    I do wonder if we’d take another look at Divin Mubama

    Hardly kicked a ball all season at City, even for the 21s. He needs to be playing football

    Madness....one if the reasons he cited wanting to leave West Ham was lack of game time.....money waved at him & gane time no longer a consideration.......could well have been kicking on by now had he chosen a club to go play games

    My concern with Rigf is that he's been carried in some games waiting for him to do something, which was similar to Jobe last year.

    Dan Neil would be more effective further up the pitch, and would give us a better chance of going up.

    I don't want us to go for him, I mentioned when we were linked with him I had concerns about him

    He was class as a 16/17 yr old, looked head and shoulders most at his age group but he's then struggled since then.

    I think we need better than him, and we have enough developmental CFs at the club

    Rigg has been better this season than Jobe was last season, quite comfortably too. Imagine if Rigg improves next season the same way Jobe has this season? We’d be laughing.

    I didn’t want him in the summer, thought we needed more experience. I still feel the same, just brung him up as I know we were linked previously.

    I'm not one for saying we need more experience or not - we def need another option upfront tho and it has to be someone for now

    We have some exciting young CFs for the future, what we need is someone for right now

    Rigg doesn't get put holding midfielder one week, striker the next and then a no.10 a week later.

    Rigg is also playing in a more consistent side, so it's hard to gauge.

    Rigg also doesn’t go missing for weeks on end and remain on the pitch despite contributing 0

    Not that it matters now, we’ve got 2 cracking prospects

    He's contributed very little in a few games recently, which is expected. He was very quiet in the first half against Blackburn.

    For me Dan and Jobe are pushed up and you use Rigg to rotate between them to stand any chance of getting promoted.

    I think he would have but for injury, was still good but not the same after that. Before he was absolutely unplayable at his best. if Abdullhai is anything like as good he’ll be an excellent option.

    They were all ****e in the first half at Blackburn

    Any chance of promotion comes in the play-offs. Hopefully we’ve got a fully fit squad come May

    Embleton signed for Carlisle, really hasn’t worked his move to Blackpool

    That injury down at Hull has really killed his career. Sad to see

    Carlisle are struggling in League Two. Really thought Embleton was better than that like

    Injuries have definitely taken there toll, didn't think he would play at Championship level due to them but definitely thought he was better than a team in the bottom half of L2

    2nd bottom, they’re really struggling!

    I hope he can stay fit and get a run of games. More than good enough at that level

    Surprised by that, talent wise he’s championship standard at his best but injuries have obviously impacted him. Hopefully he gets a run and plays his way back up the leagues.
