    The fact that Laqeretabua has jumped ahead in the queue is almost damning for Asiimwe

    Josh hasn't looked too out of place for the most part either... Yes he's been a bit green at times, and it was unbelievably stupid from our Defence to have him marking Sweeney against Burton (especially when they went looking for a penalty), but that wasnt his fault.

    Seems baffling that we decided to recall Asiimwe at all.
    I don't think we did, I think his loan expired and we decided not to extend it. That could be that NJ wanted to see if he was ready or that we weren't happy that Hartlepool were reportedly playing him higher up the pitch rather than RB. Defensively he has so much to learn and he won't be able to if he isn't actually playing RB/RWB
    Defensively he's not that bad anyway, especially when playing at wing back. And definitely better defensively than T Campbell.

    It's frankly baffling that he's not even considered an option by Jones.
    Comparing him with TC isn’t fair, they’re asked to do different jobs. TC’s main priority at RWB is more attacking than Asiimwe’s

    Asiimwe is an attacking full/wing back though, so the role they would play wouldn't be that different in effect.

    He’s not a winger being converted into a wingback, he’s naturally more defensive 
  • My theory of Nathan is it takes him 15-20 minutes to get into a game, after that he is fine, but early on he can make a mistake or two.

    Except TC can't defend at all.

    And as it takes Nathan Jones 60 minutes to work out what an acceptable starting formation is that doesnt work well.
