Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
Probably an unpopular comment, but i'm not so sure DJ is what people believe he is?

Had a good couple of games when he first joined, but never managed to make the position his own when hes got the chance, and scored 1? in that trophy, and 0 assists?


Not sure "assist" stats are the best stat to use this season (I'd argue in general anyway but that's another matter) with strikers who aren't scoring.

You could lay on chance after chance but if you don't have someone on the end of them to finish them off then you're struggling to get assists.

Same with Osbourne at the back, he's no good.


Maybe swap DJ for Ford and Osborne for Handyside then, that should help a bit...

Quoted from devs
My only saving grace is that this group got us to within 1 or 2pts of the play offs - sorry to sound like Fenty but it is a fact
That being the case can a fresh pair of eyes, fresh voice get them back to at least some sort of competitive level where we are far more ruthless at both ends?

Regarding squad - and a few have mentioned this before - the likes of Summerfield and Dembele have been way over-praised but that's only because we have so little to cling on to with this squad

In the whole scheme of things Summerfield is hard working but bang average and Dembele has been poor for weeks (still learning his trade).

they had jones knocking in the odd goal then - he isnt available now the board have sold him.
they had an on form dembele who was utterly uknown to the opposition early season - hes now badly out of form (understandable at this stage of his career) and oppo are aware of his abilities, how to counter etc i guess
i think they were literally our only creative threat and thats gone now.

Why cant people get it into their heads that it isn't the second bottom's number of points we need, but the third

Oh Grimsby Grimsby

You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby

We were only goal difference off the play-offs after we won our last game v Forest Green.

intercourse me that shows how much we've declined. We were on a record of 9 wins 5 draws 7 losses at that point. Now I believe we're on 9 wins 9 draws 18 losses.
