Or it could be that Dack does not fit JDT's plan A, and Dack might have to except only being part of a plan B system. I am not saying this is true, it is just an idea. Dack may be on the bench quite a bit this coming season.

Or perhaps, as he has left us, we just consign it to history.

It's a spoof.

I would side more with IF rather than WHEN.

Just back from the U21s game against Newcastle, we lost 1-3 to a better organised side. Pike does not look good enough to challenge for the first team. Gent is a full-back, out of his depth at center-half. Batty spent too much time, arguing with the ref. Duncan Ferguson was watching, so was Ash Phillips.

I have just phoned the Rovers, and they say the game is on, 14:00 kick-off.

Slight camouflage sublimation. I didn't see that.

I was thinking exactly the same.

Does anyone know how the Academy got on today, against Blackpool ?

The thing for me is, I don't want just bodies. I want decent players.Magloire is not championship standard, so get rid.

I like the ones from the Glens of Scotland.

As a matter of interest have you got a season ticket ?

And thems his good points

Do you have a problem with being optimistic ?

I got the same replies at the start of last season. A lot of posters were saying we would be in a relegation struggle because we had sold our top scorer. This season the theme is we will be in a relegation struggle because we have lost three reasonable championship level players and two loanees have returned to their club. I don't agree with this theory. PS. I haven't been out in the sun and I certainly don't partake of Tabs. I couldn't give a fuck if you admire my optimism.

Wasn't JRC playing at right-back because Brown was injured and Carter was filling in, but being given a bit of a roasting.

I think JDT has a choice for right-back of Brown or Pike. The other two are not right-backs. This is no-way ideal, but it is what we have at the moment. I still think we will be challenging for the play-offs this season.

But wouldn't he, or any club he wanted to go to, have to pay off his contract. That could prove expensive.

Perhaps JDT wants a right back that has certain qualities, and Nyambe may not have them.

Brown.

At this present time, if JDT wants to play a back four, Lenihan will be replaced by a change of formation. The two center-halves will be Ayala, and Wharton, with Carter as cover.

What, someone who enjoys a bad situation too much ?

I don't see it that way. Have you read the article from the new Welsh bloke who has joined us. I thought he made a very good point about youngsters from the very top clubs, not knowing how to defend when the oposition have the ball, because then have very rarely experienced their team, not having the ball. This is a very important point for a defender.

But if he is playing regular first team football he will be able to get a more lucrative move, than if he is on loan somewhere. I doubt that one of the big teams would play one of their youngsters, if they had a gap to fill, they would just buy a proven player.

The official site has the U18s playing three times on the 30th of July. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so what is the format ?
