His exclusion is a little suspicious. We paid money for him, so you would think there is some belief in his ability. But it's a long old season, anything can happen.killerandflash said:
JRC has played SEVEN minutes in 12 league games, despite us being able to bring 5 subs from the bench, and him being able to play both in midfield or at right wingback. That doesn't look like someone NJ rates.Scoham said:I get the suggestion of a first choice CM, but I don’t expect a back up to come in - still feels too early to write off JRC or Anderson doing that job to me.
NJ had the difficult choice of who to play when he gave Coventry a rest. I wouldn’t read too much into it, I don’t see it as proof he doesn’t rate JRC or Anderson. It was only recently Apter didn’t even get off the bench.
We’ve got some really strong competition which has meant some players have barely played. For the same reason it’s also too early to say Knibbs won’t do well for us.

In pre-season he played the Coventry role, I thought it would be a given that he would step in if Coventry ever missed a gameChunes said:

Maybe there’s an injury he’s carrying we don’t know about, but it was odd that he didn’t start Saturday if he’s fine0 -
Maybe, but we’ll have a better idea after seeing how things play out over a full season as at some point he may get his chance over a few games, and he might even do so well he keeps his place. Same for Knibbs, Apter, Tanto etc.killerandflash said:

I think it’s become clearer he’s seen as an alternative to Coventry and Docherty, neither who deserve to be dropped. Agree it’s strange he’s not had more time off the bench though. For now he’s still making the squad ahead of Anderson.
Of course it could go the other way with him being sold or loaned out in January!

JRC was poor in the cup games, don't know if that has swayed Jones at all, because he has hardly had a minute since.0
