You’re right, just had to watch it again. I thought Joseph got his toe to it but he just missed and it was Crooks that got a touch, although Joseph still played a part in causing their defender to give possession away, just not as much as I thought.
I definitely think he’s improved this season, but just needs to add a bit more threat in the oppositions box (oh and goals ).
Yeah, it is strange. Thought he was brilliant in the first couple of games. Got an injury and has barely played since he came back from injury.
The conversation around Joseph is going the same way it often does with players who get labelled as League 1 fodder: even when they have a good run people can't wait to get back to dismissing them as soon as an opportunity comes. We've drawn a game so it's back to 'Joseph is League 1 ****e'. I think it's surely hard to disagree that he's been one of our best performers in the winger spots this season, despite it obviously not being his natural position as such. He's clearly been better than Akintola, and Ndala has often been sat on the bench. So with Millar and Belloumi out again it seems apparent to me that KJ will continue to be one of our best options for that role in the coming weeks. Hopefully he continues to perform as he has done because he's been very effective.
He’s currently our best striker too. That doesn’t mean the comments about him are invalid, he is struggling at this level.
