Utaka……deserves a 2nd (well 4th or 5th) chance

So after witnessing a good performance the other night from JU could he have a regular part in the team next season?

Paul Hart in Wednesday’s News seems to think so.

I agree with Paul Hart that Utaka’s best position is centre forward,…well I think we can all agree on that.

We all know he has pace…..the skill to take on players, it’s just the end product that is lacking. Almost a modern LuaLua

He seemed to enjoy himself Monday …now I don’t know if that’s because:

a) No pressure game
b) Had something to prove after the penalty miss at Ewood
c) Putting himself in the shop window

I think he still has something to offer on a regular basis. (This based on a very limited transfer fund.)

Him and Crouch up front, with Niko playing a free role behind them. The flicks from Crouch, and the pace of John could prove to be quite damaging.

It’s just a shame we haven’t got 3 or 4 ‘meaningless’ games left for John to show us what he can do.

Hopefully Sunday will give us an indication.
