He had fallen out with Clough but was still on the bench a fair few times.
Not saying they have fallen out though, who knows.
Given Sadlerās ālove inā with Matt that leaves one striker berth. I donāt like the fact that we are giving more game time to a player we donāt own over a player we do who we chased hard to sign. Whatever it is needs sorting urgently. If only Sadler was subjected to a proper interview rather than these soft interviews the club spout out

It will either be a brave decision again this week or make last week look like a one off so far.
Aah that tough interview question where they ask āwill you play the player the fans love or will you play the side you think best gives us a chance to win?ā
Love how Sky sports and google seem to have us lined up again!!
Guessing it is more like:
Evans
Priest, DD, Dave
Foulkes, Oisin, Hutch, Stirk, Allen
Draper, Matt
I hope the ārumoursā about DJ are nothing and that other factors, such as the heat, game plan etc are more a reason why he isnāt starting. Would certainly like to see him on after 60 mins and Oteh too so we can stretch a tiring defence in the heat today.
Be interesting to see who comes on as sub if goals are needed. If no DJ than I think we can assume that something has gone on behind the scenes
DJ is very problematic if he donāt get is own way hope thereās a real reason why heās benched but I smell a rat
Goals for salford will come down the left, like foulkes but still making to many mistakes.
Did think we would win today now happy to tale a draw. DJ on bench is a crime but we can cheervon the sloth he did have one good header against doncaster.
Could just be a case of donāt change a winning side but it does seem a bit of a strange one considering that he started well enough.Didnāt someone say he complained about being subbed on the hour mark?

DJ do I recall he became father recently and has has a newborn not 2 months old yet mybe a few dads on here can recall not an easy time first few months 
just a suggestion
That shouldnāt stop him from playing tho
Johnson isnāt bigger than the club . If his attitude isnāt right and heās not trained with full commitment then , Iām fully behind Sadler .
He barely played after Xmas then missed a lot of the pre season stuff due to becoming a father . Fair enough if he hasnāt got all 90 mins when he started .
That said , I hope Sadler is handling it properly - from a distance this is a very tough man management scenario very early on for him .
Everyone knows Johnson improves us but team unity and spirit are the most important factor and by his actions ( allegedly ) they are being compromised .
Surely Johnson doesnāt want another 6 months twiddling his thumbs on a bench ? Wake up Danny , get back in the team and enjoy scoring goals ā¦
Could also be simply Johnson is a new dad , these things are emotionally and physically tiring . He could be getting little sleep, not training properly, not 100% focussed so just needs a little time for his private life to settle down
Or maybe he does have an attitude issue like closing said ?

Is there any actual true substance with all this DJ stuff or just pathetic people thoughts as always?

Might not be getting a lot of sleep turning up for training knackered
Something needs to be said
Fully fit top scorer and top wage earner benched for the last 2 games. Itās ludicrous

Not to be surprised by the lineup, not to be surprised. I know it can be a tough game, but maybe the final result will be surprising too.
Draw it means, draw.
Probably under instruction not to ask the question
Seriously having a child dont stop you working, when i had my lads had to back in work 2 days latter. I know i sound old fashioned but i want to see our best players on the pitch. Im on i follow ground looks very sparse with fans.
