Car'? Where are the starts? The assists? The goals? Where are the performances to justify the exorbitant fee?
Carvalho’s starts? As number 10? Just 2 - and we won em both!
Anyway we shouldn’t be comparing apples with pears - they are completely different types of player.
Yates is good enough. He's developing. Remember that people said that about Worrall and Cash who were 'crap' not that long ago. Cash was still a crap winger even though he was scoring goals from that position. Worrall had to go to Rangers to 'cut out' the mistakes. And Worrall for 'that' goal vs Boro? I don't think the defence had a good game but Yates gets it in the neck for 'bad' game. (Though I could say the same thing about Car', he's not out of form, he's just not 'good enough.')
Two starts is a statistical irrelevance. What about all the games he did play in but scored nor assisted 'nowt?'
They are different players. But the apple of them scored a goal. That's supposed to be the pear's job.
No single Forest fan wants the 'pear' or 'apple' to fail.
I'd rather assess such things after a player's time at a club has passed. I'd be quite happy with the apple and the pear in the side and both doing well.
