Totally unnecessary dig at Kone , who is going through a hard time with injuries and form, but has already proved his value to us |  | |  |

Its not a dig at kone. More a criticism of JS who seems to refuse to use obikwu even when kone is woefully put of sorts. Kone should be taken out of the first team picture for at least a month. Make him get himself sorted, play and hopefully score goals for the dev squad and then come back. At the moment we are persisting with playing him and it isn't helping us or him. |  | |  |

He almost had his leg snapped in half in a development game last month by some up and coming thug in a Bolton shirt.Should we really put him through that again?Maybe a complete rest would be better for his recovery. |  | |  |

Think we can agree that tackle was and hopefully will be a ohe off. The only way kone will get back to his best is if he is playing 90 mins and more importantly scoring goals. Strikers love scoring more than anything. He ain't going to find that just training against Morrison or some kid from the academy. Get him playing in the dev/reserves etc and get him scoring. Then give him kins with the first team. Unfortunately due to burrell and possibly Lloyd being injured we probably have no choice other than involve kone every week now. |  | |  |

I hope we absolutely complained about that. The Bolton team were obviously told to go in hard as that wasn’t the only incident where the aggression was unnecessary. It’s crazy for a DS match. How the guy didn’t get a red card I have no idea. Pathetic refereeing. As for Obikwu we don’t know why he’s not being picked. Maybe he just isn’t good enough. It happens. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

£500k, not exactly Ned Zelic or Zan Celar money. Every club signs some duds. |  | |  |

| Dembele playing now against Bristol City… on 10:46 - Oct 21 with 880 views | aston_hoop | Such is my lack of confidence in our medical department, that I am worried about us rushing him back before he is ready. I am sure they know better and if they say he is ready to be involved with the first team on Saturday, then fine. But, that nagging suspicion that they don't really know what they are doing is still there. I worry we'll just lose him again, same as happened with Poku about 4 times last season. |  |

It seemed the Obikwu transfer was just ‘one for the future’, never really understood why the expectations are to see him play and make a big difference when he was struggling to get in a League one side and scored very few goals. For me it was only ever a gamble on a player we could develop. Massive problems upfront now that RB is out, really not sure the answer. |  | |  |

That explains why he's not starting, but not why he's not playing at all when we just need a warm body to run around a bit . |  | |  |
| Dembele playing now against Bristol City… on 21:26 - Oct 21 with 334 views | dmm | I am sure Obikwu was signed last January to fill the slot left by the injured Burrell and that he was picked because of his pace. |  | |  |

That, indeed, is what we were led to believe. Raw but with pace to burn and an option to fill in for burrell |  | |  |
