Overlooking Sibley when we can scarcely score remains criminal.
He is one of, if not the only player, seemingly capable of pulling out a goal from nowhere.
Fitting him in shouldn't be an issue as he can play central, attacking or wide as needed. 
If Rooney's going to start looking at Lawrence being the saviour in a game or 2 it's difficult to see what he brings that Sibley can't.
Rooney saw the hattrick V Millwall first hand, and you would have thought from his career that he'd have an appreciation for a Scholes/Gerrard/Lampard type.

I think it is a combination of two things - physical strength and temperament. 
His upper body strength allows him to be pushed off the ball too easily. I think he's busy working on that from bits I have seen on his social media.
His temperament is different,  I think he's got to curb that if he wants to progress. Picked up another booking last night despite only being on the pitch a few minutes.
I think this aggression is partly a response to coming out on the wrong side of physical battles and then retaliating, so is actually linked to his physical strength. Let's hope as the first improves, the other does too.
Louie for me is the most exciting of our younger players in terms of what he could bring to the team creativity wise. Just needs to keep working at it and he will get there.
As others have mentioned, he'd get more game time if we weren't in such a precarious position in the table.

Given that we've scored 17 goals in 27 games I am at a bit of a loss why Sibley is not getting more game time. He is an up and down player but has shown how creative he can be in the past and we are screaming out for that right now. 

So frustrating. I can't for the life of me understand how Waghorn gets to start ahead of Sibley. I fail to see what wags really brings to the team. For someone of his experience his tackling is atrocious and crosses are wasteful. 
Rooney says anyone who trains hard deserves a place in the team. All I can think is he must work his socks off in training but I fail to see what he really offers on the pitch! Surely there's no way he can start against Barnsley?

I was at a loss as to why Sibley wasn't brought on much sooner yesterday. I'm still rattled by it.
Against the Rotherhams of this league, who'll hurry you any time you're on the ball and mainly look to attack on the counter, you know you're in for a game where confidence and creativity on the ball (particularly in the middle of the park) are essential if you want to be creating chances. Bielik had this in abundance, with him now out for the season we need to replace that in this key position. Sibley is perfect for this.
Bird and Shinnie are not creative players in the way Bielik and Sibley are. Knight can play positively, but if we're setting up with 2 box-to-box midfielders and a DM in Bird, who is a keep-the-ball/do-the-basics kind of midfielder and not a creative type, then we'll struggle to open teams up, and we won't go about attacks with much purpose at all, as was on show yesterday. Have Sibley in there and you'll have a player who can feed the Jozwiaks, CKRs, and who'll create chances for himself too. 
Having CKR and Waghorn on the pitch at the same time (why Rooney uses Waghorn as a winger is beyond me, I love the bloke but in that position he is utterly useless), then atm we're left with Jozwiak and Knight as our only real creative outlets going forward (2/5 of our outfield players that aren't defenders...), until Byrne and Buchanan have chance to join in any attacks. 
I understand people's points about Sibley's discipline, he needs to cut out the silly fouls as these have been hurting us. I don't agree that his lack of defensive nous is an issue though, with Shinnie and Bird in there do we really need the 3rd CM to be defensively minded as well? You can see the burden on Jozwiak to create a bit of magic whenever he's on the ball atm, because CKR and Waghorn are the types of players that need chances creating for them to finish, not the other way round. 
Roberts will hopefully be starting soon which will help having another player who can make things happen on the ball. But for the life of me I can't see why Rooney doesn't give Sibley more of a chance in games where we know we'll be needing that bit of magic to open teams up. People say he's had a 'dip in form' but I'd argue he's barely had a sniff under Rooney so far. 
Rant over! 
 
 

Please don’t use Joz. Its taken me an hour to realise you’re not talking about Josefzoon! 

Just on trial with a view to perm from what I've gathered 

FTFY. He will need to speak with Tyrone Mears about that. 

To pay his wages on time

Promising him what? The suspense is killing m..

Should we all just have a nap until 11pm? ?

Well if he signs at least that's his song sorted

excellent signing with the state of the pitch he will plough through that and grab a hat trick in no time ? . 
 
 

I thought he’d be a better fit for Leicester ?. 

Playing for the Slovenian U21s now. Against Germany a few days ago and then Russia the other night. Central midfield, I think. 
 

Great commentary.
I was always convinced Timi was going to be a star,what do I know.

If I have a plea to the club at the moment, it is to give us better match reports on the academy games with full team news, starting 11 and subs. 
Without being there and with no access to the teamsheets we picked up at games it is really difficult to keep track of the young players. 
There are so many people associated with the club pitchside on matchdays it wouldn't be too much to ask, would it? I noticed Waggy was loitering at the Moor Farm game - good to see by the way - maybe he could diversify a little? ?

Finally managed to work out who is who from this season’s first-year scholars.

Left to right: Harvey Randle, Charlie Rutt, Cian Kelly Caprani, Eli Christie, Alfie Roberts, Dylan Williams, Olamide Ibrahim, Rhys Brailsford, Marko Borkovic.

I know it was only Kidderminster... but duck me, our Academy lads play some good football!
Tyree Wilson (number 10) is going to be one hell of a player. It's rare to see close control and vision like that at this stage in a footballer's career.

Love these stories, they're interesting enough about our legendary old timers, but they have also highlighted and in this case rectified long held injustices. 
Congrats to both you and of course Jimmy.
Will there be a book at the end of it? You write quite eloquently, and maybe DCFC could help with images and publication.
