    Far too many fans are blaming the players, and not the ones picking the team and formations.

    Do you mean KS telling Doddsy to play Jobe to increase his value.

    not every minute but he has a thing in his contract that he has to hit a certain amount of minutes, if he doesn't hit the minutes he can go for cheaper, he had the same at birmingham and we hit the trigger, that's how we got him

    Surely he has hit those minutes now? He's played nearly every game

    He is employed on his brothers reputation by the bloke who was in the right place at the right time at Brum

    He may turn out to be a decent player, but his brother he isn't.

    I can't believe we have agreed to that contract. Guaranteed minutes no matter what? What does that show to the other players?

    Quite funny if we have to play Jobe every week. Play him, burn him out, pull a hammy or pop an achillies and it's the contracts fault.

    Sounds like a great plan for a 17 year old.

    We are in for a massive game btw on Tuesday. Doddsy needs to grow a set.

    We need to wake the **** up or it will be a cricket score.

    Not being difficult or just referring to you, I just keep seeing various digs at the fans on these threads ...

    ... why is that, it seem to happen quite often.

    I find all this quiet bizarre that he gets minutes and a lot of minutes every week to the detriment of the team,whoever takes the reins in the summer is gona have to be thick skinned, makes you think how Beale got away with sticking him on the bench the other week

    It's harming his career. He's not looking great for us so clubs currently higher up the food chain aren't going to look at him. His career will wind down before its started and he'll end up at Port Vale. The only hope is that he can develop despite this and come back next season looking a better player.

    Because maybe there is nothing in place, no conspiracy and it's more the managers are choosing to give him the minutes? No idea why cause at times as he looked completely burnt out and one of his best performances this season has been from the bench.

    Would be interesting to find out for certain. It's an increasingly bizarre situation either way.
