Agree, MR brought him on against Oxford and then said he may keep him around for his pace. We've since played about 4 games and he's not come on.

It doesn't help Tavares and it doesn't help us

Personally I'd rather see him given a chance

He isnt an option as Robins won't bring him on.

Must have something to do with him being nowhere near the level.

I don't buy that, there's been multiple opportunities to move him on or end his contract/sign a replacement but he's still here and making the bench. I saw his potential when he was still a Rochdale player and I'm convinced there is still a player in there.

Giving players like Tavares a chance is something we’d have done in a dull L1 consolidation season. We aren’t that club anymore. Let him go.

Yeah. I'm not saying he's integral. I am saying robins only send him on loan of a winger coming though . Won't want to risk Injury nightmare

We have just had tired and injured players and he didn't use him. He needs to go. He isnt a kid anymore either

He has to go on loan and start regular games at league 1 and tbh he needs to bag at least 5-6 between now and end of thr season.

At his age 3 mins off the bench here or there is no good for his development

I don't understand why though. Why big him up in that interview, why keep him around the squad when we could easily have signed a replacement in the summer. Makes no sense

Would he get regular games at league one? Don’t think there’s anything to suggest he would.

At 23, he’s played around 40 games and scored 3 goals. If he goes out loan, it will be league two I’d imagine.

2 forward players please. 2 wingers is fine as we can move Wright more centrally, 1 winger and 1 striker also fine and keep Wright coming off the left

It’s once they reach 21 so I suppose it’s when their birthdays fall.

By winger I mean someone who can play in the wide forward role before someone tries to tell me we don’t play wingers

In what way exactly? Fairly clear cut for me. He isnt good enough and won't get on the bench soon. Did I miss anything?

And I'm saying i still can't see robins send him out unless a forward of some kind is coming in.

why bring in a player with the aim of moving Wright into a position where he’s been far less effective?

His move out to the left has been a revelation, moving him back into the middle would be a mistake in my opinion

Depends on which way you look at it.

Most of the clubs near the bottom of the table are those who need the money the most. This would take money away from these clubs.

Arguably less meaningless games, or sides 'on the beach' for a few games at the end of the season. Be interesting to see what effect it has.
