Dembele

Scunthorpe are keeping tabs on him .

I don't imagine there would be too many clubs willing to pay money for a young player yet to score a goal and with 1 shot on target in 10 starts. He's only set up one or two goals as well, I believe?

He's certainly got some potential but I struggle to think of his achievements thus far being any sort of a selling point.

Let's hope he stays a bit calmer and puts his next good chance away to get him started for the season.

Quoted from Cloudy

If he is we will at least be able to demand a healthy fee. wonder what we will do with the cash?

Zimmer frames for our defence?

I've got a feeling that once he scores one he'll get a few in the games that follow. One week it'll just click for him - he was the width of a post away from getting one last night remember! Similarly I reckon there'll be a week that he'll be up against an awful full back and will set a couple up in a game too. It's the hope that kills you.

I don't imagine there are too many clubs willing to pay money for most of our players.

Scunthorpe are keeping tabs on every player we have in every transfer window that every happens

He was a bit unlucky last night with his effort that thumped against the post only to rebound straight into the keepers arms. In the second half he regularly took the full back on and won several corners. We just don't seem to make them count. I thought a rest might do him good but he lasted the 90 mins well ad don't forget those around him were not playing too well and not making themselves available to receive the ball from him so had to go it alone most of the time. I would like to see more of DJ as well. I heard Tom is carrying an injury but nothing official has been said. On that subject has Shaun Macallister left the country?

We looked best last night when we had him and dj on each wing, with Summerfield finding them with quick balls. Id like to see more of that Saturday, and less hoofs. I don't even care if we don't have much possessiom, but it'd be nice to see some purpose behind the play.

All this talk about dropping Dembele as if something magical is going to happen on the training ground. A few drills won't make much difference. A bit of support and movement around him on the pitch may help as well as proper service to any one of our players from the back. What about his confidence level if he is dropped? Players are not robots.

To prioritise dropping Dembele is prioritising in the wrong areas. How about getting Karleigh Osbourne and DJ in the team on a regular basis, playing Matt and Jones and also Rose and Summerfield every week to form partnerships, that might help. Getting Mills back in at left back is not ideal but might be worth a try too..

What I find totally baffling is the fact we've got 4 defenders who have all played at a higher level, and yet none of them have the slightest bit of composure to pass the ball.
