He is sadly just nowhere near good enough, next season ..perhaps.

He's like a more sophisticated / injury free version of Johnny Williams IMO!

In the right team he'd thrive ... but his confidence is getting battered being left out all the time. As it would any player ...

I don’t think you’v been watching him. He is a fantastic kicker of the ball, with accuracy, using either foot. It is one reason I would pick him over Guaita. It makes most sense when we have a big target man.

Exactly. Until such a time we can give him more freedom, he'll just be a bench warmer. Doesn't suit our system at all .. but tbh, I'm stumped as to what our system is these days.

I think Roy's lost it a bit since he had to deploy Wilf & Andros as direct attacking options. The minute he gets a 'striker' back / available now he doesn't seem to know what he's doing ... especially when we're at home.

I hope you are right.
No one outside of roys favourites is a roy player.
I was hoping he may try some youth strikers when he had none in his top squad.
AWB was never getting a game if ward wasnt injured.
To me that would be a lightbulb moment about the youth players.
But sadly roys light doesnt shine down only up.

I suspect it is more to do with his lack of physicality, his lack of pace, his ability to play a pass no further than a 3 yeear old can kick it.
