I mentioned him on the Stockley 3 match ban thread as another forward option if he’s fit in time. Ironically he was playing centrally early on in one of the cup games when he picked up his latest injury.
He has more movement than Stockley, a bit of physicality about him, and is certainly better with the ball at his feet - and as Sage mentioned his favourite position is through the centre.
I’d certainly think he would be worth a go, and we are bereft of options. My suspicion is if he was any good in that position he would have nailed a place down there at some point in his career already, and if anything he probably needs a Stockley to work off and occupy defenders.
Clutching at straws if we think he’s going to come back and be an ‘option’
That’s the problem with this squad though. So poor that when one of them is out injured you forget/convince yourself that so and so had a good game once, perhaps he can come back and do a job.
It’s like owning an old house that’s falling apart and you make do with defects

Sorry mate but we’re down to the bare bones, someone who has made over 80 league and cup appearances in his career has got to be an option over young kids whose careers we might stall by asking too much of them too soon like we did with Pigott and Ahern-Grant to an extent.
I’m not his number one fan and you certainly aren’t. He’s behind CBT and JRS out wide and possibly Campbell but without Stockley, Leaburn and Chucks for an hour every game, like it or not he will be an option if he’s fit even if just from the bench for one of the front three positions 😉.

Yes, given the context. However, he’s not someone that will come good or in the long term offer anything to improve us. Appreciate given our situation it’s timely he’s back. I should’ve made myself clear that I was speaking in terms of improving us.

Fair enough, we can but hope he offers more on a consistent basis than we’ve seen so far especially as he’s on a 3&1/2 year contract. The fact that he almost went on loan to Mansfield in the last transfer window however would indicate he was surplus to requirements then and or in need of regular football to sharpen him up. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s moved on before his contact is up though.
Good, another one that just never worked out. The best he played in a game involving Charlton was against us when he tore Maatsen to shreds.
Lavelle, captain at Morecambe, looked good for them, poor for us DJ, looked good at Swindon, played well against us twice, average at best for us Charlie Kirk, very good at Crewe, excellent prospect, poor for us MacGillivray, POTY at Pompey, poor for us

This is true.
Hang on you forgot the Sheff Wed home match when Tommy boy strummed his way around the pitch. DJ was unplayable that day. Well at least according to Adkins anyhow.
Anyway thanks for everything DJ. Or should we now rename you Wimbledon..
