If we were always signing DJ (and I was a strong advocate for NOT) I personally feel we shouldn’t have signed Draper and one of Oteh / DJT.
I’d have started the season with DJ, Matt and one other (possibly Oteh but possibly DJT due to his age) and used Tom Knowles as the 4th striker.
I’d have used the wages we have on Draper and / or Oteh / Draper and signed a right sided player.
But in doing that there had to be an acceptance among everyone that Knowles would be a striker and quite possibly a bit part player and there aren’t many among us that have ever seen him as that.
But I’m not sure we truly believed we’d get DJ and maybe pushed the boat out to appease fans who weren’t happy with the managerial choice….and I also think Oteh came as a late idea.
If we’d had DJ and Oteh in place early on I think they’d be our first choice partnership right now with Knowles and Matt as alternatives.
