Odd how he scores lots at leyton orient does nothing at mansfield and then does well for walsall.

So is it a him problem or a mansfield problem?

If you look at the highlights on the football league show, you will see he misses an absolute sitter at the end to win it.

Maybe not as infallible as some would hope. He has scored 5 though but don’t think he has any type of future here.

Striker misses a sitter? No way! Like, a single sitter!?!

That's unheard of in football. A striker not scoring every single shot they have? How come few strikers can play 40+ games and only come away with 20-odd goals? They should be in triple digits, surely?

It was hardly difficult either. He got there in plenty of time but directed it well wide. Just pointed out he’s not infallible.

We’re obviously not going to be playing him and somethings happened so can see him coming back in january either, but it’s not a good look really when he’s scoring for fun and we’re firing blanks

I was talking to an Orient fan walking back to the Tube. Not particularly complimentary about DJ. His comment was he will score goals but that’s all he offers adding that he misses lots of chances.

I just don’t think he fits Cloughs style.

I disagree with some but feel our issues are at the top of the pitch.

Our support was excellent yesterday.

I would like him to continue scoring, that way we might get more for him.

The issue is that he hasn’t been replaced.

So who has Swan replaced if it isn’t Johnson.

That’s precisely my point. A proven league 2 goal scorer has not been adequately replaced by an inexperienced youth with no goal scoring record.
Swan may turn out to be a very good player, eventually. However, we need someone who can score goals regularly right now (as Johnson is clearly doing and Swan isn’t).

Which is exactly what we've been trying to sign, but for whatever reason the offers have been turned down.

I don’t buy this we’ve made offers ,dialogue between clubs and the players agent set the ball park,
1-transfer fee
2- player’s salary
3- length of contract
We could put a £20k bid in for Harry Kane does that count as we are proactively trying to sign players ??
Maybe JRs cheque book isn’t so big as some believe?

No we haven't........We have been trying to sign a Number 10 style player....not a goalscorer.
NC said he wanted a No.10....he has bid for Nicols and Rodrigues and other(s).....not a proven goalscorer.#
he wanted a playmaker style forward
His stubbornness in not signing a proven goalscorer and a proper dominant centre half (which he has wanted since january 2022) is our undoing at the moment....and if injuries set in it may well ruin our season

Do you really believe NC would put stubbornness before promotion ?

I suspect 18 other teams in our league are trying to do the same. We have no divine right to promotion. Three league games in and the transfer window is still open. As Gary Barlow sings "have a little patience".

Yes I do - the squad size does not help us with the amount of injuries and suspensions. Did we not have this issue last season? He is having to use players who are injured as he has no backup players.
His reliance on his favourites really does him no favours and the failure to sign a proven centre back, left back and striker will cost us again this season.
