Joseph

Just because you signed Joseph in part exchange for Yates doesn’t make them similar players though. Surely the club knew they weren’t signing a 20 goal a season striker, the evidence is clear…

He’s a project with a high ceiling, but that needs training and regular game time in a formation that suits. Guess you’ll have the summer to try and make better use of him…

He isn't getting regular time, first time he's started a game in ages.

He has far more ability than other players yet gets stick.
 
He's been disappointing for sure.

OK coming in for brief subs appearances here and there doesn't help.

He has shown a great touch and awareness at times, scored that 1 nice goal...

But apart from that he's not been good enough in his finishing, although tbf we aren't creating a load of chances for any of the strikers.
 
He's 22 and he needs regular starts and a chance to shine.
Who knows, maybe the next Ryan Hardie or Owen Dale who just doesn't fit in with Critchley's world and needs to be loaned to find confidence.
 
There’s definitely potential there and he’s done well at other clubs. He’s just had an injury interrupted season and has missed a few good chances. The one on Saturday wasn’t a sitter, the defender and the goalkeeper did well.

He’s a better footballer than Lavery and Beesley, Beesley edges him currently because he has a goal in him.

I’m confident he’ll come good but he might still frustrate us at times with his finishing.
 
Quick reminder what Sadler said back in September. Someone dropped the ball!

"Kyle Joseph, the highest known transfer fee this year in League One."
 
I think we can expect a lot more from Joseph next season if you go off the underlaying data.
He managed 2 goals and 8 assists in only 1616 minutes of pitch time, averaging an attack return every 1.8 games which would equate to 25 returns if he played a full season.
Although he only started 12 league games, he was awarded man of the match in two of them (good away win against Bristol and Peterborough), which is a very promising record.
He just needs to get some goals under his belt in preseason.

Great touch? Really? That's the one part of his game that really disappoints me. He never has the ball under control and is therefore easily dispossessed.

Remember them saying the same about Chris Malkin!

Chris Malkin came as a tried and proven goalscorer. 1 in 4 goals average in his entire career. Joseph is at about 1 in 18 with us.

I think when many people look back at Malkin he is used as a yardstick for the worst striker in our history. It simply isn't true. (we have 4 in our current squad worse!!!) Of course he wasn't of the quality he was when at Tranmere but I still remember him having some good games. Away at Wrektum last day of the season when we could have been promoted he had a great game. Shame Tony Ellis got sent off early (and Crewe won) as his legacy could have been very different.

It’s because of the price tag. He would hardly get mentioned if we got him on a free.
 
Interesting if you search Joseph on AVFTT and everyone was enthused when he came and were even talking about him before he came.

Kyle Joseph

I was impressed when he played against us for Wigan and saw he got a hat trick against Burton tonight. I wonder what it would take to prise him away from Wigan?
