Castro feels like something from American football - someone you wheel on when you have a free kick 30 yards from your opponent’s goal. Otherwise, he feels like a bit of a liability (see his careless surrender of possession for the first goal yesterday).
I was very excited about Castro, thought he was good when he came on as sub and then a great game at York but last 2 starts he’s been shocking unfortunately. Francis and Mitchell are not bad players but as u say their not high end performers. If I was Notts I’d probably be looking for a young striker in the Prem or Champ, someone who potentially could thrive in this league but also would accept their not a starter, but I guess that’s not as easy gas it sounds.
