    I suspect he will now leave without playing again. 

    A fully fit Ledley would have been a better option than Oshilija. However I cannot complain after Beckensarr's winner. 
    Admire your optimism but wasn’t a winner unfortunately...

    Sorry. 

    It felt like a winner.
    I have  now corrected my earlier post.

    If he is not match fit, he should have been playing for U23s. A Driesen signing?

    Originally I thought this was a sensible signing on the basis he had apparently been training with Cardiff and I assumed he would at least be able to come on for the last 20 minutes or so of certain games, perhaps to ease Pratley’s workload. Also to be less reliant on inexperienced youngsters. Having only played for 45 minutes at Boro and not a minute since, it feels like this hasn’t worked out how LB envisaged it might.

    I can see why he didn’t come on at the weekend with us chasing the game but was surprised he wasn’t used vs Hull. If we’re 1-0 up with 15 minutes to go vs Brizzle I suspect we may see him.

    I hope he is now eased into action. 

    I still think it was the right move to bring him in, but I was staggered to see him start. 

    I wonder whether Joe really wants to try to be a late contender for Wales's Euro Qualification or whether we are just a stop off to get fit for a MLS move?

    He was linked with Chicago Fire a couple of weeks ago but I hope it is the former and he makes an impact in this month.
    Looks like it might be the MLS option. 

    Cawley says he has a move lined up in February.

    Not surprised there were rumours he was off to the MLS before he signed for us

    Confirmed he's going. https://charlton.vitalfootball.co.uk/lee-bowyer-reveals-a-departure-from-the-squad/amp/

    Not that we needed to be told.

    It is what it is. We are desperate and he is an available body. He will either do us a turn or we will find out very quickly why he has been without a club since January and didn’t cut it with Derby. I hope for the former but suspect the latter I’m afraid. 
    Don’t like to say I told you so......what a waste of time that was.

    An odd signing

    The most odd thing was that he started the first game then hasn't played a minute since. You'd have thought he'd maybe not play to begin with but be starting matches now.

    Yeah really weird. And we were told how fit he was. A signing we’ll quickly forget.

    He might still play in the next couple of matches....

    He might as well not be on the bench.

    Signed 6th December and I’m sure I read after it was a months contract so I’d imagine the 5th Jan.

    "it's down to me now to find a club and play as many games as I can. My boy is two, he's into his football and he wants to watch me play for my country and at a club as well."

    Our midfield couldn't have been much weaker and he couldn't get in it, surely there was effort missing in training for him not to have been involved.

    He played the first 45 minutes in our worst performance of the season and was subbed off at half time, and then never seen again.

    His name has to be in there on the ‘worst ever signings’ threads in future, surely.
