djc 0 Posted February 2, 2016 Jot even on the bench tonight. Brought here for a reason, yet not selected. Surely a better option than having 2 defenders on the bench? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 605 Posted February 2, 2016 I know they''re all top football professionals, but like the others, needs two weeks before he can play cuz he''s probably off the pace!Perhaps thats why AN wanted things done early, cuz he knew theyd all get a two week holiday first!

AJ 1,358 Posted February 2, 2016 Stupid really, as. Striker his only job is to score goals. Throw him in and give him a go. What possible harm would it cause? Nobody was expecting him to start but I''d have at least had him on the bench! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,145 Posted February 2, 2016 I don''t think he was about - nor has he really been involved for a couple of weeks so not sure if I''d have used him today, anyway.The offy site said this before today''s game "It really depends on him. He will come in and compete with Dieumerci Mbokani and Cameron Jerome, and it will be up to him to show his qualities and stake his claim. We''ll see him on Friday and see where he is. We can then make a decision." That suggests he wasn''t up for today''s game but might be for the weekend - I certainly hope so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djc 0 Posted February 2, 2016 Branston. Mark Robins joined us on a friday, and banged a couple past Arsenal 24hrs later.... So time at a club is not relevant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,145 Posted February 2, 2016 Did I say otherwise? I was quoting AN. I don''t disagree but there is a difference, Robins had had a full preseason, Bamford has played a handful of sub appearances this season and nothing since before Christmas; he should be fresh at least, but Chelsea couldn''t pick him or he''d have not been able to transfer.
