Im surprised John Pickering's record is so bad - I remember him quite fondly and the crowd were all on the pitch chanting his name on the final home game when we were relegated. Different times.

Needed it. Oxford 1 up as well. Go Johnno.

"And here he is with a perfect professional record of one win, with no draws, no defeats" "Damiieeennnn Dynaaaamiiiiitttte Joooooooohn-sssson" 😆

Gudjohnsen must be nowhere near fully fit otherwise he'd surely be starting.

If De Neve was a credible option that would at least start to look like the basis of a line up! I'd prefer it with 2 full backs over Cashin/Miller though.

Must be following Mercer's hot tips!

Not wanting to shoot the messenger but none of that makes any sense to me. You'd think if they wanted Pickering's wages off the wage bill they'd play him as much as possible to showcase him and sell him. Conversely you're never getting significant money for De Neve no matter how many times you play him. However it's less of a burden because his wages are lower.

Yep, complete waste of a wage/squad place.

Who knows? I dont believe Gestede is picking the side though. More conspiracy theories. Why would Gestede favour those particular players over others? He wants them all to do well and increase in value. People don't like the look of the side so they're flying off the handle and saying Gestede's picked it. If they liked the look of it they'd say Johnson had picked it.

Agree with all that. Not sure what he is yet.

I'm as surprised as you. Maybe Johnno sees something in Jorgensen we haven't quite spotted yet. Correct move to drop Ohashi though imo.

Who cares?

Yuk - 4 centre backs, 5 midfielders and a right winger! If he can get a win out of those he must be some sort of genius.

Everyone's worked with a lot of people at some point if they've been in the game a number of years. Even by our standards I'm filing the Coleman link in the "Conspiracy bollux" cabinet until proven otherwise.

Tugay No thanks. Duff, Bellamy, Savage, could live with any of them.

How do we know when he hasnt even been given a chance? Am I mistaken in thinking you said something similar about Pratt before he played?

Did he, did he really? He wasnt that upset with them that he refused to take training Monday morning (allegedly)

You're not wrong. The only consolation is that it's Elliot Jackson who doesn't know his arse from his elbow and the article only says he's "under consideration". Even for us I can't believe there's any credence to that link other than the early betting odds.

No matter what happens, the Ismael days were not halcyon, they were some of the worst, if not the worst, we've ever seen.

Mclaughlin's shite, been impressed with Atcheson 3-5-2 hasnt been working. We've lost two and drawn one with Cashin in the side, not our player, fuck him. Re Tyjon - need to try something different. Not sure if you've noticed but we haven't been scoring any goals. In general need to shake it up and do something different. Absolutely no point carrying on doing the same things Ismael was. However it's only my opinion Im sure we'll actually see a more conservative line up like Tricky's. Doesn't really matter as long as we get the 3 points.

It should though depending on the calibre of whoever is available permanently. (Assuming Johnson can steady the ship) I dont know if they were rushed into selecting Ismael by the result in Lowe's 3rd game - I tend to believe they happened across someone who was "aligned" - but if they were panicked into it, look how badly that turned out.

Thanks both, should be Hedges plus one other obviously. I'd go for either Pickering or Ribeiro. Wouldn't be averse to leaving another out if we thought there were any decent free agents we could land.

When do we have to announce who isnt being registered? Are there one or two spaces to free up?

Nyambe was brilliant when he was here as the RB in a back four, his career fell off a cliff after he left here and he was briefly without a Club but there's no reason to suggest he couldn't have continued in the same vein had he stayed. Saw him on TV playing for Derby as the wing back on the right of a 3-5-2. That doesnt suit him either.
