    Another thing I noticed yesterday was how many times Jobe lost his balance. Did he have incorrect studs/blades in or is he just prone to random falls at inopportune moments.

    Out for the majority of next season, isn’t he? Good player but an absolute sick note unfortunately.

    Didnt realise it was that long but yes he is a sick note. Hopefully he can be our own Luke Shaw once he does recover. He suffered bad injuries early in his career but class when fit.

    He does that. Needs to stay on his feet more.

    Huggins is probably our best option at left back, Cirkin , Hjelde and Alese all look better in a back 3 tbh. sadly 3 out of 4 have missed more games than they have played due to injury problems.

    I still prefer Cirkin over Huggins at fullback, think hes got more about him (just). I really like Huggins and it was such a shame with his injury as was 1 of oyr best players at the time

    Cirkin could be the best LB in the league next season imo, he just needs to prove his fitness rather than getting injured all the time

    I think it's because he's carrying the rest of the team <laugh>

    Personally think he would be a better winger.

    I think he was going down at every contact from a defender trying to win a free kick. Needs to cut that out and use his body to shield the ball instead.

    He had another poor game imo., looks tired out again , amazingly it seems we have no alternative but to keep playing him no matter what , as, neither Hemir or Burstow look anywhere near ready to start, I would out of sheer lack of options give Mundle a shot , and bring Jobe on after half time.

    I thought some of his movement was good but overall not a great performance. If only he stayed on his feet when he received the ball it'd make all the difference to his game. Should be doable given his size.

    Speaking of that, I'm starting to think it's not so much that he's worn out (it has been in the past) as he's a young lad still growing and is still getting used to his physique, touch of the baby giraffe element.
