Would this be a sensible squad option upfront for the rest of the season? It appears that Madine is never going to actually get on the pitch and I'm not sure when Ward is due back - so it might be worth giving Rhys a squad place to at least provide a nippy option up front.
I'd like to see him given a game for us v Gillingham if this is possible, as I thought he was looking really sharp before his injury.
I agree with you but he's on loan to MK Dons where he has 9 goals and 3 assists in 20 appearances.
I think he's also cup tied.
His loan spell is until January, but I'm not sure what date in January. He is Cup Tied though. I expect Madine to start up front, unless he too goes out on loan. The under 21s played the other week and won 7-0, Madine played and failed to score.
Played for MK Dons vs Grimsby in the First Round so unavailable for us.Quote:

same could be said of Ken, but at the moment he`s about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.
I agree, but he has seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time injured during his employment with us. I'd be happy to keep him if he was going to be available but it seems he never is.Quote:

There is such a difference in quality between league it's not like he is setting it on fire. For me Reid looked lost up top v Spurs and would have been better having a battering ram like Madine playing.Quote:

Bit harsh that? He's not good enough for the premier League but I thought he was doing alright until that bad knock he hadQuote:

Some times the eye test is all that is needed, and it clearly tells that he is in no way good enough to be in our 25, this season, or next should we go stay up or down. Oh, and he's 24.Quote:

You can't have players in their early twenties/late teens with no real competitive experience and be surprised when they're shite. Warnock got rid of a load but has seemingly done nothing with the new lads. This has gone very off topic, but oh well.
He had a really bad knee injury, but up until that point he had been playing wellQuote:
