Jim........ Magilton or Bowen?

Another three games, five more points and while the likelihood of a playoff place is more remote than a Highland Crofter’s Cottage you still couldn’t book a holiday in May with total impunity.

After a gutsy performance and excellent result at ‘The Madeski’ the fare dished up at Portman Road against Burnley was at least more palatable than recent at home.  That was not in a small way due to the introduction of one Giovanni dos Santos.  His substitution halfway through the first half against Watford left us with a front line about as toothless as Shane McGowan after a trip to the dentist.

Now while I can only applaud the efforts to attain the services of such a talent, the timing of the loan deal, which brought the Mexican into the side, leaves me with a feeling of acute frustration.

Assuming that there is no chance of a permanent deal and he will be heading back to Whitehart Lane at the end of a season we’ve all but written off, it has lead me to draw parallels with that iconic game show ‘Bulls eye’ where host Jim Bowen would say to inept dart throwers failing to win the star prize “lets have a look at what you could have won”.

With the sort of quality that ‘Gio’ (as he has already been affectionately christened by the North Stand) brings to the front line, I cant help thinking that his introduction earlier in the season may have won us the speed boat instead of the Microwave.

Do you also think that our own Jamie Peters, given games to build his confidence has similar ability?

Lets put them both up front for the rest of the season and watch them turn Championship defences inside out.
