Maybe you should see that although ive said he played ok yesterday that this is only one game in a long season where the rest of it he has contributed the grand total of zero assists and zero goals for an attacking midfielder that's pretty shite. Even billy bodin has contributed more.

He's the perfect profile for that center forward we've been looking for and never going to buy too.

Not sure who you’re arguing against here, no one is denying he has had a crap season. But in Pearson’s abscenece we are going to need someone with presence in midfield. Yesterday’s performance showed that Potts can be that man if he steps up and delivers that level of performance.

End of the day, we’ve just lost our best player, lost back to back games. We need to generate some positivity from somewhere and if that can come from an upturn in the form of Potts, I’ll happily ignore the season he has had thus far
 
Potts' lack of game time after Blackburn in the Senior Cup was a shame as he did show that nous to drive into space and took his goal well. Now he's shown what he can do in a league game it's on him to win his place in the team full time. Hopefully he can display motivation as he does look a bit lazy at times but as long as he's on the pitch giving it everything he needs our full support.

Leeds - lost
Sheff Utd - lost
Hull - drew
Hull - lost
Villa - drew
Rotherham - lost
Doncaster - lost (probably wouldn't have played anyway)
Bristol City - drew
Blackburn - won
West Brom - lost
Ipswich - won

So, discounting Doncaster, that's 2 wins and 3 draws from 12 games - 9 points from a possible 36. Doesn't augur well...

Pearson is way more consistent, Davies has games where he really struggles semi-frequently.

If I had to rank my top 5 performers this season Davies would be 4th:

Pearson
Fisher
Rudd
Davies
Barky

I think Hunts is perfectly capable of backing up, as he demonstrated superbly earlier this season. Ledson can’t lay a finger on Pearson

Fisher better than Davies ?
We need a good few bottles of red to debate that one

Davies is a better player than Fisher, but Darnell has outperformed him this season.

Did you see the game on Sunday? Fisher dominated a £15m winger and played a couple of very clever passes that led to good opportunities for us. He’s one of our best players and it is time people woke up to that fact

4 weeks is the absolute bare minimum for a hamstring its usually 6-8 being sensible.

That said he’s already missed 1 week so 5 weeks from now is a good bet, there is an international break as well so I would guess they are aiming for sheff w away and more likely forest home i would guess.

no it isnt - it all depends on the Grade and we havent been told the grade !

We love a good debate
Albeit I don’t want to derail the thread
I might argue Davies has been more consistent ?
 
Why does everyone rate Davies as so much better than Bauer? Maybe I've got used to watching German defenders over here, but I think he's more reliable. Davies shows more class at times, but also costs us at times (e.g. at WBA, where he was at fault on both goals)
