Is he injured?
Is he the most pointless signing since Andy Davies?

I would rather have Diouf as a right back than Smith which suggests Smith was a squandered £4m(?)

I don't see how it was pointless, we needed a right back.

I don't see how it was pointless, we needed a right back. We didn’t. We had two when he signed. We didn’t need to spend 4m on a right back. Especially when we spent fuck all on a left back. Absolutely pointless wank signing.

Absolutely pointless wank signing. I thought to be fair he might play him or Edwards on the left as an inverted full back like he did at Luton but what do I know?

Absolutely pointless wank signing. All that aside he should be having more of an impact than he is shouldn't he? I know barely anything about him as a player but he's played a lot of games at this level and above. Was he just incredibly lucky to be dragged along for a ride with Huddersfield or has he not turned up for us yet?

He has looked really wank though which is surprising. But they must have had good reason to sell him?

Absolutely pointless wank signing. We didn't we had one, Bauer was never going to play he can't go anything particularly well. It was a far from pointless signing. now whether he was the right right back to go for is a different argument.

Stephen Ward, Ryan Woods & Adam Davies are all pretty much missing in 'inaction' along with Tommy Smith! Add to that Diouf who no-one knows if he's still frequenting Clayton Wood for training or just getting paid to do absolutely nothing these days.. Mark Duffy and Liam Lindsay appear to be confined to regular bench appearances these days. All very strange goings on. Woods had a few good games early on in the season, looking like his outspoken radio interview hasnt helped his cause for a return!

People expect new signings to come in and have an instant impact and enhance the team considerably.
While that can happen sometimes, oftimes it doesnt. Some players just need time to settle, and furthermore ours hasnt been a good team to settle into, especially with a manager who hasnt exactly been sure what he wants to do.
That said, I dont think he,s a good signing tobegin with.

I would be hesitant in writing him off just yet. Had a pretty shocking start, but that can be said about virtually everyone in the squad. Things seem to be moving in the right direction and we’re now seeing some confidence creep back into the squad, which should benefit everyone. It’s a long season, and I’m sure we’ll see him again at some point.

It’s a long season, and I’m sure we’ll see him again at some point. Spot on. It’s way too early to write him off, and with Bauer going we needed a RB. Edwards shows promise but has a lot to learn, he should keep his place for now but I expect Smith to force his way into the team before the season is out.

It was Jones' "two players for every position" and the general "I don't like loans" stances .... We did need cover. We probably didn't need to spend 4m. We might have been more efficient by getting a player for multiple positions. e.g. loan Amartey from Leicester, you've covered RB and CDM and not paid 4m. Then again we didn't need Cousins, Lindsay, Ward, Powell, Duffy or Davies either, it seems. Am not sure we need a Director of Recruitment, more a Director of Disposal.

It's as if you can only pick 18 players and the manager is picking a settled 18.
Weird

Weird indeed.

Davies, Smith, Lindsey, ward, cousins, Woods, Powell, McClean, Ince, Vokes wouldn’t be missed if they found other clubs to take them.

Nathan said after Crawley a few would be out for a while His time will come expect him , Ryan and Powell to place a part as the season unfolds and lowly Duffy too Collins a loan in the window if Ryan is fit The ones that are out out for me Woods cousins and ward woods may get another chance because at some point etebo or badou or evening will be missing

Trouble is spending someone else's money on new players is easy, persuading other people to part with theirs for players you yourselves don't want is nearly impossible.

It's a really weird situation for me. We seem to have the current 18 and then the rest appear to be in a secondary bomb squad. Considering Smith was our biggest outlay in the summer as well. Has he fallen out with them all?. We now have no natural left back in sight and be even shoe horned Carter Vickers at right back, seems this 2 for each position was just one of his lavish promises he has failed to deliver on.
