He's always shown good technique and pace. Just needs more composure to finish. He's best we have up front. 

 "he's always shown good technique and pace" you and I watch a different player.  His technique is very erratic. Watch him in the shooting practice before the game which invariably does not improve during a game. He has been murder since April. No one will be happier than me if he rediscovers his form of this time last year but I'm willing to bet he won't.

The big question for me is what level of man management does he need to get the best from him .

He’s  clearly got talent and when confidence is high has scored a lot , and some exceptional goals .

but it seems that a lot of work is required to bring that out - JBA managed it well - but it shouldn’t always be up to the manager .

suspect that’s  why no one signed him and unless he hits form he really should be dropped - albeit not for Thor

The problem with dropping JT is who do you play in his place that will

a) work harder than him

b) provide more of a goal threat

The way we set up with SPH thru the middle, we need goal threat from the wider areas and midfield.

Ibbie gives us that from midfield and Kanga is starting to look like he might be the answer on the left. However, our options on the right are JT, Sparrow or Willy Vogt!

I know he hasnt been producing the goods goal wise for a long time, and I have been critical of him. But he does his defensive duties in respect of covering the fullback, albeit his tackling is pretty poor.

I wouldnt be against playing Sparrow in front of McGhee or Johnnie K, but he isnt going to provide much of a goal threat.
