Not getting on the pitch on Tuesday was not a good sign for Danny. I always felt the 18-month deal was suspect too as it didn’t out much faith in him making it. I feel like he could do with a move to a team in NL with a full run like Sandat has at Wealdstone. Might come for him then. Feels like he needs that to flourish but hasn’t got it here for whatever reason.
I felt sorry for him on Saturday with 5 minutes to go he was ready to go by the side of the pitch and then they changed their minds. I honestly don't think he's been given a chance this season unfortunately.
If I was Waldron I'd want to go out on loan somewhere I was going to play.
Yeah does feel like his face doesn’t fit at the mo. Which I think can happen with Kev, he needs to be convinced and sometimes you can’t do that for whatever reason. On the human side he gave up a lot to join us and that showed willing so hope when he goes he gets a crack at NL and one he deserves for giving it a go.
Totally hear what you're saying but do you think Waldron has been given enough of a chance? It's not like our strikers have been banging in goals either. I'd love to have seen how he would fare with a big target man (like Hopper in fact) alongside him. Or maybe on the right of a front 3.
It is bewildering that Danny Waldron has not been given a first-team start since his recovery from injury earlier this season. It is not as if Bonne, Kendall and Walker have been prolific. In fact, these strikers continue to be anything but clinical in front of goal, and on that basis have been extremely lucky to retain their places in the starting line-up. In terms of rational decision-making, it is decidedly odd that Kevin Maher has not been curious to see how Waldron would combine with Bonne or Kendall or Walker when the team has clearly struggled to score goals for much of the season.
It's a fair point, but he had a good number of games alongside one of the best number 9's in the league, Cardwell.
Maybe ,just Maybe he will be given that chance tomorrow against Sittingbourne who knows , if he is given that opportunity i hope he takes it otherwise people here will continue to say he wasnt given an opportunity if he is and fails then all things will be dispelled , whatever the outcome should he go to another NL club i will wish him all the best, he made a hard decision to come here ,i for one was hoping like Vardy ay an older age it would work out for him .
Only thing I'd say about Waldron (and not to compare it to Wood, I do trust the three amigos judgment) but he's only played the equivalent of just over 3 games this season. Very hard to impact a game when you're 2-0 up and come on for the last five minutes when the whole tempo of the game is pretty low.
Agreed some players just aren't good enough and are found out. Hard to say about Waldron or Wood because neither have had a lot of minutes play and neither have had the opportunity, as now, with three up front and chances galore. A lot of our players have looked substandard playing the old way and now look like new signings. I would happily see Waldron coming on for Walker and seeing what he can do. I suspect he would look somewhat better than previously.
I tend to think this year its mainly down to in jury?
He might not if injured for 4 months?
You are spot on in pointing out his injury woes. I would also suggest he has been incredibly unlucky in their timing. He signed an eighteen month contract at the back of last season which made the pre season and first six weeks of the new season the most important time of his career as it was then he needed to establish himself. Instead he had an interrupted pre season before picking up a knee injury which kept him out, as noted above, for fourteen weeks. That injury ensured he was unavailable when, the wake of Cardwell's departure, he likely would have been given ample game time.
