Djed Spence

Even if he thinks Spence needs to be eased in then why has he not brought him on for the last 20 mins of games? Porro needs the rest and Spence needs the game time. Spence needs to leave in the summer if he's going to keep on being treated like this. He's 24 and his career has been wasted till now (some of that is down to him, not laying all the blame at Ange's feet).

So let me get this right:
Spence has played 64 league minutes over 4 matches which averages out at 16 minutes per game.
He played 45 minutes in the league cup, against Coventry coming on at halftime when the team stunk out the first half. During the second half he looked one of the best players on the pitch and scored a goal, and that was not even in his preferred position.
It reminds me of the days when I use to wonder why a certain Italian manager refused to play Sarr even though he was deserving of increased minutes.

However much Spence's career seems to be going nowhere here fast, the majority of the blame is NOT on Ange....

My response to that would be, while I am still behind Ange as our manager, there is no doubt in my mind that he has made some dubious decisions when it comes to team selection whether it be starting lineups or substitutions.

True, but i think the Spence issue is symptomatic of a much bigger issue than Ange; who made the decision to buy Spence in the first place? And why?
Because he looked great at Forest and a great prospect? If he is a problem why is he on the bench? Would it not make more sense to keep him away from the squad and let someone else get experience if he was a prob?

Actually, I have changed my mind. I think the critical issue is not who signed Spence, as it is obvious that it was not Conte, it was a club signing.
No. I think the critical question is that after he had been signed and not deployed, who made the decision to offer him a new contract?

The question is what did we tell him to make him sign it?

Yep exactly.
Certainly ‘Your attitude stinks and you’re not in our plans’ is no basis on which to offer a new contract, so we must have made positive noises to him.

Or a pay rise.

Going by the footage from last night it’s clear he’s been offered a role as Ange’s minder.

Yeah true, he’d sign for that. But why would we give a pay rise to someone who wasn’t in our plans. The pay rise offer itself is a positive noise that we want to keep him around.
Someone said earlier it may have been a move to preserve his value. Who knows, he didn’t cost us much in transfer fee and wages.
I like the guy and with Davies injured, Gray may move to CB more and Spence sees some minutes.
I hope.

Tsimikas has played 10 games this season
And Bradley has played in 12 games
Much better use of the players imo

I have been banging the Djed Spence drum all season. He looked good enough when he came on against Coventry and he looks good enough this evening, club signing or not.
Absolutely insane that Ange has refused to use him.
I would play Porro for Johnson, and play Djed as RB.
Ange is his own worse enemy.

I am right behind Ange as manager, however there is no doubt in my mind that he has mismanaged Djed Spence.
He's been injured
