A Bad Rap for JCR?

Just realised that our Jamal will have a bit of a problem with voting today - there's no way he'll get the cross in the box.

you hit on the answer actually. he's called Jamal.. sounds a bit foreign if you ask me

My first thought too.
Probably not something we should be prying in to or slagging Clough off for.

Of course it is. We should take every chance, believe every unsubstantiated rumour, sympathise with every discontented player, leave no stone unturned, turn every page, follow every misleading comment. In short we should be absolutely ruthless in slagging our manager for anything and everything, however ludicrous. Wonder if Clough will instruct Calvert-Lewin to perform poorly again, if he's brought on. Perhaps he'll make poor little Louis Reed cry? He will, you know....he will...

No, not a thread about a poorly conceived terrace chant for Jamal but I was talking with Ken Junior earlier and it still perplexes us why JCR got shipped out to Notts County and hasn't had a look in the first team squad when we desperately needed some pace and width - especially when you consider;

1. Murphy has looked jaded and low on energy during the last third of the season
2. Flynn has been injured for much of the time - effective when fit but not available anywhere near enough
3. Coutts has been stuck out there to offer some service (but offered nothing when played wide)
4. At West Ham he was terrific and always posed a threat
5. At QPR he was one of the key reasons for the 3-0 win
6. For the home league game vs Preston he was equally impressive and influential

Now I know his crossing isn't the best - he wouldn't be in our division if it was - but he makes stuff happen, he's an outlet and he can relieve any pressure with a pacey run down the flank. He makes us a better counter attacking unit when he plays and offers something different that the opposition has to counter, so when both he and Murphy play they cannot double up on both of them.

He can also chip in with a few crucial goals, as well - he is a genuine threat, of which we have little in this squad.

Just a thought to throw into the mix and a reason why we have been so stale and predictable of late.

I believe that we would have a far greater chance of getting through the Play-Offs with JCR either starting or coming on to alter the game than without him.

Because he's shit an always has been!! IMHO of course
