How is that obvious? Wagstaff played a big part in pre-season and, providing he stays, will take some part in at least 25-30 games this season I would imagine. The season is about the squad, not the team.
Powell is playing with four central midfielders because we don't want to be overrun in the centre. Let's start the season with a solid platform and not be playing catch-up come November. Maybe if we're still playing well 15-20 games into the season we can begin to branch out and start with out-and-out wingers.
But we're in a better league now, we're no longer the big fish and these are risks we simply can't take at this stage.
Five points from three games isn't too bad and is a lot more than most would've predicted.
Not a lot between waggy and green. Both offer different things. Both pretty fast, both got an eye for goal. Waggys crossing nowhere near Green but greens defending nowhere near Waggys. I'd keep them both if we can but of forest offer anything above 500-600k then we should consider it
How can you possibly say Cook has progressed more than Waggy? - He has played a cumulative 20 mins for us!!!!
agree, thats why I said his comments have no substance. He says cook is progressing, but how can anybody no that? Nobody knew exactly what he was like when he arrived and he's barely played, albeit impressed when he has. Hardly progressing though.
If wagstaff isn't considered good enough to be in the matchday squad of 18 then that doesn't bode well for him does it.
If he can't impress when coming on from thr bench like Kermo did last year for a while then how will he break into the team ?
Can't see CP rewarding great performances in training with a recall .... The only way he's getting on the bench or in the team is if we get an injury or suspension to Pritchard or Green as far as I can see.

Its fitness keeping him out of the 18 primarily. A fully fit Wagstaff would be competing with Green and probably Kerkar for two places on the bench.
Once Fuller and Haynes are fit they should be on the bench. If we can bring in a CM that's another player that needs to be there.
That'll leave one spot for a winger, and we could have 4 to choose from. Probably Cook as he's the most versatile.
If a decent offer comes in for Waggy or Green they could well be sold. Had hoped we'd sign a player to improve on both of them. Looks like we can't afford that so will settle for Pritchard's more all round game and making ourselves hard to beat.

Waggy has a calf injury that he picked up against Orient.

Pretty sure Kerkar gets here due to the quality of his left foot. Green the quality of his right foot

Wagstaff hasn't "progressed"
You'll do well as a journalist with such sweeping, unsubstantiated cliches
He was at a prem club and was let go. Now he's at a champ club so is going backwards.
But that is as silly as saying three league games in that a player hasn't progresed. Especially when he is our joint top scorer.

Perhaps Powell thinks Wagstaff's game is more suited to League 1 with Green more suited to the Champ.
