Disagree, we've let him down massively over the last 18 months by relying on him before he's ready. It's to Des' credit that he's finally sorted him out with a loan. I'd also give some leeway to Manning who had plenty of fires to put out in the summer, although we should have had another striker in. The bigger issues were before that where we had half a decade to make sure we had enough strikers but didn't manage it.Maybe we shouldn’t write him off just yet to do a job for us in the future. We let him down slightly by not getting in another striker in the summer to allow him to go out on loan all season.
It’s one of the reasons why we should have kept Matty Taylor as it would have allowed GOD to go on loan earlier and have an experienced striker on the books to come. Saying that, Taylor wanted game time which we couldn’t promise him.Disagree, we've let him down massively over the last 18 months by relying on him before he's ready.

He did get Perkins in to be fair but it didn't work. Certainly don't disagree we were left short up top and he's not blameless by any stretch but he had a lot of other fires to put out. If Perkins has worked then maybe we'd have seen GOD out on loan earlier.I don't give Manning any leeway on this
He should clearly have got in a second / third striker as virtually everyone was suggesting.
GOD should have been on loan all season
Hopefully Barnet get promoted into the League and they want to take him back next season in League Two, would be nice progression for him

He's never a L1 player, hope he does well.
But you can see he's not got what it takes at this level.
He’s 19… still plenty of development to do. I massively disagree here, think he’s very raw but clearly a player in there.He's never a L1 player, hope he does well.

I think that he has the attributes to be a very good player.He's never a L1 player, hope he does well.

when he played for the academy, if memory serves, he was invariably right man of 3 up front- was putting more than a few away then (as well)I think that he has the attributes to be a very good player.
He is 19 and has plenty of time to improve.
I think that Barnet are playing him as the left man of a 3 upfront?
