Generally, yes the service has been poor with the exception of the odd decent ball.
Did Dean Windarse who got 27 goals have crap service at Bradford, no he didnt. I know this isnt all down to Summerbee, but I bet he played his part
Personally I'd rather see shakes played on the right wing all season, and hopefully see some improvement in his crossing ability rather than Sumerbee who's only going to get worse with age.
I agree with giving Shakes time, but what happens when we come to the possible conclusion that he cant cross and isnt delivering the goods. Whether you want to accept it or not we are in a relegation scrap this season, we need all the point we can get. If players arent delivering we need to swap them for players who will. Remember last season when Fallon wasnt playing well up front, did we keep playing him and hope eventually he would come go, no we got Henderson in on loan, we signed Roberts!
Your point about improvement dosnt really stand up, yes summerbee would probablly have got better with a few games, but so will shakes as hes young and has hardly played any league football.
Will Shakes improve though? Has anyone ever seen Shakes play for other teams? Has anyone seen Shakes player better for another team than he has for Swindon?
Has anyone seen Nicky Summerbee play before, hell yes. Have we seen him play for other teams, do we know exactly how good he is, do we know exactly what he can bring to a team, yes.
With Summerbee we knew what we were getting, we knew he was good enough for this level.
There is still no gurantee that Shakes is up to it
