Jackson can't be fit or he'd be included wouldn't he?

An actual reserve game that might actually take place, with actual reserve players? There's a novelty.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Jackson can't be fit or he'd be included wouldn't he?

And if he's still not fit then he's barely figured in this vital run-in, along with the crocked for the season Vernam. How does the loan system work again? Can we not bring in an emergency loan player in to replace current loan players who won't figure again this season and have had their loans effectively canceled?

Hopefully Dembele can begin to work his way back with thus run out and show MJ what he can potentially do. McAlister in there too but....pffftt. (Twilight Zone music begins in background)

Without speculating i am wondering whether he is 80% fit and MJ doesn`t want to risk aggravating the injury and would rather have a 90% fit and available for Saturday although i would say there`s more chance of and 80% fit Jackson scoring than a 110% fit Matt...

Emergency loans will only be allowed in a proper emergency, like having no fit keeper. We can't say we have an emergency, when we have enough players to put out two teams with subs.

It's telling that we have so many injuries at the club at the same time and a good portion of them are the loanees. I'm wondering how many injuries there would be if we were fighting for promotion. Promotion chasing sides seem to manage to put out virtually the same 11 every game. Always struck me as odd did that.

What if we just send them a print-out of our form in our last 18 games? :o

I thought that was the case, but yeah, it's been the oddest season all round. Rubbish strikers fit and playing/failing, and 3 young loan strikers who all go out on loan presumably to get fitter end all up injured at the same time...there's no end to this seasons little twists.

As if they've actually used strong as an adjective here  ;D ;D ;D

Wish we had a strong main side.

The heading " strong reserve side "  made me laugh, ;D ;D

How can we have a strong reserve side if the 1st team is so poor ?

It looks better than the first team...

Quoted from Orange_Sauce

It looks better than the first team...

With the words Hooper and Kelly in?

Quoted from Orange_Sauce

If they score then they are.. ::)

I'd have Hooper over Matt - I think Hooper actually has some ability, he just needs to be arsed to show it.

He's scored one less goal than Matt, which is pretty damning.

Yeah Hooper, having played much much less than Matt, only has one less goal than him.

Hooper strikes me, in the little i've seen of him, as more of a goalscorer than most of our other strikers. More likely to finish a chance in and around the box than others.

You should have gone to specsavers bud.

Quoted from 1mickylyons

You should have gone to specsavers bud.

Please tell me which one of other strikers who you'd rather a chance to fall to in the box?

That's all i meant, not saying he's prolific or is a great player, but more of a finisher than what we've got.

(aside from probably Jackson, who's barely played so i forgot about him)

Hooper and Kelly are still on the subs bench, even with the reserves. Two great signings from Russ.

isn't Sawyer a defender?

midfielder i thought

Hooper has started 7 league games and scored 3.

Matt has started 20 league games and scored 3.

Wilks makes it 1-0...

Quoted from sam gy

Hooper has started 7 league games and scored 3.

Matt has started 20 league games and scored 3.

Can only remember Hooper getting 2 league goals.

If i remember correct, his first goal was the pontoon end and was a very good strike tbf to the lad

How do you get coverage? I’m going round in circles on the website and can’t find the updates?

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God

Wilks makes it 1-0...

Quick , sub him now , save him for saturday. We don't want someone who know where the goal is to get injured. ;)

Town now 3-0 up

Dj and Dembele from the spot adding to Wilks' strike

1 vs Wycombe, 1 vs Colchester, Pen vs Cambridge.

Never doubted them!

Dembele penalty...is this a small step to getting the kids confidence back I wonder.

That's Wilks ,DJ and Dembele playing at Coventry then. :)

Wasn't Slade sent to Coventry in his career

Quoted from grimsby pete

That's Wilks ,DJ and Dembele playing at Coventry then. :)

I hope so.

Wilks preferred position is a striker, but he was very impressive on the wing against Cheltenham.

Either way, get him in the starting 11, with DJ & Dembele, and Mcsheffrey, and all off a sudden, we have some trickery and threat on the pitch

Quoted from grimsby pete

That's Wilks ,DJ and Dembele playing at Coventry then. :)

Easy now, why go with youthful energy and attacking flair when you have the turgid mediocrity of unmotivated senior pros in the dying embers of their career?

finished 4-0, with Wilks getting another in second half

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Jackson can't be fit or he'd be included wouldn't he?

Think he tweeted that he was back training this week.

Any information on  Macalister, did he play full 90 minutes and how did he perform.

Quoted from Gaffer58

Mrs McAllister was quite satisfied  :)

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Mrs McAllister was quite satisfied  :)

Is she picking the team now?

Quoted from Gaffer58

They had to bring her down to Cheapside to show MJ which one Sean was , as no other member of staff could remember.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Mrs McAllister was quite satisfied  :)

Well that's put the question of whether McAllister can still perform to bed  ;)

Quoted from ginnywings

Yep, two players with another year on their contract can't even get a game for the stiffs. Great work Slade & Wilko.

Wilks dembele dj and mcallister all have to start on saturday.

I get a feeling Hooper might be involved on Saturday, and IMO, i wouldn't be too dissapointed with that, he hasn't had a fair shot at it

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God

I think he is the most talented of the three.  But he is also by far the laziest. Now if MJ can get Hoopers head right !!!

If fit Wilks should get a game. I think Mills should play he has energy and passion for the cause. We desperately need Jackson fit for the important home games, likewise Summerfield.
