    But he'll keep getting on because we've no other option after the ineptness of the last few days in January.

    *sigh*

    Agreed. But some say it's our style of play that doesn't suit him.

    He's bone idle for a start.

    I think he has some potential if he can improve his workrate and attitude and also I think the way we play doesn't suit him. He is pretty one dimensional though and if he is to succeed will have to realise that he needs to adapt to the way teams play not the other way round

    Shows promise but our inability to sign a striker in January means we are stuck with him.

    He offered nothing today. Was lucky not to get subbed off at half time.

    For me he will go down as one of our worst loan striker signings ever alongside others we speak of like Deon Burton, Chris Wood etc.

    He's not the only one missing chances, most noticeable is Bradshaw. Sounds like he could and should've had at least an hatrick yesterday. He's missing absolute sitters and for someone who's supposed to be prolific it's even worse.

    I genuinely have no idea how the hell he keeps getting a start.
    Why isn't someone like Jackson playing?

    The fact he was ****** off by Grimsby a week after they lost their top goal scorer tells you the answer to that...

    Was he sent back or recalled? Either way he can't be any worse than playing a statue who we've only borrowed

    If you're suggesting we should stop playing the loan players, we'll never get sent another if we take that attitude.
