russell Slade I'd have thought - they've worked together at Orient previously.

Fair play. He and Slade know each other and know exactly what is on offer. He won't pull up trees but he will be solid and offer an out for their midfielders/defenders if Slade persists in not starting Kenwyn Jones. Bounces off defenders less than CMS but that's about it for me.

Given the chance I would grab Kenwynne Jones without a 2nd thought.

Did you get the chance to see O'Grady against Fulham or Brentford?

If Revell is seen as coming above Jones in the pecking order, Jones must be a shadow of the player he once was. Definitely have him in his prime, never prolific but quick, strong and physical, and weighed in with a few. Seems it's all gone wrong for him the last couple of years.
