    Cummon Fordy, you can do better than that. You have actually told us nothing.

    That’s a great reply to the thread. Much better than the “he’s shit” posts that offer no rationale or context.

    Me? I’ve hardly seen him play so I’m not writing him off.

    Hardly seeing him play is the ONLY reason though. Once you have you'll be joining the rest of us.

    Grant had a deadly shot and hit the target a few times.

    I've been out and haven't been able to respond until now, but as expected most of you are missing the point of the thread completely. It isn't about whether Bruenker is good, bad or indifferent. It's about what is the point having him on the bench if you aren't ever going to play him, be it because he's not good enough or because MC doesn't want to play with a target man. I suppose after yesterdays match it's a bit of a redundant question now, although it sounds like he wasn't any worse than the rest, and at least had the decency to acknowledge the travelling fans after the match.

    You asked why he's not getting game time from the bench and you've been told-- he's not good enough. There's no point asking a question if you don't want to hear the answer.

    The point of Kai is that is shows whoever 'spotted' him and sanctioned his signing knows very little about the level required for league one football in this country. There is a common theme right through the club at present of having too many staff, whether playing, coaching or otherwise, that are completely out of their depth. It's not a direct dig at the player, the concern is with whoever thinks they are good enough and decided to take the punt. You can see the same with our obviously threadbare and inexperienced squad, outwith the few decent signings we have. Once we lose some of them to injury, supension, dip in form, we are in even deeper shit than we are now.

    Wrong. The question was -again - what is the point having him on the bench i.e. taking up a place, if MC doesn't want to play him, either because he's not good enough or he doesn't want to play a big man

    You've just given us both of the plausible answers so if you knew them what was the point in asking the question?

    He's on the bench to make up the numbers and Collins is reluctant to play him because he isn't good enough.

    youve already answered your own question anyway, so I'm not sure why you're asking it?

    Conlon scored 17 goals for us. I can't see Kai doing that. I can't see him doing that because he's on the bench most games. I also can't see him doing that, because he's not good enough. Effort and applauding the fans is all well and good - and the boy is obviously passionate about his football and desperately wants to get off the mark, but with poor positioning sense, lack of control, lack of playing experience at this level, lack of service to him within the team, lack of discipline leading to many fouls being given against him, I just don't see where he's going to make progess within the club. Again, another transfer window opportunity lost - send him out on loan, getting an experienced target man in his place for the rest of the season.
    And while we're at it - what's the actual point of Danny Devine also? And while I am still at it - what's up with the reserve keeper situation yday? Why was GSK on the bench and not the other lad we signed? And why isn't the German centreback we signed coming on when we've changed tactics - instead of a lightweight FB playing in that position?
