Odds of that are slim though and he's probably on a very decent contract for us. Think its a pretty ballsy move by DS binning two of the guys who you would probably say are the leaders. Just leaves Naismith of that same level. If they are 'leaders' then time for new ones buddy, in case our form for 3 years and current plight has escaped your notice 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Feel a bit sorry for uche as he gives his all, gives us something a bit different and seems to love the club. Would prefer we got rid of mclean and wighton before him. Also berra. He's been a good servant to the club and a good ambassador. Granted his performances have dipped but was disappointing to hear he was upset and angry about being told he wasnt needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDS Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thing everything depends on the injury list seeing if anyone will be back in the next few months or if at all.

Prof Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think it’s clear that DS looked at our players and then thought WTF.

I’ve also always had a bizarre feeling that Wighton will one day come good (based on no real evidence). Otherwise delighted with the list of players told they can go. Looking forward to finding out who might be incoming. Boyce seems to have gone quiet but would be a great signing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think a mass clear out is needed. However, If we cannot offload these players - we may not be able to recruit. Leaving us with players disillusioned and uninterested, it's a tricky balancing act in a very small time scale. We need to be careful here.

micole Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 IMO the manager will make his own decisions and if that means letting certain players go then so be it. A football manager lives or dies by his decision, so DS has my support and hopefully he will get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The reserve team is doing well, lots of new signings. Happy with most going tbh, but we need replacements. Those saying injured players to come back, must the irony in that. Many have said that for months under CL. We need more players now and better than what is going out.

It was obvious from day one he wasn't competent or technically capable in front of goal, its hard to believe he has not been constantly worked on these deficiencies in every training session since signing but again obvious he has not. Would be interesting to see what a good striker coach could do with him and he is definitely a could be type player if that happened. Maybe the club will find it easier to sign a player already up to scratch though but watching the big guy charging at people certainly is rousing on match day.

And for such a physical, athletic guy he doesn't seem to win any headers. Number of times our goak kick comes straight back is frustrating. He seems to rarely look at the ball and often plays the man. I don't think he is good enough but worth keeping as an option. Badly need a goal scorer this window.

Jodami Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I can imagine playing with Uche must be very frustrating. Good move to create a chance for him, missed. Easy lay off to play you in, miskicks or just doesn’t see it. On the angle 30 yards out with players in the box, shoots wildly. On top of this there are the needless free kicks. I'm not saying that some of the time he isn't fouled but he never learns and his reputation with referees almost guarantees no penalty will ever be given. He is honest, tries hard but in the situation we are in we need someone who can link and take some of the chances. Not hard to see why we would let him go.
