I have nothing to say in terms of Aarons.
Not see him play enough to know if he is any good or not!!??.

If the lad can stay injury free, then he could be a key player next term - especially if Koroma goes as I’d expect him to. He did nothing in the games that he played to suggest he should be anywhere near the first team. 70 league games at the age of 26 for seven different clubs tells its own tale. 5 of those clubs were on loan. Newcastle kept him until he was 25, presumably because they felt there was a player in there worth persevering with despite his injury problems.

Possibly Frankie, but a fair few on here wrote off Ward, Turton, Rhodes etc before they had a fair chance to perform. So yes currently he looks a lame duck but with a solid pre-season who knows?

Our recruitment department are beyond reproach this season but I still cannot fathom any logic for signing Aaron’s with that injury record or Tino when they knew he was injured.

We've not seen Aaron's for any prolonged period nor Grant for that matter. If we don't win promotion this season we might need some squad and first 11 re-shaping. I feel a bit for them both, they must have run over 25 black cats on the way to signing.

Younger, has worked hard with the B team, young lad coming over on his own from across the water, would be a debut and probs get a good reception.

Im sure he's a decent enough guy. But as it stands he's probably 11th or 12th choice for a winger.

I tend to view end of season dead rubber matches as the first preseason games of the following season. Maybe blood a youngster or two under normal circumstances.
But this time we have a 2 or 3 game mini season and I'd be viewing the games v Cov and Brizzle as preparation for that mini season.
For me, that means fringe players to get the nod to shake off rust should they be required in the playoffs. Players like Josh Ruffels and Carel Eiting to be the first names on the team sheet.
If Aarons can do enough in training to put himself in contention for the bench in the playoffs then great. Given the injuries to Sinani, Koroma and particularly Sorba, there are a few wingers who have scarcely been involved this season who might well find themselves being picked for the playoffs. Whether Aarons, Grant, Anjorin or anyone else is involved depends largely on what they can do in training. TBH I don't have a firm stance on who should get the nod.
If it's Rolando, that's because he's shown more in training than the others. It'll be interesting to see who gets the nod.

Just a guess on my part but I suspect we took Tino to keep our hand in with Chelsea, while probably hoping we'd get him up to speed for the play offs at best.

TBH I saw the Barnsley game as a virtual dead rubber simply because of the number of results that would have had to go against us in order for a top 6 space to be missed out on, and I see the likelihood of both Bournemouth & Forest both bombing out as being similarly unlikely - but I agree it could happen and I think the club are viewing the next 2 games as "not dead rubber".

Realistically I think it's already gone even if they lose but mathematically, no.

Look what happened to Ivan Toney. At Newcastle for years. Loaned out everywhere. Finally he went to Peterboro & it clicked for him. So I don’t think we should give up on him just yet.

They are both 26. Toney has been strong for 4 seasons. Or.... They gave up on Toney at 21/22, but kept faith with Aarons until he was 25. Ftr I don't expect Aaron's career to reach the heights of Toneys but I'm still not about to write him off.

Our recruitment department are beyond reproach this season but I still cannot fathom any logic for signing Aaron’s with that injury record or Tino when they knew he was injured. Even before yesterday's game, Tino was a bit of a free hit. A player, who if fully fit, we had no chance of getting. He will have possibly cost us next to nothing so even if he makes a difference in just one or two matches it will have been worth it. Massive difference to the Aarons signing which was a farce from start to finish.

Not seen it mentioned anywhere but Rolando has received his first call up for Jamaica and is in their squad for a friendly on Wednesday.
If he's been allowed to travel to that in the week of a play off final then he must be well down the pecking order at Town, seems like we've probably seen the last of him.

Possibly, although it was always unlikely that he would feature in the biggest game we've had for 5 years after featuring so little in the last 18 months.
He'll probably gain more from his time on the international stage than he would from being in the crowd at Wembley.
My gut feeling is that after being our number 1 target 18 months ago he probably won't make it here, but I'm expecting him to be given a fair crack of the whip next season if we lose next week (if we're in the PL I think we'll cut our losses).
