He is noticeable. One of his strengths at the very least should be drawing players out of position, to the advantage of the team as a whole. But I appreciate that needs others to be quick to take advantage. Maybe given another dozen games he will improve. If not, then he can't complain if Jones sidelines him. Half a season should be ample chance to show something.
Conor Coventry called up for international duty by Republic of Ireland. After a shaky start, the Docherty / CC axis in our midfield has improved markedly. They are not going to create much, but in terms of energy & organisation they are a decent pairing.
There’s definitely been a slight downturn in the way we are playing in recent weeks, certainly since Ipswich. We are never going to be a team that plays amazing football, it’s more than likely that other scouts have worked us out.
The longer it goes on with our strikers not hitting the back of the net, the quicker we will start touching the bottom six.
I would certainly taken ninth at the beginning of the season. Especially with Godden out. We have really hard games coming up with teams like Stoke and Coventry on the horizon. With so many players injured, it is going to be tough.
