W 6-1 vs Grimsby Town (A) - League Two - Mon 1st Jan, 3pm

I don’t need too so unless DJ is cheating with Sadlers wife there is no valid reason for Sadler to treat him in such a cowardly way. He could be honest with us all but chooses not too.

I think MS sticking to his guns and making a football decision over keeping the fans (who aren’t football professionals) happy, shows he is a really strong character and a very good manager. 6 wins in 5 without DJ shows that.

Sadler seems to prioritise athleticism and energy over anything else. That’s the one string DJT has to his bow from what I’ve seen.

It certainly wouldn’t be my choice, but let’s see how it works.

O, fans’ favourite plays, so what can go wrong. I wonder if they do to Hutch the same, what we did to the opponent’s attacking player in the previous game. Maybe at least a solid def display will be enough.

Maybe that’s it…:joy:

I get that. But Sadler is his second full time boss on the spin that seems to have issues with DJ. I’m sure he left Orient with a bit of poor taste in the mouth too.

Sadler’s a novice but I think Nigel Clough knows his onions and he couldn’t wait to get shut.

What about the previous 19 games when he was a ‘bad manager’

You look at our record with and without DJ this year and the stats are stark. Really stark. Without him we have been automatic promotion good. With him, we’re relegation fodder.

Something’s up.

Is he really ???
To me he’s a manager that’s set his stall out and has a way of playing and the players have to fit into it or they don’t play .
DJ is lazy and doesn’t work for the team , fully behind Matt in his decision

Not interested in accusations of laziness.

Lads a goalscorer. Goals win games.

Sadler signed him.

Moronic.

If your not interested then you don’t understand football - simple

I understand last season he played and scored and won us games and when he went we didn’t win another game for half a season and Matt and Douglas James was both part to blame during that period

Keep the faith… apt

We are guilty of starting slow more often than not it has to be said.

BBC stats said that Grimsby had given away a pelanty??

No penalty in this game.

Your not wrong but that was then

Hutchinson glides across a pitch when he’s in a good place.
