Shocking for koroma to do that Get the spineless card out of the club. I’ll forgive anyone poor performances if they try but this lad doesn’t look to give two shiny shites about the club Agreed - blatant disrespect to the fans, if he'd been pulling up trees and fans isolated him you'd understand his frustrations but he's been absolutely woeful and doesn't look anywhere near up to it. |

I don't wish abuse on players on performance as itll make them even more shot but I hope Koroma gets dogs abuse Saturday and fucks off out the club before deadline. Horrible little shit

Old fashioned viewpoint alert! Koroma is a winger. Forget this front three nonsense, this made up wide midfielder stuff. He’s a winger. He can’t beat a man on the outside. When he cuts in, it’s always into traffic. He cannot chose when to run directly or hold it up. His crosses rarely beat the first man. His shooting is invariably closed down. When he has the ball at his feet, he can’t decide whether to stick or twist. When he does decide, it is either too late or the wrong choice. He then gives it large to the fans. At the moment, he should be nowhere near the Matchday squad nevermind the starting 11. Wingers blow hot and cold but there is no way on this earth that he can demonstrate the level needed at training to command a starting place. He is failing us and his coaches are failing him. |

Has anyone ever stopped to think that the reason Grant hasn't featured is simply because he isn't very good and is way off it? Quite possibly but then why did Spencer, Boyle, Russell, Koroma, Mahoney and Holmes play last night? Because if Grant is currently behind all of those in terms of ability/current form then someone needs to tell us so we can stop getting excited about him. Unless there is other issues we aren't privy to i.e attitude then it can only be down to ability as to why he isn't playing. Tough for the club because they can't exactly come out and say he's shite. |

He never played under Carlos despite being fit towards the end of last season. I remember Carlos saying at the time Grant signed that he'd played no part in the signing. Maybe he isn't as good as some think he is. |

If that was the case, the club would have bombed him out on loan. There was interest in him.
He cannot be worse than the jokers that are stealing wages, i.e Koroma & Holmes. Why did we not even give Pat Jones a bench slot last night?
If we stick with playing these lads who have started the season, who are seemingly so fickle in form from one game to the next, we are in trouble.
Pea sized hearts some of them. Says a lot when a lad on loan shows them all up.

It becomes all the more bizarre when you read back on DS’s quotes in the recent press conference Pre Preston. Saying he was doing very well and could potentially play against them.

It seamed a case of Schofield trying to save his bacon to me - bring on 3 who are tried and tested in the hopes it stems the bleeding and doesn't end 6/7-0 instead of giving a young lad a go. Signs of someone under pressure. |

Signs of someone under pressure. Hopefully it was just that. Don't forget Schofield had a similiar path into professional football and seem to remember him being here a long time before he was given a game. If memory serves we were at home and he came off the bench, we were getting beaten in that match but it wasn't 3 nil inside 30 minutes. |

I'd understand that for the first 4 substitutions, but the game was completely gone and bringing him on as the 5th one would have made no difference at all - except to the confidence of Danny Grant |

Apologies if I’m completely misunderstanding your post, ldr, but Koroma is a winger? Not in my eyes he isn’t, he just happens to be invariably out wide when he receives the ball, then predictably cuts in. That’s doesn’t make him a winger. Maybe I’m being old fashioned here but I’m speaking as a former left winger myself. Admittedly I never played at any decent level above playing for my Uni and being told by my gym teacher at Batley GS that a Burnley scout twice came to watch me (I never heard owt from them). I was/am left footed, so I almost exclusively played wide on the left. I had the attributes considered to be the basic requirements for a winger - I had speed, could dribble and could deliver a good cross, usually from the outside, and scored my fair share of goals. None of this cutting inside all the time nonsense….maybe just occasionally, my right foot wasn’t good enough! I know, football has changed, not for the better, in my opinion. I lament the loss of the traditional winger. |

Koroma cupping his ears to the fans at half time. This lad on bench ready to give his all after being through the ringer. He needs to be knocking on the door tomorrow and getting out. Spends all his time learning stupid fucking dances for when sorba scores. Useless waste of space. |

VLP best ball carrier and one of the most skilful players I’ve seen at Town. Worked really hard off the ball too. Sadly he couldn’t cross for shit and his decision making was atrocious 😄 Ticks in those boxes and he’s have been playing for Liverpool with his half bro. |

I’ll never forget his debut coming in as a sub. First touch he skinned his marker and I felt myself get off my seat . And who can ever forget Rajiv v Bruno. |

The only real attribute I had was pace but my touch was sometimes unreliable; that’s why I liked Iffy and Diakhaby! I was swift and could deliver a decent ball every now and then. Corner taker too, used to be able to stick them right in behind the keeper in the six yard box. I still had a decent turn of pace until about three years ago, I was well trained with my running. In previous dads v lads matches, I could still run under 15 year old lads and they soon stepped off me. However, I tried it in their under 16 year match and nothing happened. I plodded. That zip had gone and it felt like a bereavement. Long live wingers! |

I’ve been thinking about this : Right Winger - Dave Thomas at QPR and then Everton. Left Winger - Peter Barnes, at his peak with Man City. |

If I was playing nowadays I’d demand the no. 11 shirt. I always had decent pace too, school x-country and athletics teams as well. I once had to step in and run the 2000m steeplechase in an inter-schools event at Spen Valley for Batley GS and broke the area record. Never ran the steeplechase again as far as I can remember. I can still sprint well enough if I have to. |

Good selections. I’d go for Krzywicki, Bobby Hoy and Rajiv - I know lots disagree but apart from Mooy, he’s the player I’ve enjoyed watching the most in the last 10 years. What about non Town wingers? I never particularly rated Bobby Hoy. He disappointed far too often. Non-Town? Too big a question! Off the top of my head I liked Alan Suddick (Blackpool), Dave Thomas (Burnley & QPR), Wagstaff (Wolves), Heighway (Liverpool), Eddie Gray and Albert Johanneson (Leeds), Morgan (QPR), Galvin (Spurs), Woodward (Sheff U) Noel Brotherston, Blackburn Rovers - constant scourge of Town teams in the past. And... I just knew that you'd mention Dobson! 😉 |

really hope he gets his chance with town. If he can't get minutes when we're 3 nil down in the cup when we can make 5 substitutions then I don't know how he'll get a game? |
