looks like we're in talks about extending the loan - would be nice if they could make it permanent :-

Hope we can get him til the end of the season, he's like this seasons Jake Robinson, only reliable and doesn't send chances flying over the bar at 200mph from 40 yards out.

Hopefully we can secure his services until our play off final win at the end of the season! :nod: He is a far better player than Robinson, stronger and more skillful IMO and he's still competetive unlike Robinson whos form tailed off with us just when we didn't need it to. Cracking business from Lingy if we can tie the lad down ( not literally , that would be abuse). :lol:

Good player, skilful, direct, much prefer him to Robinson. I didn't think he played well at Sheffield United or at home to Barnet, out-performed by Stevens on both occasions in my opinion but it's definitely excusable - first full season in the Football League, coming into December. Think he's very good hopefully we can get him here for longer, one way or another.

I think he's one for the future and would love him to stay. If he goes back then we could have a problem although that could be the making of Atieno.

The Making of ATIENO? Isn't that a documentary about the very funny yet tragic film 'ATIENO' , a true story film starring Taiwo Atieno acting as a lower league footballer struggling to make an impact in the professional game? I've not seen it yet but i've caught glimpses of trailers. One bit is where he scores against Bristol Rovers, others are where he comes on as sub and overhits passes and never looks like scoring again. Maybe thats the USP of the film, the desperation of the player to do well for his club Torquay resonates amongst the audience so that they are all willing him to success, even Exeter and Plymouth fans too (reports the Herald). Sadly though i believe the film has a sad ending when Tai gets released and ends up at Home Park in the BSP making his debut against Isle of Sodor FC managed famously by the Fat Controller and his No.2 Thomas. :lol: The end.
