Maybe hes just not very good 

Finally someone gets it. He has some talent but not equipped for Mens football Is my opinion.

 

While injuries haven't helped but he doesn't seem to be pushing on.

Right, and Braybrooke was wank and barely got a kick at Dundee, but you don't have to base your whole opinion on a single loan stint.

Think you’ve missed my point there. If anything I’m saying the same. Silko was genuinely crap for Wigan and is now starting for a championship side after basically never showing anything

Yeah I've took that the wrong way to be honest.

I didn’t get my point across well I don’t think. 
 

What I meant was Alves has actually had better loans than Silko in a division above, but it’s Silko who’s in the first team now. 
 

I have no problem with Thomas getting these chances

Alves been class here 

[Rubbersoul]

Huddersfield lose it in the last second. Their fans hate Grant 

[coolhandfox]

Thought Alves was decent after 3 months out.

"maybe Alves isnt very good" maybe it's the managers that dont play him that arent very good.

 

When he plays he tends to impress.

 

[Rubbersoul]

He absolutely rinsed their RB at one point 
 

He seemed to be playing centrally and was roaming everywhere 

[Rubbersoul]

Flashscore has Jayden Joseph playing RW. 

[JimJams]

Hopefully Alves is just having his minutes managed after his return from injury rather than it being a lack of belief from the manager.

Playing LB

Cartwright started for Falkirk. 0-0 at half time.

I don’t think the manager will be there much longer to be fair 

[Ric Flair]

Alves for two thirds of his time at Cardiff last season was actually very good, at the level we are playing currently. I watched a lot of their games and he was usually better off thr bench where he had a few games he changed the game with his assists.

I like Joseph. Hope he continues progressing and can make it here, King said in pre season how good he is at playing so many positions. 

[Big_Nige]

I really hope Alves stays fit for the second half of the season and really kicks on. He had the talent, just needs a run of games

[Rubbersoul]

Watching Falkirk. 
 

Cartwright started the move for the first goal. Played a nice pass forward. 
 

Not really sure what’ll happen with him but he’s a proper battler in the midfield

their fans seem to like him. haven't seen a lot of him myself 

 

we're gonna lose Winks & Soumare so there's at least two CM positions up for grabs

 

Cartwright and Braybrooke seem to be fighting for the backup to Skipp role depending on setup at least

 

I'm working on the assumption (JJ aside) we cant/dont spend any money this summer

He works extremely hard & definitely has the physicality to compete. Pretty good on the ball too. 
 

He’s played as a 10 & deeper so far this season. 
 

Cartwright is in the same mould as James I think would be a fair comparison just not as good obviously 

[ParkerPen]

if we had any sense as a club (!) we'd be trying maximise our academy players, even if we know perhaps there not good enough to play for our first XI, work to maximise their resale value.

 

KDH only got in by accident I am convinced (totally deserved it on talent - I mean there was no obvious plan)

 

Instead we bizarrely do the most not to give any of these guys from the academy a chance, look at Nelson FFS. good chance he doesnt sign a new contract now. ****ing divs in charge.
