He's been shit for us, but I don't think he is shit. We've been shit and he's had shit service and not been able to play well in spite of that. we've seen even someone of Austin's quality can struggle to create in this team. That he's got 6 is testiment to his quality and know-how (and Rochdale giving him an inch of space) |

I know Garners football was boring to watch but we did create chances.

The run in was fantastic. The rest was largely competent tedium.

But you are proving a point - good players, even in shit systems, can make a big difference. Imagine if every position had a Charlie Austin equivalent, or a few of them. Many strikers have not had the return he has had, yet he hasn't really been playing in a team creating dominance and chance after chance. |

Experience is key, although his legs may be going he's scored goals at the top level and knows how to get into the right positions and show he clincal he can still be.

Jephcott scored goals for a more direct team so would imagine he would be looking for a club in league 2 that can play to his strengths.

I am sure that Jephcott when played in the right position and role is a decent player at this level, we just cannot seem to accomodate him in a way that will bring the best out of him it seems. |

Agree - Jephcott was capped off at the knees when we didn't sign any other attacking talent to support him and let McKirdy go. He has to play off someone or have physical athletes around him I think. Let him focus on being in the box. Austin is just a better version of him - between them they have 13 goals. Austin all season maybe gets that over 18, even without the extra support players. That's the difference talent + know how can bring you. |
