More likely to end up at a bottom 6 PL side, but not impossible he drops down (Wage contribution depending). Flattered to deceive last year, but the championship may be slightly more suited for him and he could be a nice link between Matusiwa in the 6 and Nunez in the 10… a proper number 8? |  | | |  |

I think he’ll be out on loan in Jan which will free up a space. For what it’s worth, I absolutely think CH should’ve had some game time by now. |
But again in the case of Humphreys (for whom I am a big advocate), whom should he have played instead of? We can't just be throwing players into the mix just to gain a bit of experience, especially when the team is struggling to "click", so the front-liners need the maximum time together, and playing catch-up on a slow start to the season. |  |

Had he have been on the bench, Saturday would’ve been a good opportunity to give Leif a rest and give CH some minutes at left back. See also: Ben Johnson. |  | |  |

I just don't understand why anyone would want to go back for a player who has already failed here once. Same in the summer when people were suggesting Brandon Williams, and thankfully the club weren't daft enough to give him another chance. |
He was showing a real determination and will to win which was misinterpreted by the ref. I'm not suggesting we go back for him tough I wouldn't be unhappy of we did manage to pull the deal off. As for Brandon Williams. Seeing as Davis plays pretty much every minute of every game, he'd be inexpensive back up who would rarely be used so I wouldn't mind him coming in. Cheaper than having Ben Johnson warm the bench. [Post edited 22 Dec 13:00]
