He was targeting the Forest game and being back in full training next week.

Tommy K has done ok and had a very good game on Tuesday but we miss Ikeme a bit. He takes so much pressure off the back 4 with his desire to dominate the area

Yep, 26th

Thought Tommy played well on Tuesday but Ikeme definately dominates box so will be good to get him back

Might have been different if his slip had turned out different.

His save at full stretch was quality....but he does flap at crosses into the box...

 

[Penk Wolf]

Ikeme must be ready to return from next week then

Starts full training Monday and McCarey going to Oldham.

A round-up of the midweek fixtures;

Clarke played the full game and had a goal disallowed for Wigan. They're surely doomed now. Jacobs managed an ineffective hour for Blackpool who are even more doomed.

Cassidy got a token 5 minutes for Southend and Reid managed 80 for Telford. Both teams lost as well.

Saville and Cassidy were unused subs.

Talented lad that Cassidy

Slightly concerning that Saville is on loan a league down & still not getting on

I think it's more conclusive, than concerning. I don't think our first team will be troubled by him again.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

1 in 3 success rate on the bigger money signings so far then, Afobe looking like money well spent but Saville not upto much and Clarke already gone effectively, not a great showing.

 

[Wombat del combate]

I always took Clarke's signing as a very specific means to an end though, which was a success lest we forget, so I'd be inclined to discount him in this kind of analysis.

 

[machin05]

What would you say is average, Mark?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Clarke was about £500k, the same as we paid for Golbourne and McDonald.

True but that hardly fits into a decent argument.

 

[Sniffer]

Permanent signings of Ricketts, KMac, RVLP, Clarke, Saville, Afobe, Dicko, Golbourne, Hause, Rowe.

I'd say that is 6 successes, albeit that Ricketts was for one season, one doing OK for a first season in English football, one who has mainly been injured and two duds isn't too bad a return.

Kuszczak too who has done well on the whole. A couple of iffy goals vs Watford and Brighton but generally he has been fine and our results without Ikeme have stayed good. Lots of clubs would have a major issue if their first choice keeper got ruled out for a couple of months.

Just a pity that we spunked the amount of money that we did then - still he's only, what, 21, so suppose there's still time
