Complete donkey....think Trevor Benjamin.
I was staggered to hear on the football league show at the weekend that he has netted 20+ this season....it must not just be League 1 that has declined in standard. Ajose is an interesting one, I agree with those who think he wouldn't cut it at a higher level as his all round game is very limited. That said, whilst half a million maximum would probably be the correct amount for him, I really don't know who would be an adequate replacement goals wise for that amount. Anyone got any thoughts aside from that carthorse Akinde? Is 500k worth gambling survival for? I don't think so, and unless a club bids more than that I would like to think we'd keep him for another season. That said, listening to Williams post match yesterday I am sure he is off. |

Ajose scores and nowt else.
A real asset to us this season but a team will have to accommodate him , rather than sign him as a useful additional.
I really hope we sign an imposing midfielder who can head, tackle and make a short pass to the footballing midfielders. Really missed a player like that who can cut up rough when the physical teams show up.
Shame that Rodgers probably won't turn up for pre season having reinvented himself as a David Perkins type midfielder, which is exactly what we need at this level. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Sadly it's more likely to be a David Prutton type of midfielder? |

Ha, yes, he of the not so subtle "I don't want the ball from this throw in" hand signal. If ever there was one signing that completely unbalanced a previously successful team then he was the one. |

On paper, that team should've been decent! |

Super Jon only has 2. Some of our defenders would be well up in the assist list...for the opposition. |

I noticed in the Shrewsbury game Ajose was dropping deeper and getting more involved in the play. At one stage he was in our own half working back. I think this may be key next season given the slow and fairly static nature of our play at times.

Interesting to see Brad Barry got players' player. Think he's much more highly internally than externally...

He has missed 2 sitters(ish) in the last 2 games. The one against Chesterfield did come quickly to him 6 yards out which went over the bar. Against Shrewsbury he had a great chance 12 yards out and again put it over the bar. 2 chances which you would expect Ajose to gobble up. I don't think goalkeeper saves/drops for Ajose to tap in is counted as Assists, I think if they did, Jon's assist record would be much higher. |

so with 35 goals between them Nicky Ajose and Jonathan Obika are divisions best strike partnership. Certainly without Obika Ajose was no where near as effective as demonstrated by Cooper playing him out wide where he barely touched the ball for about a month. Ling going with 2 up front essentially saved us from the certainty of relegation that the previous formation would have brought about.
