    I've not seen the close control from him which I think is necessary to play out wide. It's not always about running onto a through ball.

    There’s been a couple times this season mate and in his brief appearances last where he would get the ball and run.

    he’s a difficult man to stop when he gets going, last year when he started and played a couple games, I actually said he looks like a winger because he’d get the ball and run

    I'm happy to go along with that....it's his close control I'm a little sceptical of....which I do think is needed when you're out wide. It's not always about power.

    Aye, slim pickings you'd assume

    I reckon he'll go:

    Patterson
    Mepham Ballard O'Nien Cirkin
    Neil Rigg
    Watson Aouchiche Isidor
    Connolly​

    Subs: Moore, Alese, Hjelde, Johnson, Jones, Ba, Aleksic, Mayenda, Rusyn

    I would prefer Watson on the left and Mayenda instead of Connolly.

    Frustrating that Samed is nowhere near playing nearly 3 months after signing. Got to hope he can make up for it in the 2nd half of the season.
    Never expected to see much/anything of Addullahi given he's played 60 seconds of senior football
    Poveda is as expected...

    Couldn’t agree more with that Isidore is better up top to start if things need to change we can have a shuffle about later in the game

    Samed was back “after the international break” when RLB was asked a month ago. Now it’s another month before he can train. Something very peculiar about our medical departments ability to predict timescales.

    I swear at this point it feels like we are paying Lens to allow us to pay for the rehab for their player.

    Aye feel like we should cut our losses and go into the market for someone else in Jan, could be feb before he’s up to speed at this rate

    I can remember the excitement around the signing when he first came in. Shame how it’s worked out so far

    Could understand it to an extent if we bought him but looks like we took a punt and signed a dud

    We aren't paying Lens anything for this loan.

    Great thread again RTB. Thank you once again. Difficult game as it usually is down there but i think a draw would do for me. A win would be great but I'd be quite happy with a point. Sadly I won't be at this one as the M.I.L. is very very poorly and I feel it need to be at home for MRS W given the probable outcome for her mother. Remember to keep the faith lads and lasses.

    Hull, Coventry and Sheff Utd bought Burstow, Simms and Moore ...

    ... not sure what they cost but I doubt they'll be value for money.

    Our signings may yet.
