I think injuries forced his hand with Doucoure and Davies, they aren’t too bad when they come on as subs or when they are with the first team players around them.
Garner is the big disappointment for me, I expected him to be a lot more attacking, he is just another Gomes who plays pointless sideways passes.
Can't help but feel a bit sorry for Jimmy-G tbh. I didn't see all of yesterday's game, but the bits I did see him and Patterson looked like the only players trying to do something or were at least mentally operating at a level above the rest - did he not have a instinctive great left foot shot early in the first half that shaded the bar or something?!?
Even in the games he's come on, it looks like he's *trying* to do something, find a pass and make things happen, but it's just not clicking for him. Young lad, was at Man Utd, wasn't going to get a chance under Ten Hag (who might be gone himself come summer), comes to a struggling EFC, and still doesn't get a start most weeks. Needs to improve sure, but there's a creative player there for me; hence I can imagine his frustration and feel a bit for the lad.
