Adam Le Fondre did not seem impressed that he wasn’t brought off the bench against Norwich on Saturday, so much to the extent he is going to review his future.
The 26-year old has only appeared twice in Nigel Adkins’ four games as Reading boss, with only one of those being a place in the starting XI. Alfie has gained a reputation of coming off the bench to score a goal under Brian McDermott, but it appears the former Southampton boss doesn’t feel the same about the forward.
Speaking to the BBC Radio Berkshire, the former Rotherham striker said: ‘I’m like every footballer. I want to start, I want to play games and at this moment I’m not getting anything. If it continues I do not know what will happen. We needed goals and that is what I bring to the table. I want to play every game.’
‘I want to start games but most importantly I want to come on the pitch and affect things and make an impact. It is disappointing from my point of view that when we are pressing so hard I can’t come on the pitch and influence it. I have no idea what happens with me. It’s in the club’s hands. I’ve had a half-decent season by my standards.’
I think the media spotlight for his performances in January has almost brainwashed Alfie into thinking he is better than he thinks he is. Don’t get me wrong, I think he could probably start in the Championship next year, but the Premier League is just a step too far for the striker who was playing in League Two two years ago.
