I've not written him off but I watched him v Bielefeld and

Thought he looked ropey and I watched him (in between the stream freezing) against Fulham and thought he looked a week link. Others have commented on the fact he didn't look great in other friendlies including Charlton.

Maybe he will come good, maybe he won't but generally you can see pretty early with a player whether they have it or not and he really doesn't convince me so I'd like us to have another option to call upon.

Simple as that. Others express similar views on here but don't get jumped on with the self righteous, holier than though cr*p. Expressing opinions on players is what fans do on football messageboards.

        I thought Wildschut was a little unfortunate (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 7, 11:08:29
        
        The fact that it was a problem on both sides does suggest (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 7, 10:57:13
        
        IMO we played too attacking, I thought farke talked about (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Aug 7, 11:01:39

    - There are loads of positives yes but there are also clear areas for improvement (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 7, 09:30:00
  - Have you seen Husband play yet? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 7, 09:18:04
    - Only on a stream admittedly but that doesn't mean you can't see when a player's struggling (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 7, 09:32:57
      - I can't see any abuse, just people chalenging your opinion. (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Aug 7, 12:42:50
      - That's because there's a difference between questioning someone's performance (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 7, 09:39:13

        I can't even tell if Jim is real anymore/just a parody account of the modern football fan. (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Aug 7, 09:45:16
        
        I'm certainly not a modern football fan (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 7, 10:24:50
      - In Jims defence this looked a weaker area against Brighton too (NCFC) - Gob on a Stick, Aug 7, 09:38:34
        
        I thought he had a decent game against Brighton tbh. (NCFC) - norway, Aug 7, 09:54:28
        
        I thought he struggled looking for support ahead of him (NCFC) - Gob on a Stick, Aug 7, 10:02:45
        
        Yeah - he'll settle. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Aug 7, 10:48:16
