GrahamC Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Doesn't even make the bench for QPR tonight, so far this season he's played just 33 minutes of league football.That 3 year contract is going to pretty expensive for them if they never play him..

Alex_BCFC Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Really pointless signing by QPR and sadly pointless for JET too. Wasted there when he should be playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Really pointless signing by QPR and sadly pointless for JET too. Wasted there when he should be playing for us.I imagine both parties were fully expecting Charlie Austin to have been sold. I think he may still have a role to play there. What with their start and his laboured attitude, and being a newbie, perhaps it's a conscious decision in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Is it just me that thinks that Jet could read Kodijas runs better than anyone we currently have, those two could have been scarily dangerous.

Davefevs Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Back in London, well paid contract and a music scene....what more would the lad want? ;-)Think you've hit the nail on the head. I wonder how many of us (knowing nothing of JET's real character) thought his lack of game time last season would lead to disharmony in the camp? I did.Yet, he almost appeared happier on the bench, coming on for the odd cameo appearance.Not hugely surprised he hasn't had more game time though at QPR.

All the negativity I've felt over the course of the summer window would evaporate if it happened. It won't. I think QPR were expecting Austin and Phillips to leave.

It happens though. Pro footballers get a lot of time off. Some get interested in stuff outside of football and it starts to consume their lives. They actually look forward to participating in those interests over football. It has in the past taken their eye off their 'job'. And for many...that's just how they see it...a 'job'. Some have lost that passion for the game. I know ex footballers who have told me, that they started to hate the game when playing....and all they looked forward to and thought about, was in these instances, their next round of golf or trip to see their race horse.Not saying that's the case with JET... as I don't know him....but it wouldn't surprise me.

Northern Red Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Let's face it, if he did have the focus and attitude to match his talent then he wouldn't have spent the last 2 years in League 1.Liked him a lot while he was here but he's gone, and certain people need to get over it.

I've tried hard, really I have but then RedRum has to go and mention the prospect of Jet reading one of Kodjia's runs and I'm in bits again.

Even with parachute payments they waste so much money its unbelievable. I'm assuming JET is on at least 10k a week, the fact that he can't even make the bench is beyond farcical.Hope they have a crap season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I think he would have filled in nicely for Freeman in his absence - we would have missed those fantastic performances from Reid and by now I think he would be assuming the same position he is in at QPR.For him QPR represent a team with a better opportunity to get to the prem and a club willing to give him more money - so bench here or bench there.This maybe dull but we need to focus on defending - going forward is not our problem.

Bs4Red Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I enjoyed watching JET but he will always be a player who performs when he fancies it. He never fit into Cotts philosophy, we have a team full of workers and JET was always the stand out player for NOT working hard.Personally think getting rid of him was a great decision and I stand by that. The bloke was on around 12k and has been found out by clubs at this level time and time again. Unless he changed his attitude he will always be known as a waste of talent.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Football appears to be a means to an end, a hobby to fund his real hobbies.Austin and Phillips still being at the club is just a pair of red herrings.His championship record is poor.

Ashtonboy Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 His attitude has never been in question, its always been spot on.His application may leave a bit to be desired but that is common with a lot of gifted footballers like him and its no good trying to harness players like that and shoe horn them into being something they are not - Trundle was a perfect example of that under GJ. A total waste of his talent being at BCFC.I'd have JET back 100%, it was a shame he left and a shame people (both supporters and those in the game) are still stuck with the British mentality of how football should be played. We'll never win anything with that mentality. His attitude surely had a hell of an effect on his application to a fitness regime that made him virtually unavailable until December last season. Great player, with the ability to take your breath away in very short spurts. Not the sort of player to get us out of the championship, where he has previously failed. Whether he wanted to stay or not, leaving was the best option for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
