Why won't Powell give him a chance ?
Majewski deserves a chance to prove himself Town fans are beginning to feel accustomed to Powell's steadfast faith in what he has on the field from the outset, but their frustrations over irregular substitutions still remains.
Joe Lolley is the primary case in point but the lack of faith shown in Radoslaw Majewski is just as striking and his presence in a matchday squad has become nothing more than an exercise in futility, as seven consecutive failures to step off the bench will attest.
The Pole will feel rightly aggrieved at the fact he simply hasn't been afforded an opportunity to prove that he does have something to contribute to this side before the expiry of his loan spell from Nottingham Forest - and seemingly inevitable exit.
His situation is dissimilar to Lolley's in that Powell retains faith in the youngster plucked from Kidderminster Harriers and his current hesitancy in offering him more playing time is as much born out of his regrets over his rapid rise to prominence as it is his trust of the starting XI.
But with Town toiling through large periods of this game, a largely unknown quantity to everyone at the John Smith's - albeit through no fault of his own - may have offered the answers Town searched for but struggled to find here.

I'm a bit puzzled by the manager right now. He says he's happy with the squad he has but if so I am a little worried - we don't have a natural right back, our left back is a loanee, we have bucket loads of similar midfielders and we only have 2 strikers as permanent employees. Whilst I fully acknowledge he needs the time to build and reshape a squad and the summer is going to be important, I worry that the squad is lopsided, and every time he brings in a new player they are consigned to the bench within a couple of weeks (miller, Edgar, poyet). There may be a justifiable reason for all of this, but I am struggling to understand what Edgar and poyet in particular have brought that the likes of billing, goburn and Holmes couldn't provide............particularly from the bench! Maybe the financial constraints are too tough to get what he really wants.......but if so, surely we should blood the young lads to prove if they can cut it, rather than spend money on players who come in but are quickly consigned to the subs bench? The final puzzle for me is how we go hell for leather against the boltons, watfords and brentfords......but are so defensive minded against reading, brum and again yesterday against a very average Cardiff. I don't think anybody has a right to expect us to beat everyone at this level, but IMHO the easiest way to banish once and for all the relegation fears is to beat those sides around us and build a gap. Maybe I am missing something, but it baffles me and reading other posts this morning, it appears I am not alone.

If I were Majewski I would be asking to go back to Forest as he seems to be on the bench clearly just to make the required number of subs. The thing is when we first signed him i thought he would be a good signing but we just seem to have wasted him, not saying he is any better than we have, but to be fair no one knows as he's only played once or twice. He is obviously not going to get on the pitch, even if he does, he'll be rusty, thing us yesterdays game was crying out for an attacking midfielder to drive us forward.

I agree it's odd he doesn't get any minutes because yesterday there were numerous times Butterfield was on the ball looking for a positive forward pass and both Coady and Hogg sat behind him - niether pushed forward and the play broke down, we were crying out for a attack minded midfielder
I think CP doesn't fancy Majewski because he's not the hardest working and a bit of a maverick and CP prefers players who have more tactical awareness and discipline (eg Scannell tracks back a lot these days)
As for appearances on the bench this may be to do with the terms of his loan (ie guaranteed involvement in the matchday squad if fit). By all accounts Robinson has a similar clause about guaranteed involvement if fit
Finally Forest won't want him back. They broke FFP so won't want the extra wage on their books
Shame though as it seems a waste of a year for the lad

Genius Nick
Fact of the matter is Powell is too worried to change a team for defensive reasons than to gamble on unsettling the formation with a change

I think the answer to Powell being happy with the squad boils down to one question. What are we trying to achieve this season? and the answer has to be to stay in the Championship. With the current squad, I think that is comfortably achievable.

I don't know whether Forest will be laughing or crying.
Waste of everyone's time him being here.
Our only hope of seeing him is probably at the expense of a young'un when we are safe & coasting the final few games.

I don't think we're allowed to send him back to Forest. Another club would have been able to take over the loan.
I certainly can't see the point in having on the bench ahead of Billing. There's no chance Majewski is going to be here next season, so lets see what Billing can do/give him some experience.

He was initially out of the team because of off the field problems, which were kept quiet at the time. A very close family member of his died, therefore he was not in a mentally good place.

A very close family member of his died, therefore he was not in a mentally good place. was talking to a forrest fan who reckons he was back on the sniff? but understandable if he suffered a loss I wouldn't read too much into the sniff rumours. I came across this few months back. I've attached the link: Both the original and also the one where you can see it with google translate. Doesn't translate that well though, but you can get a fair decent idea. Majewski Polish articleEnglish translated versionSeemingly, seems extremely unhappy with how it's turned out at town, (who can blame him? we all would have expected him to play at some point) and could be going back to NFFC and moving elsewhere. The article is very negative towards town and Powell too. Not sure, what i make of it all really. Think he has a lot of ability, and has proven before in the past he can change a game in an instance. But with death of his father, and knowing how family orientated Poles are, now living here I can see why mentally he's not been at the races too, which would have been the reason he went off the radar for a bit. It is a shame, he never had a good run in the side, and obviously management team now don't see a lot in him..

I thought he'd be given more of a chance but I wasn't massively excited when we got him. He's one of those that looks better in a good team and will shine when the team are playing well but be anonymous when the team isn't really performing. He's obviously not doing it in training and while it's a shame he's had a wasted year I can't help thinking the fact he and Lolley haven't been given the opportunities means they get built up to be far better than they actually are.

It was also mentioned a while ago publicly, I think by Chris Powell, that the upcoming birth of his baby was very much on his mind. I have no inside knowledge whatsoever but one does get the impression that for whatever reason football wasn't his number one priority.
