ridiculous situation JFC is the best midfielder we have and should be one of the first names on the team sheet if theres a problem it should be sorted by the manager,is that not what his paid for ,to manage players and get the best out of them for the team ? very poor how this has been managed so far by Garner3

Don't see how anyone can claim JFC is our best midfielder after watching the cup games this season.
He isn't that good and is only being called for because he's not playing.9 -
Is this situation another Martin Sandgaard cock-up? Martin says to Dad "Yes, extend his contract, my little black box says we will be able to make money selling him on", only for the reality to be that no-one wanted to take the risk on a player with a serious injury problem, apart from Wimbledon who didn't offer enough to cover MS's blushes. The club were holding out for a better deal and it never came, and MS is blaming JFC.4

He should be given a go, in my view . 433 with Dobbo and one other2

The only purpose that JFC will have to Charlton is the intention to move him on in the transfer window to reduce the wage bill, I can also see that happening to CBT, DJ and McGillvary. Shame cos I like Forster Caskey as a player.0

Agree. We’re desperately searching for some sort of hope. If it’s not him, it’s Aneke coming back. One or two players still won’t make a difference, and I agree with you re: JFC’s ability.SELR_addicks said:Don't see how anyone can claim JFC is our best midfielder after watching the cup games this season.

The club was right to offer him a contract last season and help him rehabilitate, however, he didn’t really play any part in the run-in last season, so I was baffled as to why he was offered another deal.It would be best for both parties if he left in Jan. He’s not going to add much to that team, he’d look equally as poor as the rest of them imo0 -

Not gonna say he's our bets midfielder or anything like that but even if he can regain half his form from before his last injury he deserves to be on the bench.
There is no world where with the amount of chopping and changing we've done of both personnel and formation that he doesn't qt least get a go unless something else is going on....11 -
yes ,was our best player for 70 mins,needs more minutesSELR_addicks said:

It’ll be interesting to see how low we’ll be allowed to go before whatever Sandgaard is making those decisions allows Garner (or the next guy) to give him a try…0

CBT is the only Charlton player that is a threat. Without JRS (obviously not our player) & him we are the most boring team on the planet.Bailey said:The only purpose that JFC will have to Charlton is the intention to move him on in the transfer window to reduce the wage bill, I can also see that happening to CBT, DJ and McGillvary.

Garner needs to find a way to get the best out of him rather than move him on.1 -
JFC's omission from the squad on Saturday when park clogger McGrandles is involved speaks volumes as to how Jake's treatment ain't to do with football or performance.cantersaddick said:Not gonna say he's our best midfielder or anything like that but even if he can regain half his form from before his last injury he deserves to be on the bench.

Add in our total lack of resource at left back and his continued banishment amounts to self harm. JFC at left back ain't something to aspire to but at least he has demonstrated basic ability there. After Sessegnon (out of position) we have no experience at all.

People are reinventing reality in relation to JFC. He is ok, not the world beater people are making him out to be.The assumption has to be that his contract includes payments for league appearances and that money is being used elsewhere in the playing budget.McGrandles came with a bit of fanfare and people on here bigged him up. Likewise Payne. Neither have had a run in the team and its unfair to judge them on cameo performances.The Lincoln fans reaction to McGrandles was interesting - roundly booed. That rarely happens if a fanbase weren't bothered about someone leaving. Hopefully he will come good.Our main issue is the fact we are so open at the back and have too few options upfront.4

Probably deserves another chance or two in a cup game1

Hardly surprising really is it.Swisdom said:

If he isn't playing for purely footballing reasons why isn't he getting at least some game time for the u21s to at least get match fit?
Listen to Danny Senda rave about him, and the benefit to the kids playing with him, on comms tonight.
McGrandles is only a year younger than him so that makes no difference and paying the wages of both is one of the reason we are a striker light.
I am passed being angry that he isn't playing, just angry that we renewed his contract and it fucked both parties over. Self inflicted because someone thought they were clever.13 -

Either way a major screw up to end up with both JFC and McGrandles in the squad.2

On tonight’s showing JFC is streets ahead of McGrandles.13

Not so sure.. JFC was our best player last night, not so sure he is miles ahead of McGrandles.. JFC has certainly lost a yard of pace. McGrandles I thought was equally as good last night, few sloppy passes as did JFC!, but also made some great pass, and should have had further assists.Weegie Addick said:On tonight’s showing JFC is streets ahead of McGrandles.
On a tight budget, it is strange to have both of them in the same squad..0 -
Based on last night he'd look like a good player if he was under 21 and still developing.
Doesn't get into our first eleven in League one.1 -
I thought the positions and pockets of space he took up, and particularly his choice and range of passing were as crisp and classy as ever.
However I also thought he looked a little slow and cumbersome and times, and that he lost out on some battles for the ball I wouldn’t have expected him to.
Really hard to tell where he is at from these games. I assume he will play against Stevenage which will be a sterner test.4 -
This is a crazy take. How is he better than Fraser and Dobson?bertpalmer said:ridiculous situation JFC is the best midfielder we have and should be one of the first names on the team sheet if theres a problem it should be sorted by the manager,is that not what his paid for ,to manage players and get the best out of them for the team ? very poor how this has been managed so far by Garner
Who would you drop from our regular XI to make way for JFC?19 -
Well quiet. Look at the physicality and running that are needed by Dobson and Fraser in that 2 in midfield currently - I am just not sure he can match that.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I struggle to see the point of the debate coming off the back of these games. He’s a 28 year old established player at league one level. Of course he should look good against an opposition of u21s
It’s all a bit immaterial now given the clause in his contract. He and the club should take the first reasonable offer in Jan. Both parties need out and the deal should never have been renewed8 -
We may be overreacting to the JFC situation. I have not watched the first team games he has been involved with, but I do recall people on here stating that in those games he was 'off the pace' and this is the first time that he has shown a level of fitness and displayed the undoubted talent that we all know he has. We have an abundance of midfield players all of whom are match fit with even McGrandles over his unlucky injuries. This was a game against an under 21 side and everyone on here is pleased to see a footballer like JFC regain fitness and appetite, but I don't think he has displayed those qualities up to this point.3

Is he a better left back option than Sean Clare when Sess is not fit?SELR_addicks said:Based on last night he'd look like a good player if he was under 21 and still developing.
