Agree 100%.I imagine Muniz and Mowett are costing us a fecking fortune in loan fees and wages. I'm not sure if we can terminate them in Jan (don't been litteraly )
Hackney has over taken Mowett 10 fold. Also frankly I'd much prefer Coburn ahead of Muniz. Half the price and actually developing our own young player rather than someone else's.
He's developing by playing regular first team football for Bristol. He'd be a sub for us, not developing.Retain unless there is a better option available. Seems odd that we have young josh doing well for brizzle and we can’t utilise his skills
I did wonder with him not getting off the bench whether we were trying to force something contractual to be triggered (or possibly not triggered)? Either not contributing as much to salary, not having to pay an increased loan fee, or if he doesn't feature in 'x' number of games he can be recalled.We may not be able to cancel his loan but maybe not playing him is designed to force Fulhams hand and make them recall him. He is their asset at the end of the day and us not playing him is hurting his value and development.
Totally agree, he looks like our most promising player in years and he's a clinical finisher and has always looked a handful when brought on from the bench.He's developing by playing regular first team football for Bristol. He'd be a sub for us, not developing.
Good points, rare to see a player with Akpoms skill set, strong, good hold up play and finshing but also can drop deeper and play some lovely passes which he did on more than one occasion yesterday, not sure josh has that in his locker from the limited time I've seen him here and at Bristol rovers.Totally agree, he looks like our most promising player in years and he's a clinical finisher and has always looked a handful when brought on from the bench.
But I seem to recall in most of his starts he look pretty anonymous and a bit lost at times. I honestly believe he's in the best place he can be. He's getting minutes in a tough league, getting goals and seems to be a bit of a cult figure with their fanbase. I'm pretty sure he'll be loving it, and he can come back in pre-season with a bit more muscle on him, pointier elbows and a bit of swagger from being away and doing the business. It's up to him in training and in the friendlies to prove to Carrick he's ready to lead the line for us.
I do wonder a little of how he'd fit in? He's not going to be the little nippy one closing down, running the channels and harassing the opposition back line. So he's going to be utilised instead of Akpom in our current system as the link up/hold up man you would think?
On Akpom's current form and goal scoring run, Josh isn't going to start ahead of him, and although we've seen little so far, you would think Hoppe is good enough cover, and we're using Crooks there too.
Josh needs regular game time. We will be served better by him getting another 20 starts and 10 goals at Rovers, than by getting 8 starts for us. He's getting the miles in the tank right nowRetain unless there is a better option available. Seems odd that we have young josh doing well for brizzle and we can’t utilise his skills
really disappointed in Mowatt, he looked good at ?BArnsley a couple of seasons ago.I'm hoping we can terminate Mowatt's loan option.
He's a waste of money and space.
Muniz is one I'd take or leave. I think he's a good option but I wouldn't be sorry to see him go back to Fulham.

Watch the highlights from saturday. He didn't score but his movement was superb. https://www.skysports.com/watch/vid...ol-rovers-1-0-port-vale-league-one-highlightsCoburn's career
Championship - goal every 109 minutes
League One - goal every 146 minutes
there will be plenty of teams after Muniz and MowettI think the only reason we were able to end his loan early was that Birmingham were willing to take it over on the same terms otherwise we'd have had to keep him.
