nutty nigel 7,630 Posted December 11, 2021 Can Josh really be as bad as those misses suggest? If so it's amazing that he's an international footballer whose played at the level he has. Could he still come good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenfoggo 247 Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Yes, I think that Josh really is that bad. He has had enough minutes and enough chances to prove that he can step up to this level. He has failed. We have been sold another pup.Webber! Edited December 11, 2021 by kenfoggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just checking his stats and he was prolific as a youngster playing for the USA and 5 goals in 19 caps for the senior team isn't too bad. Klinsmann apparently rated him as well so as you say there is surely more to come from him (please God). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,136 Posted December 11, 2021 Hopefully it's related to confidence, and when that first goal comes we will see an absolute goal machine. 😜 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,545 Posted December 11, 2021 Looking at it without prejudice, he has actually done ok with his hustling and tracking and is getting in good positions to score. Like @Ian suggests, confidence could be the thing and if he does get that first goal, expect others to follow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,006 Posted December 11, 2021 Said before, I think he's trying too hard. His work rate is superb and a reason why I'd always find a space for him on the team sheet simply as he makes it hard work for defenders to play simple balls and slows down their build-up, not to mention gives us an ever-willing out ball when we're under the cosh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoolahoop14 124 Posted December 11, 2021 He'll be gone by the end of next season having scored 2 goals in the Championship. I predict a loan spell to a Bundesliga 2 club January 2023, and then a cut price move to whoever fancies taking him. Simply not good enough and won't make it in England, no question about it.

OTBC I still don't think he's a bad player, I think he's a player with the lowest confidence I've seen in professional football, especially in front of goal. It's going to take some serious man management to get him out of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted December 11, 2021 The word "winner" in the thread title makes this extremely long odds. Add "Josh Sargent to score" and you may as well give your money to charity. Setting myself up for a fall here, which would be fantastic were it to happen! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can only hope that Smith can polish a t*rd because Josh looks like a solid ginger one at the mo. Hope the lad comes good (both for him and us) but fear he's going to end up in the NCFC Donkey's Hall Of Fame. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,360 Posted December 12, 2021 Was watching bits of the match but still managed to catch him stand on the ball in the box at the end of a promising attack. Just not seeing how this guy makes a living as a professional footballer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
