He's worth keeping around but have to take the context that he's fresh legs coming on against a team that have stopped bothering to try properly.

I completely. Based on his performances I’m at a loss to explain why he’s not getting more time. Is he not doing the defensive side as well or something? (I rarely get to actually see a game now).

He genuinely does glide effortlessly with the ball. We have to use him more. Omari is overdue a rest.

When he gets on the ball he can look really sharp but he disappears from the action for long spells and off the ball it's almost the case that we might as well have 10 men at times.

Guess the difference between him and Hutchinson, say, is that even if the latter isn't playing great, he's still very involved and gets on the ball whereas Broadhead can go completely missing and then we're just carrying him in the hope he can pull something off if he ever gets the opportunity.

He's so much better than [insert name] at keeping the ball in tricky areas and thus keeping our rare attacks alive. Boggles my mind that KM values this quality less than me tbh!

Ideally, I'd love Enciso to be our starter and Omari our finisher; the latter is still building to PL standard in my opinion. That would leave us massively upgraded in one position, to have Omari's quality available at the end of games.

RW confuses me though and I'm gutted for Wes.

I prefer a player goes missing occasionally but delivers an end result as happened with Broady and our 2 goals against Fulham, than goes missing the entire game as Philogene did today.

Every Town player who started today went missing for long periods

Too many Town fans think a team should be selected entirely on how much a player cost than if they're delivering an end result.

He is getting more game time though.

We have brought in Enciso and Philogene though so that's a problem for him.

Love Broady and hope he can continue to impress. Huge game up next!

I think Omari needs a reset and a rest

He’s trying too hard - head down , run as fast as possible but not helped with everyone else behind him other than LD

Regardless I still think he’d appreciate a rest

Unless I'm forgetting something then I'm not sure how Broadhead's getting credit for Delap getting fouled in the box at Fulham. Anyway, no-one 'went missing' today we were just dominated by a much better team. Hard for anyone to get involved in an attacking sense until Liverpool took their foot right off the gas.

Had Broadhead started and Jaden replaced him late on then there's not much doubt in my mind that the evaluation would be that Broadhead didn't do much and Jaden looked bright off the bench.

The point with players not being involved in the action is that we can't afford for them to do it at this level. I like Broadhead, he's a quality player when on song but McKenna's bought 3 players (4 if you include Enciso who can play there) to play his position since the summer. His fan club is becoming a bit cult-like on here but the management evidently think there's a fair amount of room for improvement.

You have to play your in-form players, and Broadhead is performing when others are not, regardless of what he cost us.

As said above, I think there's a feeling that because we spent a lot of money on someone they need to play. The belief that we're signing players who are better, and the League One squad should be happy just to breathe the same air. Watching them play games from the start, I would argue some deserve more chances than they're getting, whilst some new signings are being given chance after chance despite not looking like a real improvement.

Game of opinions isn't it but new signings have to play to bed in and get more understanding with their teammates, so not a huge surprise that McKenna favours getting them minutes in the tank if he believes they're better players than what he has.

Hopefully between Broadhead, Hutchinson, Philogene, Enciso and Szmodics (no idea if I've spelled that correctly!) we've now got options to play a full 90 minute strategy again, like we have for the last 2 seasons.

It may well be that the starters have to do the hard work and the finishers get the glory, as they did on plenty of occasions last season, but we shouldn't find ourselves fading out of games quite as badly as we have on a few occasions.

Yeah, the context of the game had changed and Broadhead had far less covering to do than Omari or JP.

And management can be wrong.
Sorry but we're in the PL according to KM & MA not to make up the numbers, in the last two games we're making up the numbers.

You obviously didn't think anyone went missing today, I totally disagree. I never expected us to win, but I did expect players to put in hard tackles at least try and knock the opposition out of their stride. To try and find space, just try and cause Liverpool some problems nothing. All players went missing today.

Exactly Steve - some people seem to think a player coming on late and having an impact when a team has taken their foot off the gas is then the answer to start next match. All v knee jerk. Omari runs himself into the ground and has no out ball half the time when he receives it. He’s also been brought back early from injury due to our lack of options on the rught. If anything Delap has arguably done far less of late. I guarantee broady would’ve made v little difference if he’d started instead of jaden. The fact is we were comprehensively outplayed. Massive amount of context needed. We need a settled team.
