Not done enough to warrant being extended in my opinion- looked ok in first start against Walsall but not since.

We need badly a target striker for Cox to play off- and a centre midfielder

 Roll on the close season....

He's definitely got something there that will cause the opposition problems. Just had a terrible game on Tuesday.

He says with the same confident assurance he told us Money had been appointed manager and that Cox was definitely leaving in Jan :)

Although I do think you're probably right FWIW

Some people are being too critical. He is only 19 and inconsistency is what 19 year olds provide.

Quite. He's here as a part of his football development. We've had far worse with far more experience.

Yes but it's not what we need in a struggling team. It's not like we are trying to develop our own player.

He might come good I guess.

He needs to deliver. Something he didnt do tuesday.

Fair play to him though. Our fans will not pull any punches the next 3 months (nor should we). He could have had an easy life and gone back to Reading reserves.

We need that end product though.




(desperately).

Surely Bart's older than 19?

Cant believe he's getting grief !!? He looks more likely to create something or do something himself than most of our 'midfield'. I for one am glad we've got him for a bit longer, and I'm sure he'll win over the doubters some that were singing his praises two games ago !  >:(

He seems a decent player from what i've seen,you cant slate him for the other night he was no worse than anyone else wearing a red shirt.

Im glad we have him another 3 month's.

He's got a bit of something about him, but his shooting was woeful on Tuesday. Glad he's staying, but hope he just had a bad day at the office.

If he plays for the team, he'll be very useful.

If, like Tursday, he plays for himself he's a luxury we can't afford.

He's got a lot more ability than all of our players bar Macca and coxy.  A couple of turns he did on tuesday were pure class.

But his end product was shocking, from memory every single shot and cross missed the intended target often by quite a margin.

He's well worth the loan being extended in my opinion, he just had a bad game on tuesday.

 :nod:

Also I think it's right to have a bit of a go on here, its what message boards are for! He will of course get dfull support when he is out on the pitch.

Spot on.

Don't just shoot when you get the chance, get some crosses in, or pass to a red shirt.
