SwellOwl Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It is down to him now. Last chance saloon, he has the talent and what a positive it would be to the squad if he can perform. It would be like a brand new signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 57 minutes ago, Mr Farrell said: His last chance. Done nothing in years, and his value has plummeted. If he fails to perform for yet another Manager, it's clear where the issue is. Ok lets keep the lie going... 5 goals in 10 games at end of 17/18 season after a long injury. Last season was start stop with injuries and suspension. But still made a contribution when playing. But yeah done nowt since 2008 or something. Lets get Lee Peacock back ffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 There's a golden opportunity for Forestieri. Neither Reach or Murphy seem capable of stringing any sort of form together. Both are blowing hot and cold...for the most part, cold. Either in a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3, the opportunity is there for Forestieri to come in and really make impact. I look at the shape we played on Saturday, and think Forestieri having the licence to roam coming off the right (or left) flank, gives us a lot more balance than the very monotonous, regimented role Reach plays in that position.

bigdan2003 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Although he's not been as good as he was in 15/16, some of that imo is due to the way we've played. Particularly under Jos. Plus he had a long injury lay off. I can't wait to see him back. Needs get his head down though, no more dramas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is also a good chance that the court case hanging over him from from July until the end of March also had a big impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think on saturday it was crying out for a creative number 10 sat behind Fletcher and in front of the midfield. Fessi might be perfect for that. Last chance saloon to get Fessi firing though as i think if he doesn't this season he will go elsewhere at the end of his contract. He might need a fresh start if continues to not play and stagnate here for the rest of this season. Lets hope Monk is the man to unlock his potential, but really it's down to 1 man. Fessi. He needs to comeback and train his butt off and demand a place in the team. He needs to use EFL anger to proof everyone wrong and comeback on fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF is the best example yet of a player who gets better, when he doesn’t play. From memory, Siggi Johnson and Mark Chamberlain run him close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Nowt against Forestieri, but I'm heartily sick of the "Wait and see" stuff...Its not just this time...We have had it before, ... The number of players we have had...just waiting for .. "the right service" "The right circumstance" "The fookin' planets to be in alignment" etc etc etc The clubs ticking over, the odd hiccup, but we are in the mix, Forestieri will either turn up and do what we know he can...or he won't....Its no longer the "problem" it used to be. The no show at Norwich was rumoured to be wages..Was it Fletchers? If so...Fletcher has proved he is worth more than Fernando is...hasn't he? We waited for Hooper...We waited and still wait for Rhodes to fire... Some of the poor buggers that turn up week in , week out get slated to high heaven "Not good enough" Maybe they aren't...but at least they are available...Hardly a bloody accolade...but its true! So come on Fernando....We know you have the talent....Lets see it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think Hutch was talking about match fitness which obviously he won’t have. He had a long period injured and a long period where his head hasn’t been right. Monk knows this and will be working on him. As the Norwich goal showed there can be no argument about his ability. Can he get back to a consistent level in order to secure himself a regular starting place I am not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed him / Hooper doing that on Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 6 hours ago, CadTheOwl said: I don't think he fits in our system long term, however I would happily place him in front of Reach and Murphy for the opposing winger slot on current form. Really don't rate Murphy and think Reach needs a break. ive seen flashes from murphy so lets not give up on him yet , but he clearly has talent ,you don't score a goal like he did at the Etihad and not have talent,he is too inconsistent that's why he is playing for us and not a regular in premier league .
