Mark is a really good shot stopper but as mentioned he doesn't command his area , he fists away when he could catch and that keeps us under pressure.
Jake is 21 , the same age that Joe was in our first league season 2007/2008 and he did really well for us.

If he reproduces the form that valued him so highly for us then a bloody good loan deal negotiated by DA and shows for me the calibre of our manager.

Whilst not his biggest fan, Mafoumbi was brought in while Mark was waiting for a hip operation to keep him out for 4 months, but Covid19, has meant that he didn't miss much. He was only fit enough for the bench in that period. Regarding the numbers, I believe that Mark was given the option of changing his number, but opted to keep the number that he has had for most of his career. Who starts as first choice (rather than the number on their shirt), remains to be seen. I agree that Jake may we'll start, but I don't think that Mark should be ruled out and cast aside just yet, especially not by the number that any player wears.Patricio at wolves, based on his number 11, should be a left winger !. Just saying
