Never mind Will Griggs at Wigan if The beast (TV) is 'on fire' opponents will be terrified. Who you wanna line up next to him in the tunnel? He might not need to even kick a ball i think his prescence could terrify defenders. Bring on the beast.
Terrify defenders? I think that is getting a little bit carried away. Adebayo Akinfenwa is a beast, Thomas Verheydt has got a unique look to him but hopefully he is a decent footballer as well as being intimidating, as he is being made out.
TV looks physically very strong however i thought that the East Grinstead goalkeeper looked taller and bigger.
Seems he is off to a slow start. Not sure if he is injured or they arent happy with his fitness levels. Any way looks like Harrold will start as our main attacking weapon ...we will miss having a scoring threat this season.

If this fella doent get some serious minutes tonight to befin to build some form and fitness we will have to enter the loan market to get a striker to start the league season in 16 days time.
Harrold isnt the answer. He can perhaps do cameo 10 min if we are chasing the game but he isnt quick or mobile enough to start.
Has he left for good or just a short period. Even if the latter he will have had no preseason and clearly carrys a few unesseassy pounds. I hope the club has a plan b to get a decent striker in. We have sold a 20 goal front man and been left with Harrold and a 19 year old with no league experience as our options up front.
Didn't we pay money for Verheydt though? I heard a figure of about £80,000, but not sure how true that is - we also shelled out on a three-year deal, so surely we won't cut our losses with him this early, without him playing a competitive game.
Either way, I've said all along we need a fourth striker - and something different to what we already have. Harrold is likely to break down at some point, Camara only has experience at non-league level and Verhydt is another who's not been tested at this level. All three are big 'target man' type forwards.
Someone we should perhaps have a look at is Padraig Amond at Hartlepool. A nippy forward in the Tubbs mould who scored 15 for Hartlepool last season and wants out up there to get back in the EFL. We surely have cash left over from the Collins sale, so go out and get him.
