Is his career with us done before it’s even started?

seemingly can’t get a game, 17YO’s being selected over him. Is it that he’s not performing in training? Does he simply not suit the way we play nor fit in to the formation we play? 
genuinely would love to see him get a regular chance but is he simply another szmodics who was signed on a good deal but immediately not liked by the manager so ends up leaving quickly due to lack of opportunity?

would be a shame given he is so highly rated. Would definitely do well at other championship clubs given the chance.

17 year old plays a different position

But you would agree that overall, his injury record with us makes for sad reading? 

Yesterday was the first game he has missed all season. We have at least 8 players in the squad who have missed more games though injury

Second, missed the opener but agree this is a complete overreaction.

Sorry thought we were talking about William

I still think Pearson was lying  

it was part of the deal. You can sign him but have to say he is injured for at least 2 months

 not sure why it is a brave decision, he is an actor playing a character. The same as the actor playing Peter Sutcliffe on the other side

Good luck Thomas.

The bigger issue is though is that it brings to an end the sorry tail of paying Chelsea £8M for Kalas, £2M for DaSilva & £2M for KP45 all had big wages and all left for nothing. An absolute disgraceful waste of club finances.

We got a fee for KP45

Dave, we had a discussion about NP a season or so back regarding his (roughly) 32% win ratio. You were at pains to explain to me that a win ratio does not tell the whole story.

@wendyredredrobin has understandably, imo, raised the issue of lack of shots on target: 4 in 270 mins. Again you say that this doesn't tell the whole story.

I dont think I'm entirely alone in having a much more simplistic view of football compared to you. I pays me money to be entertained, to get excited- even briefly. I obviously want to see goal attempts even if they don't go in!

I love fine food and know what tastes good without always knowing the ingredients, the process or the chef. BCFC ,in footballing terms, are serving up a pretty poor meal more often than not and for many of us - it is the story.

A shot that dribbles towards the keeper is counted as a shot on target. A volley that is heading for the top corner and blocked by a defender is not. A soft header a keeper could throw his cap over is counted as a shot on target. A diving header thudding against the inside of the post and bouncing clear is not.  

Shots on target is such a misleading stat and totally irrelevant

Am I reading too much into the fact it’s Lansdown giving a statement and not Nige/Tinnion/Alexander?
