He’s backup for Campbell now, for me . Once again, Jones has fortunately stumbled upon balance and it worked .Chris_from_Sidcup said:I'm prepared to cut him some slack if he's been playing through injury but that of course then leads to the question that given how poor he has been, why the fuck has Jones kept starting him?3 -
Can't argue with that, although i wouldn't be surprised to see Grant start at Wolves.wmcf123 said:

Jamaica play in the early hours of Weds 18th away in Mexico. At the very earliest Campbell is going to arrive back in London at some point on the Thursday, and then we'll travel to Wolves on the Friday.
I would personally rather bench TC for that so he's fresh for Lincoln at home on the Tuesday night.10 -
What is his injury - bruised ego?3

He's been awful so no idea why NJ insisted on playing him through an injury. I think Karlan has done him a favour yesterday by saying he can't play.

Always funny to me that when things are going badly it’s all on NJ and bad luck doesn’t matter and then when he does well he’s “stumbled” across the right thing to do, just like he did with Small. As if it was a total mistakewmcf123 said:

We’ve been crowbarring him in the team which unbalances us, and he’s been shit, hopefully he took note of a team making a real effort yesterday and tries to do the same if he gets the opportunity, for me he should only be an option off the bench until he starts showing up.2

It’s true though, isn’t it ? He didn’t use Small on the right until injuries necessitated it.fenaddick said:

He was an underwhelming signing for me. Probably unnecessarily expensive wage bill for the return we will see. Hope he's binned off at the end of the season.1

I’m hoping his poor performances have been down to injury.4

There's a chance NJ has pushed him to play beyond the pain barrier and that's why his performances, attitude and quality has dipped. Not sure as hard to tell.2

Biggest disappointment for me is that he never takes players on. He’s had some occasional good moments with the ball but I thought the idea of signing him was to add another player with pace who’d take players on.
Not sure the energy has been there consistently enough either, but that’s been a problem with the team in general and they increase in tempo, aggression and intensity was what made a big difference on Saturday.1 -
Probably would have ended up a decent signing if TC went and could play his best position week in week out , but just shoehorning him into the side for the sake of it similar when we were obsessed with TC at wingback or in a 2 striker formation2

Doubt it, he'll only have one more season and run it down for another free transfer.Redspace said:He was an underwhelming signing for me. Probably unnecessarily expensive wage bill for the return we will see. Hope he's binned off at the end of the season.0 -
We’ve won one in twelve game after losing four in a row with the team changing constantly.fenaddick said:

Or maybe the players finally did all the stuff he’s been talking about in the post match interviews for about 2 months. No doubt he’s been saying the same stuff at the training ground too. He’s been tinkering to find the right formula and he might have found it. I’m not sure trial and error is the most effective method but it is also isn’t “stumbling” onto somethingAberystwythAddick said:

Nathan criticised for having no Plan B. But he also gets criticised for not getting it right until he's on Plan X.5

He had actually already tried it before Northampton, away at Huddersfield. But it didn’t really work that well that game (not helped by a Docherty red card)wmcf123 said:

We also had REG fit who could play there so it wasn’t even last resort1 -
I think if played on the left more we’d see more of that 1v1 ability. He’s too predictable on the right because the defender knows he’s not going to go insideScoham said:Biggest disappointment for me is that he never takes players on.

He might get his chance at Wolves, with TC away with Jamaica and getting back late in the week I think it’s likely Grant plays on the left at wolves and we save TC for Lincoln0
