Josh Murphy

[Rjk]

My laughing smile was giving him a break, so I wasn't directly having a go at Josh.
To be fair he did okay on Saturday against Boro but I don't think he shows enough to warrant a starting place.

His brother Jacob, to his credit, has apparently been working hard doing extra training trying to get back in favour in the Newcastle side.
He worked his socks off yesterday and grabbed the ball to score a terrific equalising goal late on.

Josh obviously has talent but we only get glimpses. He is good when we are on top but when we are up against it unfortunately does not put the graft in and you have to earn your place in Harris's side.

I hope Josh watched Jacob and takes a leaf out of his book.

Hoilet wasn't any better when he came on to be fair.
Worth persisting with Murphy and seeing if he can play himself into some form, like Ojo has done.
As he's an asset if playng well.

Hoilett is off at the end of the season anyway
