What puzzles me is how he excelled vs Peterborough and Derby at LWB and then a of a sudden after impressing in a wing back role all of a sudden out of the bomb squad and playing in a position he has repeated looked off the pace in for a couple of years, attacking midfielder!

That is shockingly bad too. Sadly for some reason we seem to have a bit of a habit for signing forward players who struggle to score goals very often!!

Old sky blue thanks for the great analysis. I think we need to see the accounts of 2 or 3 other clubs to really decide how bad a state were acutally in. The 2 million interest felt a bit steep.

Who identified him as a buy? Last season we were desperately short on goals so to rectify that we spent a huge chunk of the recruitment budget on a player with a 1 in 4 strike rate at Derby and the season before we signed him it was 1 in 6!! This season he is 1 in 20, the poorest conversion rate...

I think with his pace he could be a great option later in games. I can only assume his touch and link up play might be his weakest area as his pace and finishing look good. Has anyone on here honestly seen him play 90 mins for the u23 a few times and could comment on his all round ability.

Seems fair enough. Some on here want heavier sanctions than that for playing the fool with no malice.

A bit too reactionary for me. How many Leicester games have been moved to 1230 as a result of a fan assaulting a player at Forest? We are on the same side in thinking the invaders are total idiots and there needs to be a strong response I.e. a few years ban and a heavy fine in the thousands of...

Lifetime ban!?! Bit totalitarian. £2000 fine and a few years ban would seem more proportionate.

I would agree his crossing has been poor. I also think he has been figured out by opposing managers and defenders. They show him wide and make it hard for him to cross. He needs to mix it up far more with underlapping runs and cutting inside when defenders think he is predictably going to go on...

It was over 17k vs Barnsley during a storm and off the back of a bad run of form. We are two wins on the bounce, the weather should be better and Person will bring more than the 600 Barnsley brought. Be great if we could get it up to 22k.

Looked decent. He is on loan from Watford.

They do which would perhaps push the price up outside of what we are able to spend. I was reading the Telegraphs article about players who are going to be out of contract or have 1 year options and his name jumped of the page vs the rest.

I dont disagree with it being a long shot but if we want to kick on this is the profile of player we need to be interested in.

Yes there are. They charge £10 a car I think. The ones I have seen are near to the stadium end and it's a short walk to the brewery.

Josh Bowler at Blackpool is 22 and into his last year this summer. Looked very classy when we played them recently.

Is he not fit to play 90? Must have missed that in the press. Let's be real if a player can play 70 at LWB they can cope slotting in at RB for the last 20 mins.

Rather than Mattsen for Kane he would have been far better subbing a CB for Taraves or Jones and going 4-3-3.

Shipley plays well at LWB so we start him in a position he has been dire in for the entire time we have been in the Championship. Waghorn shocking trying to score world class goals from anywhere and looked really poor McFaz n it sure why he got left out back in he was a total liability Subs...

I am not convinced by this logic. I think the big gaps lead to some fans to get far too brave and it gives them an area to move into. It's much harder and takes much more sizeable bollocks to try and jump into a group of fans rather than empty space. When the odd person does this due to weight...

Agree I think Jones may leave. If he does I wish him well for the next chapter in his career. Allowing him to leave on a free will give him the best chance of securing a decent deal for himself, financially. If i was his agent i would be approaching a teams like big spending Forest Green Rovers...
