    Couldn't have said it any better, he is slowly becoming a passenger from his initial good start for us. Again yesterday, I thought he was hardly involved. We know what he's capable of delivering so why has he suddenly switched to a lower gear? We simply have to start two up front to change our 'already known' approach to any game. Come on Matt.....JUST DO IT!

    My guess is he's switched to a lower gear because he's frustrated with the negative tactics that don't suit his style of play. Cafu played a part in Nottingham Forest's promotion campaign to the Premiership and when we signed him he came with much praise from their fanbase. In him we have a player with the class, ability and experience to play a huge part in our campaign this season. He knew when he signed that his efforts would be at the opposite end of the table to his time at Forest, and he has shown what an asset he can be. So if his attitude has changed it could be because 1) he's a bad egg with a bad attitude or 2) he's frustrated with tactics.

    Only Cafu has the answer. But I will say that Matt Taylor signing him was one of the highlights of transfer window so either way its a real shame it has gone sour

    Forgive me if I am wrong but isn't the mantra to the fringe players " Go and Show me why you should be in the team"

    GK has done more than anyone in his cameos to deserve his chance. Whenever he gets the ball. He makes something happen.

    Remind me who turned 2 defenders, went directly at them and won the free kick that he scored from?

    Spot on. It has frustrated me for some time that he never gets a start. I can see him moving on and doing a Yates.
