    Gayle is a Ram!!

    So Dwight Gayle has officially joined the club, lets hope he proves as inspirational as McGoldrick was.

    Interested as to how this might affect tactics and formation as Gayle likes to run off the shoulder of defenders and on to passes. As he's a massive 5'9" no way will the tactics be going down the outside and putting in lots of crosses. Might we see more of the inverted winger and maybe even try playing through the middle now and again? We shall see. Whatever the formation I wish him well and lots of goals.

    Having now seen him in his 3 appearances thus far, am I the only one to notice that he runs OK but, when he's walking, appears to have a limp. One leg shorter than the other maybe?

    Observations?

    He does seem to have an odd gait when walking. No idea why.

    I noticed that in the last game, I assumed he was carrying an injury

    I also observed that Eric Steele repeatedly referred to him as ‘Howard’ which would make the retention issue more clear cut, HG is 65

    Is it a bit premature to suggest the song for DG might be the chorus from All Dwight Now by Free?

    All Dwight now baby, it's all Dwight now
    All Dwight now baby, it's all Dwight now
    Derby, Derby, Derby it's all Dwight, Dwight Dwight, Dwight
