KHV Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Played 82 mins in a 2-0 win. Didn't score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Looked like he lacked match sharpness. Improved as the game went on.. involved heavily in second goal. Looked fitter than last season. He looked like he was really down on confidence.. tried hard and looked like it meant something to him.. which is something i suppose. Expect him to build fitness and start scoring in a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted October 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2017 He was given an opportunity at Forest, he didn’t take it, he was offered another chance in the summer but didn’t do enough. It isn’t like he hasn’t had chances to turn things around. If he isn’t going to contribute, if he is a potential distraction and we can save on his wages then that is what we should do. As I’ve said previously, there are things to be critical of Bruce for but I don’t think this is one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Here's the highlights They play in the Man City kit as well, which I suppose is not surprising. I think it will be good for him, beautiful place to play football, good distance away so he can clear his head and a chance to get fit and try a few things out. EDIT - And to be fair to him, even here he has a couple of great touches and gets the ball rolling for their second goal. *Spoiler warning^ His yellow card was for kicking the ball away.

briny_ear Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm always fascinated by this VT phenomenon that if a player doesn't make it in our first team squad, he gets as much if not more coverage than the ones who actually do make it. Abd suddenly becomes the answer to all our problems, if only the manager could see, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in principle but it's not clear to me that he has been given any sort of meaningful chance this season.

What would constitute a meaningful chance for you? A start in a league game? Why would or should he be afforded that if he's done nothing to earn it? What kind of message would that have sent to Keinan Davis for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team isn't performing then football fans are always clamouring for changes or out of favour players to come back and solve all the problems. In general of course if they were good enough they'd be in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Playing devil's advocate for a minute, of course teams have a squad for a reason. Sometimes players come in and establish themselves. It seems silly to ignore players just because they aren't in the first team right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
