How do you know he's even good enough to be breaking in at all. Yes it was a great finish, but come on, no ones barely seen him play. I'd be surprised if he's in the starting line up anytime soon.

Everyone at the club have seen him play for the past 18 months and stuck by him throughout that whole time (3 managers?) we obviously have been paying for him to stay here etc for the past 18 months. Someone I know who worked with him closely within the youth team has said he's raw talent and could become a quality player and he is a genuinely decent lad aswell which is always pleasing to hear.

The fact that we've stuck by him through his visa problems and what he's showing in reserves/training matches is what the management are going on. So we don't know how good he is just yet, but I'd hope he's judged, patiently, on his all round and still developing play rather than just one example of his finishing.

Surely not.

Thomas, Cardwell, Cook, Vernam, Hooper and Rose plus a new striker?

Hooper appears to have been frozen out but it would take a hard sell to get anyone to take the final 6 months of his contract off our hands in January.  I would imagine Cook came here in the summer expecting to play more than he has, now reduced to warming the bench with a 19-year-old rookie getting the nod before him.  Wonder if his name will be touted about.    I definitely think we could do with a refresh in the striking options.  Rose gives the pace and Cardwell adds a bit more physicality but I think we would definitely benefit from an absolute battering ram or (ideally and) a fox-in-the-box poacher type.
