I'm still annoyed that Dyer is judged not to be ready

    Despite putting in a fair bit of effort and challenging for balls in his brief cameo

    But Humphreys starts every week.

    If I said to you they Humphreys is a 19 year old lad from Barnsley academy would you say that he's ready? Not a chance .

    And neither would Clarke.

    So why the two tier management? Stop playing players based purely on where they were signed from and their age

    Dyer would be a better option than Rodriguez who's stealing a wage.

    I agree, don't see why he can't be given a go.

    Because he's nowhere near good enough. If he was, he would have been involved in the first team squad for months given he is now in his 20s.

    Disagree. I actually thought he looked ok yesterday. Pacey, worked hard, couple of touches and a decent effort.

    Rodriges hasn't really had much of a chance, but the early signs aren't good. He hardly ever touches the ball. Looks like another waste of money in wages, along with Lembikisa and, as it has turned out, Lewis. Brilliant January window!

    Rodrigues looks poor from what I've seen and we have a option to buy.. it's a no from me.

    It was a no from me for Watters after his loan but we still signed him. Don’t rule Rodrigues out on a permanent with this lot.

    When you say decent effort I question what you mean by decent mate....I was smack across from him when he missed that chance n he should have buried it imo.

    While Rodrigues is the second coming of prime Messi.

    We might as well give a player we're already paying a wage to the chance to make an impression over importing a foreign lad who is seemingly no better and has a lot of adjustment to make in terms of culture, language etc

    Watters had a good season start at Crawley and Cardiff swooped but quickly regretted it. We thought he can't be that bad but he was..... and we still signed him !!

    It may have been a no from you, but plenty were also saying yes at the time.

    Rodrigues could have helped his career so much yesterday by taking his chance. Lovely chest down set himself up lovely - piss poor finish.
