Vicente del Bosque was crying out for a fit Gary Gardener though, in fairness.

Signed a player who was playing down the road up till just over a year ago.
Doesn’t say much for Taylor Richards if we have already signed another player in his position. Nor the other three totally ineffective players we have contracts to in that area.
As for telling Glenn to earn his place days before signing another player in that area
On top of that, still no striker.

We look like we want to play 2 maybe 3 players in that position and it's a position we will always want to make substitutions in so no issues with more players in that area - especially as we brought Liam Bennett on there for god sake. If this allows McConnell to go on loan and prove he's League quality it's a double win.

Maybe one of local reporters will ask Monk about it at his press conference perhaps given loads of main stand fans saw it.

Regardless, I don't think him or Barton should count as options in that position. We should get Glenn out on loan as soon as he is fit and treat Barton as a bonus and not expect too much of him.

You know that feeling when you wake up in a basement with a massive gaping hole in your chest?

Barton shouldn't be an option? You mad? I've never understood this Bonner-esq logic of overprotecting the young'uns... if he's good enough, he's old enough. He was MOTM two games ago and one of our best players on Saturday... Why do you want to restrict young players game time if they're playing well? Plus this Stokes lad is only one year older than Barton. Not as if we've signed a really experienced player.

Christ, this is a weird start to a season; espeacially now I'm agreeing with Martin(Apart from the Bonner comments!) Dan Barton has been brilliant so far. He will need to be looked after but I get the impression he justs want to play. I'm not sure if it's a bonus in that we have a very good youth system which we put time and energy into. We have got to start hoping for the positive impact on the first team

I would rather send Kachunga out and keep them here!

Plus this Stokes lad is only one year older than Barton. Not as if we've signed a really experienced player. I mean in terms of squad building rather than on a game by game basis. If Monk wants X number of players who can play behind the forward(s) I wouldn't want Barton included in that just yet on the back of less than a handful of games. If he keeps playing well by all means keep him in the team or squad but think it would be poor planning to rely on that for a full season and miss out on other targets because of it.

I would rather send Kachunga out and keep them here! Maybe in January but would be ludicrous to sign a new deal with someone then ship them out so quickly. Surprised this is a seemingly controversial viewpoint that we needed depth in the attacking areas but Strang is irredeemable for many it seems!

Still not following you. He's playing very well and is one of our best players so far this season. He won't play well if he doesn't play. If he starts playing badly then he shouldn't play.. and that's true of any player. But as long as he's playing well then get him out on the pitch.
