    My view - Jakes not going to play the wide roles in midfield, and he’s not going to replace Dobson or Fraser, so there’s no starting role for him unless we change the formation. 

    Should he be on the bench - maybe, depends on the contract clause. If I’m Garner, and I know we’re on a tight budget, I’m not sticking him on the bench if it means I can’t spend the money elsewhere in January. I’m not giving Jake a pay rise to be a bench player. Now if Dobson or Fraser get injured.that might change. 

    That sort of makes sense of the answers we’ve heard - Garner hasn’t been told he can’t play him, but there is a potential budget implication if he does. If he wants to keep as much money available as he can for a forward and/or a left back, why blow money on a back up midfielder. 
    I think this is the case.

    I think JFC was on the pitch for about 10 seconds before we equalised  :D

    He didn't have much to do with the goal other than nearly nicking the ball from Aneke.

    I thought he part shielded the ball from a Burton player at the same time Chucks did …

    We certainly gained a bit more control in midfield when he came on. Dobson was poor today, but we did improve with the ball, even if it wasn’t by a lot, when JFC came on. I hope he gets more minutes because his ability to play through teams, pick a pass, and dictate the tempo is desperately needed against sides who like to sit in or try to make things difficult.

    Definitely feel we would’ve gained at least 2 more points against all those teams below us where we have drawn if JFC came on and helped to make things happen.

    With all the injuries, he’s likely to play more and I hope he sticks around.

    Have to say I didn’t actually really think JFC did much when he came on today, or at least affect the game as much as he has done in previous fixtures we have seen him.

    However it was great to see him on the pitch in a league game, and with Garner bemoaning us running in fumes hopefully we can utilise him some more now.

    What others in attendance this afternoon have failed to impart, is that as soon as JFC entered the field of play, a bucket was passed around the away areas for donations towards his wage increase....

    Thanks, Thomas.

    But I was told JFC was the  second coming of Christ!  Is he not?


    no.  He’s slow and off the pace now.  Sad but true

    That’s bullshit, people just wanted him to be given a chance. To isolate him tonight when so many others were equally as poor is a bit ridiculous.

    He can do one.  Been here too long.  Should never have renewed his contract at the end of last season

    Maybe not.  But fitter than he is.

    He’s not the only player I want to shoot tonight. But he’s the one with a thread dedicated to highlighting his awesomeness and how he should be playing.
    pretty much all of them were dire today

    I product of fans elevating or having expectations of a players ability above what it is because they are not featuring in the current underperforming team. It is the same with Aneke, and is in a similar vein to the 'give the youth a chance' comments you always hear as well.

    Unfortunately our problems run a lot deeper than one or two players being able to come in and change how we are performing as a whole.

    We lack depth, and the ability to have a consistent 11 which stems from years of mismanagement from the top.

    Was poor tonight but I still think he should have been used more than he has this season. The Stevenage game proved he’s still got the quality to make an impact even if he doesn’t have the mobility and fitness that he used to. Putting him in a midfield 2 from the start when he isn’t fit/mobile was a recipe for disaster. Needs to be in a 3 or the best way to use him would be as an impact sub like at Stevenage

    Left back when Sess not playing. With Dobson and Fraser otherwise. IF he gets up to speed, he's better than Morgan and our shape will be tighter.

    But he can't tackle! Fed up of out of position players - Sess needed at right back with Egbo out - should never have started the season with no proper left back.

    good player on his day, but his days were a while back .. shame that he has had several nasty injuries, however he now looks slow and past it .. it happens to thousands of professional sportsmen, no shame in facing up to it

    The JFC at left back is a myth IMHO which was created at Fulham in a TV game. Iirc that day he played as a LWB and did very well helping in the move where Gallagher scored and his skill was effective going forward.

    However, defensively he wasn't so effective. I don't think it would work.

    I would never play him left back out of choice but I doubt he would be any worse than Clayden, Clare or Chinn.

    Toby Bower is a very good attacking left back. Captain of the under 18s. Really good crosses that would suit Stockley and Bower scores great goals.

    At least JFC was trying to pass forwards. He reads the game better than most.

    JFC can use his left foot for a start and he did play LB on another occasion  (although can't remember where). I like the way he reads the game. Chris Powell wasn't quick but read the game and used his body position to maximum advantage, when shielding. I see certain similarities, albeit at a much lower level.

    Plus it does get him on the pitch, so could take free-kicks & corners if necessary. When was the last time we scored from a direct free kick? (I'm not counting Elliot Lee last season...no way he meant to score). There might have been one this season but I can't recall. 

    He's got to be better than an out of position Chin or Clayden.
