With Hemed getting his first start, there's no room for young Josh Davison ...... the lad has done his best though, despite being a huge step up from non-League.
Yeah a bit disappointed for him
A bit of perspective though.
A year ago, as a raw teenager playing for Enfield Town way down the football pyramid, he could never have dreamed that he'd get a run of games in the Championship, scoring a vital goal against the League leaders.
Regardless of how well he's played overall, he struggled a bit last weekend against experienced centre backs. It won't do him any harm to be rested now - plus the experience gained will stand him in good stead in future.

My key worker is a Fulham fan and is going tonight, was talking to him earlier and he said Hector has really impressed in his 3 games, he agreed a deal in September with them but was obviously unable to play until Jan but has been training with them

Oh god yeah - In all fairness his performance wasnt good enough on Saturday for that of a Championship striker
Just a shame he's not at least on the bench
But end of the day there is no room for sentiment in the game nor is there room in the matchday squad for everyone
Probably needs a rest but thought Davison would be on the bench. Can Taylor play 80 mins if Hemed gets injured early doors? Assume Doughty a wing back and if so midfield a bit pedestrian.
Well you dont know whats going on inside Lyle's head (probably saying: must not tweet over and over) but have a good laugh out on the pitch with Doughty at the moment

He's just trying to show any watching scouts that he's a decent bloke and team player

Hi Forever, thanks for replying.
1) Trouble is, most strikers are only as good as the support and service they get. It was hard for him to plough a lonely furrow against experienced and savvy CBs, especially when there were periods when our midfield was over run and Davison left isolated.
2) If Taylor wasn't back, then Davison (assuming he's fit) would be on the bench to cover Hemed.
3) IMO the first thing to take on board tonight is that the formation and game plan has changed - plus experienced players have been added into the 18. I can't imagine any Championship manager could take a risk by being sentimental; the result is all important. Davison might have been a League player for only a few months, but he would have learned already that it's a squad game.

I would imagine there's a strong chance Davison will go out on loan, maybe to League 2, if we can get a striker in the door by the end of the window and Taylor doesn't leave.
The kid can be proud of his contribution to our season, but he's not Championship standard yet and needs games somewhere.

No Knockaert or Mitrovic is a good time to play Fulham.
