The 'ghost players'

[Blendondigger]

We seem to 'lose' players between the treatment room and the first team squad.

So we have people like McQuoid (what is happening to him?) and Batt (when will he be fit?). Racon 'disappeared' for 2 months between a reserve game and now a mention of treatment because of an ankle injury. There are others..Stewart etc who seem to be regularly injured.

The club (and therefore us through the turnstiles) are paying a wage for these players. When we don't hear anything, they become a target of criticism. Then it feels like dead wood.

Perhaps a few more reserve games would help. Then we can see progress. How many reserve games have there been this season? What about a few interviews on the official site reviewing progress?

Is the club frightened about what they're going to say?

Batt and McQuoid have not been seen or heard of for ages. These purchases were 'big hopes' for the future. Well the future is NOW and they're not playing. Why?

None of this helps KJ or his coaching squad.

Get your act together - you need all the support you can get.

We all had high hopes for McQuoid, but he never really cut it for me. Batt i think returned to training and got another knock and im not really sure about him anyways, i was just thinking about J.B. we havnt heard much from him either.
He made a good speech at the start of the season and havnt heard anything from him since, whats he been saying if anything in the programmes ?

Always thought Batt , with his pace had a lot of potential to cause the oppo alot of problems and the majority of the games i saw i thought he did well and had a future, so hopefully like others have said if he gets back to full fitness he will be like a new signing, Mcquoid like mighty said has been somewhat of a flop for the high hopes kenny placed in him. The odd spectacular goal but for the fee we paid hasnt produced , and with injuries has missed a fair few games. id personally get rid as he cant cut it at a higher level but could be a decent buy in leaque 1. Racon where are you ?? even i could'nt take a sickie for that long !!

I feel like someone was listening to us!

Batt on for 8 mins but certainly asked a few questions of the defence and looked eager - and a load more than McQuoid!

.worrying times tho BLENDONDIGGER, how many games is that since we scored, my question is with all the chances at bristol and a few other clear cut chances , are the players playing for Kenny???, even our loan striker is finding it hard to score and some of our chances in the last couple of games were sitters, begining to lose the faith and with tough games coming up in the leaque, we spent a lot of seasons getting out of leaque 1 and dont wanna go back none too soon.

Our problems started in the Summer when we sold Morison. Henderson is the only striker we now have who WAS scoring goals. Now they have dried up from him as well. We must have the worst strikeforce in the Championship and an 18 year old from Spurs isn't going to solve the problem.Unless KJ signs at least one goalscorer before the end of this month League 1 here we come. The saving grace might be that if Bristol City sell Maynard and Doncaster sell Sharp the goals might dry up for them as well.
