Ultra defensive and cautious at Boro. Went up due to a long run of narrow wins and then didn't win enough games to save his job in the EPL.
Forest disliked Magic's patient, slow play so not sure how they will enjoy this.
Unless JC can transform into the lone front man I don't think it looks positive for him.

I'm not particularly concerned about Cummings, but I really don't think this is a good move for Forest - a team for whom I have a lot of affection.

The BBC Gossip Column today is suggesting Rangers are hoping to take Cummings to Ibrox and are waiting to hear back from Karanka...
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Much as I love him and the goals he scored, I don't think a move back to Hibs would be great for either party.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

I can see Jase at Ibrox by the summer at the latest.
Would be gutted but he's done the business for us vs his boyhood hero's and against the tribute act so wouldn't hold the same grudge I've held against others (Miller/Thomson/Caldwell/Killen amongst others)
I still hope another club in England take a punt on him. Someone like Wigan or Blackburn, a team playing with confidence to get him playing and amongst the goals.
I also think another year at Hibs would have done him the world of good, like SJM.Last edited by GreenNWhiteArmy; 09-01-2018 at 08:26 AM.

He would have benefited from a season in the premiership with us playing against better opposition week in week out and continuing to develop rather than moving on at the first opportunity of better wages but playing very little.
Just look at how much players like Boyle, Bartley and McGeouch have kicked on this season since stepping up from the Championship.
Had he continued banging in the goals for us this season we could easily be talking about him having his pick of clubs to move to this summer and commanding a transfer fee similar to McGinn.
I appreciate the fact that he signed the new contract and didn't leave for nothing once he helped get us promoted and i hope it all works out for him but the fact he is being sent back up here on loan just 6 months after his big move doesn't bode well for his career.

He'd be an idiot to come back up to the SPFL.
He'd get the reject label after bailing half a year into a contract and that's not something I envisage Jason wanting.
Karanka's tactics, whilst boring, actually do work (especially in the Championship) so I reckon JC will drop down into English league 1 on loan to build his stock.

Pep is looking for cover in the striker dept.
When asked if he could replace Jesus, Jase is reported to have said "the question you should ask is whether Jesus can measure up to me."

Was going to say 'he can't play alongside Stokes' but, would that be any great loss at present? Not for me.

That would be interesting if there wasn't about 200 variables involved in such a stat that would have nothing to do with Stokes.

When Stokes was a sub - won 2 lost 1
When Stokes was out - Won 3 drawn 1
The game against Ross County just before christmas is the only league game Stokes has scored in that we have ended up winning.
His goals have earned us draws twice and he has scored in three games that we have lost.Last edited by MyJo; 09-01-2018 at 07:04 PM.

I can't see any way that Jason would be used as a single striker either. Apart from being well down the pecking order they have an obvious candidate in Murphy who is a strong target man who scores goals. Maybe Karanka will provide fresh opportunity but Cummings seems slightly forgotten and a little lost at the moment.

There is fairly recent history of this in Dougie Freedman who while doing a fairly steady and dependable job in poor circumstances was extremely negative in his tactics and team choices. It lost him his job.
