But it does mean Pearce can be our first choice defender, which is good news, hey guys?

That has already been done for the mighty Akpo Sodje. My memory is very hazy but along the lines of:shine166 said:Forster... forster caskey. Sung to Paparazzi by lady gaga, I need some help on more lyrics if anyone else wants to chip in lol
you’re the greatest player,
we’ll follow you around the country,
Akpo, Akpo Sodje!Weird that it never really took off....1 -
He stepped up and added a bit of grit to his game at the weekend which is exactly what I was fearing he wouldn’t be able to do. More of the same in future fixtures please.1

This. As recently as a month ago I would have had him behind Watson, pratley, shinnie, Morgan and even gilbey. He was my scape goat and Is proving me wrong. hope it continuesCallumcafc said:He stepped up and added a bit of grit to his game at the weekend which is exactly what I was fearing he wouldn’t be able to do.

A month ago he was. He's been very poor for 90% of his CAFC career (even if it was down to injuries).Todds_right_hook said:

In the last few games he's been completely different and twice the player.
I see nothing wrong in commenting honestly, whether someone plays good, bad or indifferently.5 -
Bow's not going to pick him for a month now.0

He has got his chance an taken it. I honestly thought he would struggle to be any more of a bit part player after the injuries, but he has certainly stepped up and grabbed his chance with both hands. Probably been our stand out player for the last 4 or 5 games.Todds_right_hook said:

Not been his biggest fan but definitely brought an improvement and better shape to the team in last two games.6

You don't say... 😀AFKABartram said:I’m not one to slag off players but I was as excited by JFC triggering his contract extension as I was by Mrs AFKA saying we’re having fish and chips on Friday and realising she means oven F&C and not from the chippy.

90% is a bit OTT. He was one of the first names on the team sheet from when he first signed to when he done his ACL. Since then he’s been very poor until the last month or soCovered End said:

Was much needed and it’s why neither side are completely wrong when some don’t rate him while others do and see potential there.Addickted2TheReds said:
It’s the difference between Jake Forster-Coasting, a mediocre League 1 midfielder who sits in the middle having the odd nice touch and Jake Forster-Classy who gets box to box, offers something defensively, picks out dangerous passes/crosses and scores goals.
More of the latter please, that’s a player I want us to keep. The former can go in the summer.10 -
And me - atm he's playing very well although he's predominantly what i'd call a neat and tidy footballer and not one who is going to be the answer for what we are looking to do in the more medium to long term but hats off to him, he's getting better and better every week, right on his game and well worthy of his place in the side.Todds_right_hook said:

I think JFC’s form shows that it takes most players a run of starts to play themselves into form, something none of our players have really had this season up to now.12

agreed - also helps if your a central midfielder, to be played in central midfieldCovered_End_Lad said:I think JFC’s form shows that it takes most players a run of starts to play themselves into form, something none of our players have really had this season up to now.0 -

Yeah thought it was tactical if it was an injury, hopefully it's safeguarding.AFKABartram said:@PopIcon asked:

I think we need to change the thread title to
Jerome Forster-Caskey (ed. Signs a new contract extension to 2021)
Because according to the commentators on Radio Cambridgeshire thats his name, they called him that everytime he touched the ball today5 -

We all dream of a team of Forster-Caskeys, Forster-Caskeys, Forster-Caskeys
Number 1 is Jerome Forster-Caskey
Number 2 is Jordan Forster-Caskey

Should never have been subbed off, booking or no booking2

I imagine that was more to protect him from injuryLeuth said:Should never have been subbed off, booking or no booking
Before the match Bowyer mentioned that JFC is another whose minutes has to be monitored1 -
Before last night, he had played the last five 90 minutes in a row, and 6 of the last 7 too. He hasn’t managed that since April 2018. Three months off of 3 years.Oggy Red said:
The pitch last night was horrific, conditions appalling.
We have a game on Saturday, then Tuesday, then Saturday again. F-Caskey will start each of those 3.
If he completed 90 yesterday, he would’ve been a very high risk to have had to have been completely left out altogether in one of the next 2 games.Let’s ensure he’s available to play as much as possible for the rest of the season. If that means once every handful of games he has to come off for his own safety and reducing the risk of injury, so be it.
Rather that than put him in danger of injury and losing him for a month than missing out on the extra 30 minutes or so.
Until he has continuous built up those minutes, which will happen, this is the best way to manage him and keep him playing to the standard he has been of late.10 -
In retrospect, the loss of Morgan to the red card was costly, as Morgan would have been a much better sub to bring for JFC2
