I quite like Cardwell and agree there is sone potential within him, but i think i would've kept Jamille Matt instead, bit confused as why we never offered him a contract.

For how much longer are we not going to address the problem of not bringing a decent striker?,same issue season after season.
I'd hardly say its season after season in the last decade we've had Boggle, Amond, Connel, Hearn and Elding who have all been quality, and Hannah and LJL weren't too shabby either, (going back a bit further Ready and Jones). I'd be more inclined to say our problems over the last couple of decades have stemmed more from the middle of the park than up top. After Disley you are really scratching around for any extended quality in the centre of the park. Nolan (briefly) and going back a bit Bolland but we've been a much of a muchness there for a long time. |

Prior to Mansfield on New Years Day we scored 11 goals in 3 home games with a relatively settled side since then with injuries and suspensions etc.. we've had real disruption and this has been at a time when we've played 3 decent teams and a team fighting for their lives.
Though we need a better partner for Thomas I feel the issues come from mid field as the service the strikers have been getting has been pretty poor so I get why we went 3-5-2 yesterday if it allowed the FB's to press on and the midfield to get further up the pitch.
Personally I think our season turned a corner away at Carlisle when we went 4-3-3 in the first half maybe that's the answer who knows but a front 3 of Thomas Verman and Embelton would in my mind be more dangerous.
Of the players available wouldn't A. Rose figure in your thinking? He has pace and looks a more likely finisher than any of these three. |

Yes but other than scoring that late winner the other week there’s nothing to suggest he’d start ahead of Thomas, Verman and Embleton in a 3. |

Well he hasn't had many opportunities has he? He won a penalty the other week as well the goal you mention and he has that great gift of pace. I agree he is green and needs time but if we are to play a 2 or a 3 at the front surely he is worth a pop for more minutes then he's getting just now. TBH I don't know if he would be the answer but the others have all had a fair go and here we are with our 360 goal less minutes.  |

Don’t disagree I’d like to see him start soon. |

For those calling for A.Rose, he had an absolute stinker for the reserves last week. Couldn't control it, couldn't pass it, couldn't do anything right. The lad Burrell absolutely showed him up in terms of desire and work-rate.
Cardwell and Thomas just had bad games on Saturday. We need alternative options and I'd be amazed if another striker isn't on Jolley's January shopping list, but to single the lad out is a bit needless in my opinion.

I don't believe that saying he's not good enough is 'hammering' him. The fact that he gets picked says more about our budget & recruitment to me. I don't see him as any better than JJ who, at least, has a shot on him ( and I don't rate JJ either).
The fact that he gets picked says more about how MJ rates him than anything else to me. Didn't MJ extend his contract in the summer? |
