It is.
Im not so sure it is Crod, my preference would still be DJ. I find Harrison gives away too many free kicks whilst pressing. We dont seem to be able to maintain the press in the opposition half denying us the opportunity to get the wing backs in the game, as our momentum is lost. Currently I haven’t got anything positive to say about Amanchi, so i will leave it at that
Still backing the boys eho have been so magnificent this season to clock up one of those wins we need.
sadler won’t give dj a start it would be admitting how wrong he’s been.If flash hadn’t have got injured and caused the Lowe loan it would have been Jamma and Flash every week and mid table at best.Sadler has stumbled onto success.
I wouldn’t bet against Daniels and Farq getting starts before DJ, all the as yet unused loans, and Williams. It’d be like dejas vous all over again.
Live in hope though.
Whether DJ starts is a point of discussion, but what I do expect is if we need a goal at home with 15 to go and are creating chances but not finishing, that he is on the pitch otherwise it is pure madness.
Agree with this, not sure if id start him but id certainly be giving him a reasonable amount of time to impact the game if we need him to. The other night we were creating more than we have for a while he needed to come in at 60/65 mins
The Gordon injury didn’t cause the Lowe loan. The Lowe loan was long in the making. MS waited and waited to get him.
I certainly don’t expect DJ to get a start but more than 5 minutes on the pitch might be useful as his scoring rate is by far the best at the club…
Was it Kershaw’s for a home delivery
But did he want him as a starter or back up.
I think he intended to bring him in more slowly. The Gordon injury speeded things up in my view .I think we should remember that Lowe improved rapidly in his time with us. He was a much better player when he left than when he started.
Harrison offers nothing that DJ can’t.
He lacks pace and doesn’t get into great positions, spends most the time on the floor.
What’s the betting Sadler picks the same side as he has for weeks now, everyone can see these guys are knackered, nothing left in the tank.
We need fresh legs and we need them EARLY in the second half, not with five minutes to play, we’re all tired of that!
Three points tomorrow lads, we’ve got some tough games coming up so we need all the points we can muster.
UTS
I don’t think we are likely to see anything too drastic tomorrow, perhaps the odd tweak but it will probably be very similar to Tuesday night I would imagine. I just hope we can win.
Harrison is just Josh Gordon with bigger hair! Personally, I don’t mind if my main striker does naff all for 89 minutes then scores the winning goal, rather than running around like a headless chicken and hardly ever scoring!! DJ, anyone?
Grimsby in form - were out of form (ish).
5 -1 with Brett Angell coming on to score a screamer
Don’t get a job in marketing Mazza
I know what you are trying to say… I think
He is far better than Josh Gordon. He has scored two goals already. His touch is far better and he gets involved in attacks more.
Personally I think part of the problem is, he is being asked to play the Lowe role, and he just isn’t that. He seems to be more of a second striker and not that well suited to playing next to Matt.
DJ is the only real goalscorer we have now though. We really do miss someone who can run in behind and stretch teams.
I like what I see from Harrison so far. He’s played a few nice through balls for runners into the box and seems to have a good football brain. Him feeding off Matt’s scraps isn’t really suited to his game. I think having a DJ type player paired with him who wants to get in goal scoring positions would work nicely. With Jamma looking like he needs a rest, that would be my front two for Saturday, but that isn’t going to happen.
