1/ Osborne HAS to play, and thank goodness that next Saturday he surely will. He looks a real physical presence with a bit of pace and hopefully can be an improvement

2/ DJ surely HAS to play in place of Kelly now, Kelly has done sodall and DJ has at least looked half decent in his cameo roles.

3/we need to stop with the pissing hoofball. We don't have the players to play it BUT we do look better when we get it down ffs.

4/ when the hell js Clifton going to get a chance ffs.also give max Wright 5/6 more games on loan and if he's doing well get him back and give him a bloody chance instead of Dixon!

5/we NEED our injured players back fast! In particular Clements and Asante who would surely improve us

6/ we are crying out for an attacking midfielder who is good on the ball, has a creative spark and end product and could chip in with a few goals. This will split opinion and doubt it would happen anyway BUT a player I always liked and thought would be ideal in the 10 role is Dominic vose. He would be ideal with dembele and DJ out wide. Would at least be a good players to have until Jamey Osborne is back and sam jones firing again



I am not sure Harry Clifton would be the difference but agree he deserves some game time as soon as he is truly fit. Don't hold your breath re Osborne and Asante as it will be ages before they come back. It will be interesting to see if Slade is brave enough to play Vernon and Hooper up front together as one can hold it up and the other is looks better when he receives the ball on the deck.

Apart from a decent striker and possibly another CB we have a reasonable squad when they are all fit I am just not convinced we have a manager that can get them to gel.

Max Wright is a winger and right footed I believe. Clifton is only just coming back from injury after missing all of pre season.

TBF 09, that's not too far away from the best eleven we've got available. The sad thing is that three or four fill me with dread that they're our players never mind being anywhere near our preferred starting line-up..

There is some football in there but if Slade doesnt let them play on the ground they wont see it. Who will get the goals? DJ and Dembele might if the get forward,

We haven't got the players or the tactics. We're badly missing an influential centre midfielder and a goalscorer more than anything. Unless we can sign two or three players before Friday we are going to struggle no matter how Slade wants to line them up IMO. It's a substandard squad playing pathetic hoofball with 10 men every week, and we're going to keep on getting beaten until there are changes.
