If someone came in presume Jorgensen would be classed as the other

He just makes it up as he goes along. Not sure why anyone takes anything he says literally.

As others have already pointed out - the "seasonal slump" started in August this season. Will we notice a difference?

Give it a rest for heaven's sake.

The call to arms last season was nothing whatsoever to do with the Club being so badly run we witnessed the man who got us into 7th walk out to join a Club in the relegation zone of course!

That's a real piece of propaganda on behalf of the Club. No context whatsoever. Calling for Pasha/Waggott/Gestede not to attend matches last season "despite the onfield performance". ROFL.

Yeah, in a week's time (if the presser is correct) we'll only have 5 of the "13" out so no excuses whatsoever. Well "officials" etc but not on injuries anyway.

Very good article on the whole - disagree on a few points though 1) Whilst I want Venky's out I wouldn't be happy with well meaning but skint local owners who took us down 2 divisions either 2) Suhail didn't arrive in 2024. He's been around forever and for example was (I was led to believe) solely involved with the hire of Lambert. 3) The Mowbray era was most definitively NOT a golden period - saw the stagnation and inertia whist the owners still retained the last vestiges of any interest that is a large cause of the problems we face today.

Well, does that not in itself indicate a problem behind the scenes or are you trying to suggest this season and the last couple of seasons are entirely par for the course everywhere? I would say playing Kargbo for two games when he had a muscle tear, Cantwell being out for over two months with what was initially described as a "kick on the knee" and Gudjohnssen being potentially ruled out for the season shortly after returning to training and being initially diagnosed as out for 2 weeks are all highly irregular.

So if it's the latter, it's not acceptable is it?

It is of course possible that he could have picked up an entirely separate and unrelated season ending injury on the training pitch whilst working his way back to fitness from the first injury but I wouldn't exactly consider it likely.

Yeah right. Or we misdiagnosed the injury initially causing a more serious injury to occur. (Same thing seems to have happened to Kargbo according the LT report on him reproduced above)

If there's any truth in Mercer's rumour that's not really the main concern is it? How can we diagnose a player as out for 2 weeks one minute and out for the rest of the season 6 days later?

Not doubting Mercer's source but that would be a U turn of epic proportions from the Club. On the 17th of Jan (6 days ago) Ismael was quoted as saying in the LT Gudjohnssen would be in contention to play on the 31st of Jan v Hull City! Questions need to be asked if they've got it that wrong.

"starting"?

Not sure. Was going off something Kidder St said. Personally I dont think it matters in the slightest which match is chosen, just do it and get the ball rolling.

And free tickets for those who went first time isnt it?

Not as effective against absentee owners sat c 4636 miles away.

Again not that he's great but...... From that, it appears we played him twice when he had a serious injury? All these injuries are "bad luck" though of course. 12 weeks is up now so should be back any time as well according to them.

Not that I rate him, but what is supposedly wrong with Kargbo and when is he due back?. Seems to have been out forever.

From memory Three thousand and odd for a League game.

My operative words were "We won't pay them".

If he did that without expressing any form of opinion of his own then not sure that's actionable at all and Gestede's legal advisors will know that. Bit of sabre rattling.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, when I say that imo the Club aren't REALLY bothered at this stage that's not a criticism of the boycott, I view the boycott as a necessary and suitable first step of any protest effort. It's a comment on the Club's lack of good faith. When I see not the usual meaningless soundbites about how committed they supposedly are, but a stellar last week of the transfer window and/or some positive action like VI getting potted, then I'll believe they're rattled. In the meantime with crowds so low anyway Im not expecting miracles out of the boycott but if there is a noticeable reduction in the already pitiful crowds that would be an added bonus. And like I've said if the boycott evolves organically into a collapse in ST sales I think that WILL rattle them greatly.

Nonsense. If a player has a straight choice between a Club at the top or one at the bottom on the same money then obviously he's usually going to choose the one at the top. Otherwise pay them and they will come. The problem is we won't pay them. (The going rate)
