    Are you in one of your funny moods today <whistle>

    It’s a forum with a divergence of opinions.

    What we think isn’t immaterial, else why post on one ? (Or three).

    Also, Jones isn’t some sort of infallible deity.

    Alfie May ….Alex Mitchell …..Rob Apter etc ?

    Campbell isn’t good enough. At many other clubs the fans don’t give a player a free pass for 6 months (which is also the last time Campbell scored).

    I won’t be happy if he’s picked again tomorrow, but I’ll hope he can finally contribute a goal or an assist if he is.

    Bar the scuffed goal vs QPR, what has Apter actually produced that TC hasn't?

    I think Apter looked lively the first couple of games, but I think his decision making was poor against Milwall, and we've looked better going forwards since Bree has come in for him.

    As for TC, I think he's raw, but there is definitely potential there, but he needs work on his decision making. Maybe he does need a break from the starting 11, but I'm not sure Olafe or Apter are huge improvements. I do think TC gets a harder time from the fans than others because he's from the academy though.

    I’d say the opposite.

    And Nathan Jones has fallen out with Apter.

    I'm more concerned about Kelman and the outlay with no return so far.

    I'll stick my neck out and say he's an Ajose mk2

    My QPR season ticket friend was literally laughing when we paid £3.5m for him - he said he’s a dud / goal hanger.,

    Apter was the signing I was most looking forward to seeing play. I’m content he’s currently not in the starting 11

    He’s not been given much of a chance tbf & I thought he was decent before he was dropped.

    Leaburn hasn't been starting. The fans at home games always sing TC's song. He works incredibly hard in attack and defence but NJ's project to convert him from winger to striker hasn't worked. He's a very shy lad, interviewing him is a nightmare, so maybe it's a confidence issue. I don't know, but if his end product doesn’t improve he will be dropped, I have predicted this week. I haven’t given up on him.

    I think TC should be given a bit more time. I hope he does something better tomorrow.
    He should maybe get until the next international break to up his game.

    I think you are wrong on TC, I’m privy to a few bits from behind the scenes which @ElfsborgAddick is aware of and I must admit they have influenced my overall opinion of him.

    Wrong in specifically what? Him being a shy lad? I'm going on a couple of Louis Mendez attempted interviews, where Louis had to do nearly all the talking. Oloafe was the exact opposite.

    Well, without knowing what those few bits are, I can't see how we can change the views we've expressed.

    For my part I'm not going to think less of TC because of references about him that aren't explained.
