What narks me in all this is the apologists who rather than challenge the way we are being run (like a circus if we are honest with nobhead ringmaster) go about defending the way we are operating, if we are going into the game tomorrow with the same squad as we did at Macclesfield (minus Maouche) it's a piss take.

I agree, we are definately showing a lack of ambition by not strengthening, losing Lydon surridge and now Maouche is massive for a threadbare squad where we will probably have to name untried young kids on the bench in what is the most important phase of the season..

Unfortunately, we have very little choice , midfield virtually names itself and with limited options up front, we’ll probably play 4-5-1 formation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's to the detriment of the current squad then I agree, but we don't know that. The strategy seems to be finding players in their early 20s who have the ability, we've seen some do but most struggle at first, not surprising in their first professional game. If we uncover a couple as good as Missile it will be worth it. Of course this lad will now turn out to be shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of players the powers that be want out, Duffus, Coke, Fane, completely frozen out of first team setup, train with the kids and Taylor and Hunt they also want out so unlikely they will start for the first team again. Branger is a favourite and since Bunn gone there is an insistence he plays, apparently he was one of the ones where Bunn stood his ground which ultimately cost him his job. To get Branger in the team, they are keen to play Nepo as a left back. Not sure if owner is back in the country, maybe tomorrow morning in time for the game. Clarke definitely not interested in the managers job. New manager unlikely to be appointed until after the transfer window closes. As as I say, it’s a little bit Chinese whispers so apologies if I’m wrong. Don’t know when my son will see this person again, so I might have to wait for the next instalment! What on earth has Hunt ( and even Taylor ) done wrong. Natural fullbacks yet we persist on shoehorning others into their position - pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what we hear us true, then Nepomuceno probably will be at LB so that Branger can play left wing. If that is the case, PW may well fear for his livelihood of he doesn't comply. Up to now, I've been fairly laid back about team selections as the results (Macclesfield apart) have been ok since Bunn went. However, if the same 11 take the field tomorrow with Hunt, Taylor and Dummigan on the bench then I will be questioning a certain person's sanity, let alone his desire for success.

It’s madness, I don’t totally begrudge him having some say. But to not play hunt and dummigan ahead of Branger is just plain looney! There is no way in hell that he will be ever worth more than them two and surely that has to be the end game ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 You do have to wonder why we have to pick the 3rd best winger at the club at the expense of the best left back. It's a really weird way of running a football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 You would have thought we would play George and Hunt today and then shift them out next week if we lose. The loan of Sefil could also suggest that George is staying although Stott has returned. This is looking very much like a Corney year in that we have 39 points so with the pressure off the team is going to end the transfer window weaker. The return of Surridge would make me think differently but it has to be for today and not next week if he fails to find another place to go.

Hands on Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Branger plays because the owner thinks he will be the better player. I just think having a player forced on the team could explain why they weren't interested at Macclesfield. Let us hope the FA Cup gets them interested again.

It's a really weird way of running a football club. If he has some vested interest in Branger playing, surely that is outweighed by the huge rewards a win would bring. Play the best players in the best formation. No shit fucking Sherlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So what has happened with the left back that we thought was coming in from Forest? Are we keeping him under wraps until the team is announced at 2pm? Or has he just never arrived? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
