He doesn't seem to have the ability to use his physical strength to mess centre backs around in the way that he needs to do to effectively lead our line. Really hope he comes good but at the moment a fit John Jules would play up front every game going forward in my opinion.Hayden one of the Carlisle centre backs was being tipped to go on to great things by the Radio Cumbria commentators. The Premier League was mentioned. Some of the criticism Ferji is getting is ridiculous. If he doesn’t get decent service into the box what is he supposed to do? The ball needs to come in much quicker from both flanks. His hold up play is work in progress and I do feel every one is comparing him to Marquis. Maybe some of the Marquis bashes will now realise just how good he actually was and how phenomenal his work rate was.Ferji has a lot to live up to and is doing his best in a lone striker role which with 2 centre backs permanently up your behind is a thankless task. Give the lad a break. He has scored 6 goals and if he continues at the goals per match rate for the whole season would get 20Come on the commentary was farcical at times. The biased one thought they were playing Dagenham & Redbridge and thought it was only us who commited any fouls.Of course he thought one of their players was premiership quality.

Hmmm yes he did, but I agreed with most of what he said? Quite a few were never fouls, the Amos running off the pitch being a good point. He was losing the foot race, and tried to get infant and lean back on their player, Amos got it wrong and fell over....we got the foul. I found them overly fair, and sympathised with them, you would be gutted if they went against us.Its strange how we all see or hear things differently.
The commentary was atrocious, supremely biased and they clearly had little to no idea about us or our players as was evidenced multiple times. Calling us Dagenham & Redbridge, saying they'd "heard Whiteman is quite good", discussing Darren Moore as if he'd just joined us. That's before you get into the unbelievable bias on show at every foul or missed chance etc. They even had Carlisle fans getting in touch to tell them how ridiculous some of the things they were saying were, like the claim that their defender was "Premier League quality".

This forum requires a fall guy, that's the rules. So far this season the critism has been mild. Its been a toss up between the left back position and whoever leads up front. The focus has now irmly shifted to Feji. Let me say I wasn't impressed by him on Sunday. I would go so far as to say he had a stinker and unless he is as thick as a plank, he knows it, too. We can rip him to shreds all day long, but don't go thinking players don't look in on web forums now and then, so what will that achieve? I'm prepared to be patient, give him a chance. Hopefully let him develop some confidence. No point in undermining him. Unfortunately others won't. They need a victim on which to vent their collective spleens. So go on, give me an example of when dishing out dog's abuse ever improved a player. I'm not expecting much in the way of recruitment in January. I doubt anyone is. If Whiteman leaves, maybe a replacement. But these are difficult times. We are where we are. It's unlikely we will see a proven 20-goals a season player beating down our door at the start of 2021.Cut Feji a bit of slack. It won't make him less confident in a role that clearly doesn't suit his attributes.It's up to Darren to get the most he can from the resources he already has. We can help in a small way by supporting his choices.

I can’t see anyone giving him dogs abuse on here, just honest opinion of his performances

Sorry but in my opinion we need a different option.
He isn’t a bad player. Full Stop. DM would not have signed him if he wasn’t good enough. Give him time. He has got 6 goals and he isn’t at his best yet. So how many will he get when he is. Why oh why do some people have to have a scapegoat. Even Marquis got stick on here and some thought he wasn’t up to it.
