Don’t think for one moment players like Forestieri want the ball in to his feet ( if he’s lucky ) If you watch him, he’s constantly frustrated, even pointing to where he wants the ball played Our sole attacking options seems to be, lump it up to Fletcher so he can tussle with the centre backs without ever getting it truly under control. None of our other front players are the sort of players who thrive on flick ons It’s pathetic

Of course, no guarantees, though I rate Jokanovic highly as a coach. As for having no pace in the side, you’d perhaps be surprised how much pace we had if we had a more forward thinking coach Players like Penney, Matias and Joao are pretty quick, certainly quicker than anything our neighbours have However, because they move the ball apace, and are always looking to get forward, they look a much more mobile side than us. It’s Jos’s sterile tactics that make us seem so pedestrian

Not recently he hasn’t

If this guy was any good, someone would have given him a chance before now Can’t think of any modern day footballers who have made that type of transition at his age You never say never, but it’s highly unlikely

Sure there are no guarantees, so I’ll take the one who at least will play entertaining football. Jokanovic is the only one on that list who I’d trust to do that

Depends which division we’re in If we go down, might be worth a punt

Hugely disappointing in what for us, has always been a barren competition.

Didn’t the U23s do exactly the same at the weekend

I hope not, but, I’m thinking it’s particularly difficult for youngsters having to perform in such a toxic atmosphere

It’s hard to say, probably John may have some thought on that Of all those youngsters involved this season, in the first team set up, probably only three have shown they are ready to play regular championship football Of course, that’s not to be scoffed at, if any club can get three home produced players into the first eleven at the same time, then that’s quite an achievement

I’d happily take another striker, we have often been short of attacking options The last thing we want to do though, is sign a striker of that age who’s only ever played in the lower leagues Just the sort of player we’d struggle to offload if it doesn’t work out, and quite frankly, the odds on it not working out, would be pretty high We’d be better off borrowing a quick youngster from one of the Premier League big boys. Jeez, you’d think we’d learned our lesson signing players of that age

Him, Rhodes and Winnall will tear League One a new one

Sadly, if this is true, that’s how I see it. Leaving out our better, more experienced players, and blooding youngsters, who are mostly not yet ready for Championship football. Under DC, we’ve gone from signing attackers like Forestieri, Hooper and Joao, through the likes of Rhodes and Winnall, and ending up with bloody James Norwood

29 next birthday though? Think that’s stretching the late developer thing a wee bit Unless we’re preparing for League One?

Apparently we are monitoring Norwood the Tranmere striker, who is 28 Very odd
