DJ not going anywhere today. Playing for the u21s.
And scored after 4 minutes.
I personally don’t mind DJ. I thought he’d be better for the money we paid for him but he has something about him & the below as our wingers isn’t bad:

I do think we’ll be looking to bring in another though bearing in mind Campbell is still young and Jes isn’t ours. Scully would be good (to bring in now with a view on next season).
Not tremendously surprised if Lincoln are offering first team football and we're saying he'll compete with Bonne and Leaburn for a starting spot
Suggests we’ve looked at bringing in a striker but this is the problem. We need the depth but can’t guarantee game time. Very much means we’re relying on Leaburn and Bonne staying fit and hoping Chuks can be an option off the bench.
Remember when we all felt like we were short of a decent striker?
Then we signed Bonne, (about to) let go of Stockley and are still in exactly the same position.
Money saved though I bet.
And love or hate Bonne. He's much much better than this crocked version of Stockley
Bonne hasn't scored a goal in over a year.
He's played a lot less minutes than Stockley and first half of this season he's been primarily used at the end of games in the Championship.
He was Ipswich's top scorer until they brought in better last season - he got 11 in the first half the season and then again became an option to close out games.
Would you be happy with Leaburn and Bonne (+ Aneke occasionally) as our promotion-chasing strikers for 2023/24?
I certainly wouldn't.
Absolutely not. We need at least two new forwards through the door in Summer. We need Kanu to go out on loan for the rest of the season too.
Aneke's contract simply needs terminating when this season is statistically over.

It's the main problem with DJ another with fitness issues that could and should be doing better. The whole reason we've kept half our squad is because their fitness is so shite.

What is the point in terminating Chuks contract? If we are going to pay him off we may as well keep him and use him off the bench for the few hours he is available a season.

Hasn't Aneke got 2 years left to run?
Surely the owner would have to pay him to the end of his contract to get rid of him. Even for a sick.ktw, it must be better to keep him at the club than waste two years salary for nothing.

2 years, 5 months, 1 day, 9 hours and 42 minutes.
As he only ever plays 20 minutes and is out most of the time that is 3 months and 2 days in "Chuckstime".

What is the point in terminating Chuks contract? If we are going to pay him off we may as well keep him and use him off the bench for the few hours he is available a season.
We're limited to 20 registered senior players, I believe. I'd prefer we didn't have to have this discussion, but that's a wasted spot if we're going to keep Chuks in there for around 360 minutes a season.
Going the rest of the season with Bonne,Leaburn , Aneke (when available) is dangerous even if we play 433
I'd like to think they've let Stockley go to sign a replacement that's more suited to Holden's style but I think that's unlikely.
Got to be signing at least 1 striker surely. And I mean a proper striker, not another 10 a season lump (we've already have Bonne).
This is exactly what I would hope will happen. I doubt it will though and we'll just sign Kilkenny as the 5th loanee and that'll be that.
Would be looking at getting Kanu a National League loan spell like Anderson has gone to Aldershot for.
We will end up of 6 loans. No way that Sessegnon, Todd and Penney all make the match day 18 anyway. We could always make one of latter 2 "permanent" outside the window anyway.
Not sure what the rush is getting Kanu out on loan either the rest of the season and a couple of cameos will do him good.

22 players, which doesn’t include goalkeepers and obviously u21s. I don’t think squad space will be a problem. Obviously his fitness record is pitiful, even if we only got 360 minutes out of him next season, I bet he’d still win us a few points. I’d take that over just paying him off and not having him - who knows, we might even be able to get him on the pitch as much as we did under Bowyer, although I’d be fucking amazed if that happened.
