Where do you get that from, and then yes maybe he does.

R Hutchinson has joined Cheltenham on a permanent.
Dixon didn’t play either.

To a certain level maybe. Depends on what else he can bring to the party. Theo Walcott struggled but he could finish alongside some of the best. I’m not sure Festy has that in his locker. 


 

Lost 1-0 with a Cashin own goal which kind of summed up both teams performances and the game in general.

Yes it does seem that we have no real pattern of play. Although we seem to be trying to emulate the 1st team in keeping possesion by passing backwards and sideways. ?

Wow I’m shocked at that. He may be half decent normally but I couldn’t even find words for him first half tonight!!

His dribbling was good, but he fell away a lot in the second half and his end product was nothing short of horrific. 

ducking awful. Tried to pass it backwards and sideways until Coventry slipped into a coma but they never did. I did.

Yeah but apart from all that….just what did he do for Newcastle ??

Well he ain’t no Roman(Abramovich) I’ll grant you that 

Yeah but apart from that…..

He’s wearing the pink bib which clearly indicates that he’s the ‘magic man’ and can’t be tackled! I’d hardly say that’s grounds for 15 mins in an FA cup game!!

You can’t start trying to change what he is or expect something he isn’t.
Anyone who’s seen him in the 23s knows he’s a holding midfield player who passes the ball nicely to retain possession and keeps it safe. 
Today pass nos / % were high to due to how they decided to defend the lead and it’s cost them eventually, but LT passes were 50% higher than last game and 10% increased accuracy. However I feel that’s more to do with where those passes were played from and too than a measure of his performance level being better.
However, is isn’t ever going to be a player that takes risks with the ball and passes forwards and it’s clearly not what the staff want from him or we’d see one of the more risk taking players ahead of him. 

He’ll score

Fair play to him it was a super finish from a super pass.
I guess it does prove that if you get opportunities after being a bit below par you have every chance of improving…as opposed to never seeing that second opportunity.
