People have been shouting for Gus to bring him on and give him a chance, which he did today, but after 30 seconds of chasing a player did he touch the ball again.

What do you honestly expect from the kid? Grown men like Spanish Dave and Orlandi had stinkers today against a spirited Leicester side.

I thought that he did exactly what I expected nothing. IMHO we would have done better to put El Abd on up front with Ulloa to try to unsettle them and force a mistake just by using brute strength

Looked to me like he fitted into the system and completed quite a few passes successfully.
Wasn't it Barker that followed up a low shot that Smickel might have failed to hold.

Let's not slag him off already.

That is just it her isnt a kid he is 21. I am not slating him but is he the answer to our problems without Barnes to fall back on as a sub striker. I would sooner that having no great choice ,Gus put Brennan Dickenson on the bench who is quick and has scored goals in the FL when he has been out on loan.

Largely because there isn't anyone else, yes he is.

As I have said as we are short of strikers I would sooner that Gus put Brennan Dickenson on the bench as he is verY quick and has whenever he has been out on loan scored goals in the FL. He would be the nearest to a ready made replacement for Buckley who is out with a hamstring injury.

He's a kid and it shows how desperately short up front we are to ask a youth team player to come on and make an impact against a very good side. Leave him alone.

wrong time to throw him in. At this stage of the season we need a Phillips, Wood, Beckford, etc type of striker to come on as sub.....not an untried kid.
