Unless I'm wrong about his age, Grant will have to be one of the 25 named squad if he stays at the club as he's too old to be counted as an U21. Aarons is probably going to miss out because of injury and Jones can still be used as an U21. But Grant would probably have to be included instead of an experienced player. Personally I'd have him instead of Koroma, but I'm not sure DS will make that sort of decision. Nicholls Bilokapic* Chapman* Turton Spencer* Boyle Pearson Lees Nakayama REG Ruffels Kasumu Hogg Camara* Rudoni Russell Anjorin Holmes Koroma Thomas Rowe Jones* Grant Mahoney Ward Rhodes Phillips That’s only 23 - * is under 21 players Don’t think I’m missing anyone bar Aarons and he could even still make it in to 24 |

Maybe costelloe is ten times better ? Maybe grant is rightly towards the back of a queue? How many times have you seen him live , ? Where he is from is totaly immaterial . And what's this wumming bollocks you speak of? You replied to someone I replied to you .. thats what a forum is yes ? Maybe grow some balls and stop crying like a nine year old Maybe your just an absolute melt? 1. Costelloe is not 10x better. Grant has better stats in the Irish league. 2. I have seen him a few times, either going to watch or on the live streams. Majority of the time is the stand out player. 3. Yes, that is what a forum is about, but it is obvious you didnt see what I replied to as I forgot to quote, so tried being sarcastic. I am not crying. I just feel sorry for you and that you feel the need to wind people up to give your life some satisfaction. Sad sad man. How often are B Team fixtures live streamed? Where? |

Most of posts on here are spot on right re why don’t we blood sine obviously bloody good youngsters -Koroma and Holmes are just out of their depth right now so give him Rowe Mahoney a bloody go Amazing to think Rowe has been in our first team so long now he played in the premier league for us! Our longest serving player barring Hoggy.... he'll be half way to a testimonial by the end of this season!! Yet he's only made 23 appearances! I really think theres a player there too which makes it even more frustrating. If he's fit I can't believe he wouldn't be a big improvement on Koroma down that left hand side. |

Must admit I expected last season to be his breakout season. Koroma and Rowe on the wings was how I saw it going prior to Rowe's injury and Sorba's emergence. We have a lot of wingers/wide attackers at the club, so whether it's Rowe, Grant, Mahoney or anyone else we have options. I find it baffling though that after such consistently poor form that Koroma is still picked ahead of so many other options. |

Presume theyre just remembering that spell he had up to xmas a couple of seasons ago, when he was outstanding. And he was genuinely outstanding.
If he could get back to being that, we'd have a £10m player in the side.
Sad whats happened since. Injuries and just a complete loss of all form and confidence.
I think he needs loaning out and hopefully a change of scenery will get his game back on track.

I think he needs loaning out and hopefully a change of scenery will get his game back on track. I agree, but the problem there is that he'd be able to leave on a free at the end of that loan. Get him up to speed elsewhere then he tears it up for one of our rivals. I think we're better keeping him here & either working on trying to get his form back or at least keeping him as an option in case of an injury crisis. Even in the poor form he's in now, he's our 3rd best striker. |

Time to accept that the hamstring injury Koroma suffered has cost him some pace and he's no longer the same player.

TBH I think there are a few players in the squad I'd pick ahead of him in every position at the moment. |

I might have agreed if he hadn't come back strongly at the end of that season & picked up where he left off. You could see it then though that he didn't have the acceleration he did before the injury. I think he was still getting by with the confidence from his pre injury form. Once that went he was goosed and I cant remember the last good performance from him |

Time to accept that the hamstring injury Koroma suffered has cost him some pace and he's no longer the same player. It's not pace that's the problem, it's decision making. That first season he played instinctively and scored more often as a result. Even if he wasn't making the perfect decision every time the quick thinking was the equivalent of half a yard of pace, and often caught defenders off guard. Last season, and particularly last Friday, he's not been doing that at all. He dithers so much and waits for the red sea to part for him, because he either doesn't trust his first instinct anymore, or it's been coached out of him. And he's under the microscope now. Was probably quite a lot for him mentally to have a breakout season with nobody in the stadium. To go from the last game he played in the stadium as a young prospect with no expectations, to being our number 10 at the next one, with much higher expectations of him, it's not that surprising that he wasn't as good or as confident last season. I think there's potential in him still and with the right coaching he can rediscover that form of 2 years ago. If it's not in the next few months I doubt that'll be with us though. |

Agree about Josh Koroma, made the very same points to my son last week, his decision making is dreadful, just not the same player, he's lost it - UTT. |

How many times does he have the chance to shoot and takes an extra touch which then goes out of play for a goal kick? Genuinely believe it is confidence. But only he can sort that, we cant waste time waiting for it. Let him try play some B team games, find the net a few times. |

Lots of Koroma chat on the Danny Grant thread.
Koroma's performance last week should see him out of the side for a couple of months as far as I'm concerned. Give Grant or Mahoney a go, can't be any worse.

It’s not like he’s played and put in bad performances, he’s just been left out. |
