How do we feel about Juke?

Personly I feel he is not the player he was and offers nothing to the team. He chased 2 balls into the corner, which I thought he should have caused the defender some sort of problem but the closest he got was to put the defender over the advertising boards and was very lucky not to get a yellow. Something is wrong, lost heart, covid his legs have gone, which I don't know. Another question is that we signed a kid from Man city and the last I heard of him as he was training with the first team and looking good. I have not seen his name in any of our teams but having said that I can't remember his name. Hate this getting old and a third question is where am I LOL

Follow the thread. He’s not right.

Firstly covid could be having an effect but so could a lack of game time.

However I actually feel very sorry for him in a way. He’s not been utilised at all by AK. There’s been no service that he thrives on. Takes the piss when we put about 150 crosses in to Hogan against QPR and then go to Huddersfield and put a grand total of 5 in to the box.

AK also seems to bring Juke in with Tricky Vicky, which doesn’t suit either of them.

The other thing is, he’s very much brought in as a defensive weapon. Even yesterday he spent more time in our box than in theirs.

There might be issues around his fitness, but the way he’s been treated won’t help and isn’t very fair imo.

I also think that Juke is a player that thrives on confidence. He’s playing for a manager who has twice sold him, and is not using him as a bit part. Either way though, unless Juke is ‘not trying’, which I don’t believe is true, there is something wrong with him. He’s not fit. That’s down to AK & the fitness staff of so. A 31 yr old pro don’t just become 50% the man he was.

I understand what you are saying about not being used properly and agree but what I don't agree with is that it is no excuse for him not even jumping or running for the ball. There is no determination about him in any form.

Well I hope the noise we are making about the clear change in Juke sparks some kind of reaction.
