Recruitment

When looking back a couple of months to some of the high quality footie we played for the odd half a game it is important to remember that these are the same players and they still have that capability in their lockers. I'm hoping IB can find the key and bring it back out to play.

I hope he can, let's hope we get the new manager bounce. Cotterill did it, Lee Johnson is doing it at Sunderland and Ismael at Barnsley plus many others have so why not IB?

Maybe they've got more to work with, not the bunch of bottlers that we've got.

Keep the faith. If we can win the 3 games in hand and beat Sutton then we will be in 2nd place just 3 points behind Sutton.
It's still doable

In order to keep the faith, you had to have it in the first place. I still have hope of course, but never at any point in the season have I thought that we have looked like a promotion side.

But like you Elite, l live in hope.

Reeves for the most part has been pretty awful and I doubt he will ever play in the EFL again. Sam and Rodrigues have shown flashes but that is all. All of the loan players have proven why their parent clubs don't play them perhaps with the exception of Wolfe. Barnett looks like a crock defensively and anyone who has angel wings on the back of their neck I will never take seriously. Miller looks bang average. I could go on but at least 50% of this squad needs to be shed at the end of the season probably more like 75%.

It's a poor situation that Ardley has left us in. Very poor indeed.

And 6th in the league.

You think Wolfe has impressed more than Knowles?

Wolfe hasn't impressed because he has not really had an opportunity to. Ardley gave Knowles a run in the side and would you say he impressed when given the opportunity? I wouldn't. He's certainly up there as the best of the loan players though. We may as well give the new fella a go now. Surely he is fit enough to make the bench and run around for 45 minutes?

[laddo]

Yes I think Knowles overall has impressed, performed better than I imagined when we first signed him.

Hope Knight is on the bench.

I think in Knowles Greg Abbott has certainly landed us with a decent player on loan but he has a lot of developing to do yet. He knows where the goal is though. Wolfe has been unlucky not to get more of a chance and his latest injury must be very frustrating for him. Miller has shown decent moments when used in an attacking role, as has Barnett.

In Knight we have a permanent signing that we've actually paid (a little) money for. I totally understand that they want him to come into the side match fit or as close as possible to it. After all, his reputation is built on pace and running so an unfit Knight may not be capable of doing himself justice.

Miller and Barnett have looked liabilities at times especially Barnett. Barnett has had one effective game and looked poor in all of the rest. Miller a bit better but at best ordinary. Certainly not promotion material.
