2020/21 Josh King

[DaChunk]

Doesn't look like he has the mentality tbh too quiet lacking the aggression someone in his position needs.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

So far its been a very unsuccessful trial.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

117 minutes across 8 matches since signing. That's a story that basically writes itself.

I was talking to a Fulham supporting mate over the weekend, mainly on the topic of RLC and the academy system producing players who shield the ball but don't do much with it. I was hoping King would offer a different dimension to our attack, with pace and bringing the threat of beating his opponent.

Doesn't seem like he's going to get much of a chance.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I, a staunch long term advocate for his signing have gone VERY quiet on this one

 

[Carlito]

Seems like you can't write a player off after a small handful of appearances, except when you can.

There has to be something seriously wrong with him if he can't get a look-in ahead of Iwobi or Bernard.

 

[maccavennie]

Only a matter of time before he hits the ground running and starts scoring the 13 goals i said he would provide when we signed him.

Apart from when I'm wrong, I'm never wrong and I'm 63% sure I'll be proved right once again.

Nothing seriously wrong just an aging Championship level Theo Walcott.

I've seen enough of him in the past to know that he's got a lot more about him than the two mentioned.

He must have had a bad injury or something. He used to be decent.

He's come into a struggling team off the bench. Give him a run with James lets see then.

 

[messymascot]

If DCL picks up an injury he is there if needed if not he's an option off the bench. In the summer we bid him fair well and bring someone else more suited to the plan.

 

[Bluestar]

Not sure we’re going to keep him. Hasn't had much opportunity to be fair, but hasn’t particularly done anything when he has come on.

I thought he would have had an opportunity on the right. We’re crying out for some energy and creativity there.

Perhaps he will get some time after the international break? Is he in the Norway squad?

If DCL gets an injury, Richie goes up front. Then bernard, gylfi, davies, end up playing wider. King isn't near the starting 11.

 

[Marius57]

Has so far done completely as expected. Hope he manages to turn it round and do something, but I can't see it.

 

[Egil Olsen]

King is not a long-term solution. Still, I'm a little surprised he's not got more playing time. We are a team that struggles to create chances, and lacks much of the skills that King possesses.

King himself says he is in good shape and is ready to play. However, there are 10 games left, and I'm sure he's given more playing time. But judging him by what he has played so far is madness

 

[Terrarian]

Has so far done completely as expected. Hope he manages to turn it round and do something, but I can't see it.

A bit unfair, I didn't want the guy and expected this course of events but he's hardly had a chance to show what he can do. Nobody, no matter how good you are can impress with ten mins here and there.

He's got the same problem as Moise, he can't get the minutes to try and establish himself.
