Joe Gelhardt

[SG90]

This will be down to Marsch who hasn't shown a lot of faith in Joffy ....

Probably because he isn't good enough

[The Subhuman]

Probably because he isn't good enough

Oh he absolutely is ...

[SG90]

Oh he absolutely is ...

Well he's not shown it at all this season

[MightyWhites]

And he's definitely not showing it today!

[velo]

Is he playing?

[The Subhuman]

Marsch has been clueless that's why....

Bielsa used Tyler Roberts and Dan James before Gelhardt.

Anonymous 1st half. Got into game 2nd half. Playing as lone striker doesn't really suit him. If thats the way, he needs to keep coming deep to get more involved. Was better when Rodrigo was on.

Felt for the kid again. We all wanted to see him but the team was so poor first half Messi would have been pulling his hair out. He gets pulled just has the game is starting to open up. Once again he seems to get the rough end of the stick. If he comes on with 20 to go when Cardiff are out on their feet and all over the place he may have done better. But that's just excuses from me.

[Pullhard]

A loan spell for rest of season could give him the game time to bring him along

Perkins only needed one chance though. We can't keep making excuses for him. He just isn't as good as he's been hyped up to be. That's not his fault of course, but the board's and fans' fault for overhyping him. Maybe a loan will do him good, but I don't see a PL level player sadly.

Who does he start for in the Championship though? None of the top 6, and a struggling side won't improve him tbh.

We were so bad he didn't get any chances. They were down to 10 and out on there feet and i dare say Joffy would have enjoyed that but its also fair to say its not happening for him and maybe a loan will do him good.

He would've scored a tap in had he reacted quicker just before the Greenwood chance. I just don't see the top level striker that loads do. I wouldn't even call him a top Championship striker either, as none of the top sides would start him.

Not everything is Marsch's fault. He hasn't shown anything when he's had starts. His best position is a super sub with 15/20 mins left if we're chasing a game.

There will be plenty of takers in the championship for Joe's services, wigan, swansea and sunderland all showing interest, sunderland may go all out to buy him.

[Barlow Boy]

sunderland may go all out to buy him.

I don’t mind a loan, but a full sale would not be for me.

Barring more injuries to the attackers, in a couple of weeks we could have every attacker almost match fit.
Unless it’s a cup game I can’t see Joffy getting a look in - he might not even make the bench.

LW. Sinisterra/Summerville/Gnonto/ Harrison/ Rutter

CF. Rodrigo/Bamford/ Rutter/Gnonto/Summerville

RW. See left wing

Surely a loan is the only option?

PS, I like Joffy but this is how it might pan out.

It would be the best for his development. Best for the club in the long run too. They might decide to keep him around for 5 minute sub appearances just because our current position is so precarious.

Seems I recall that some people compared Joe Gelhardt to Wayne Rooney. So how about we send him to DC United in MLS. He can reunite with Klichy and learn from his name sake.
