I simply don't believe he's injured. Once he's finished with North Korea, Islamic State and the various hurricanes etc can someone please get him back to the important stuff.

As hard as he works and as much as I like him, his lack of tactical discipline leaves us wide open at times in the middle. If Sinclair is the answer, I'm not sure what the question is.

We have players who are much of a muchness and we didn't adequately strengthen in the summer window IMHO. |

Tactics for one like closing down opposing players further up the pitch,settled side and sticking to the same formation so players know each other's game better by keep changing the team and there positions don't help the cause I'm afraid. |

I do find DC's secrecy over injuries rather pointless. I don't really think opposition managers will worry too much if Sincs is out for a further week or month and the same applies to Clarke but for us fans it would be good to know how injured players are progressing. One of DC's pointless habits in my view.

We've really missed him this season the quicker he gets back to give us some bite in midfield the better.
If Partington can't play every game then he should at least be able to play 2 out of three and I'd rather have Sincs play the third game at right back than leads at the moment he hasn't got any strength at all the way he was muscled off it for their third today was pathetic.

I'd suggest going to Wigan and watch what happened. Nobody is closing anybody down in midfield. Lines and Clarke not doing the business. He's not there to be any sort of genius, he's there to break up play, which he does better than anyone else. |

He's not there to be any sort of genius, he's there to break up play, which he does better than anyone else. I know we aren't closing anybody down in midfield, which is why I have been crying out for a defensive midfielder for ages, I just don't think Sinclair is the answer. He played a lot last season and we still conceded the amount that got three sides relegated. Fortunately in the first half of the season we had free scoring Taylor who often masked defensive deficiencies. Sinclair's lack of tactical discipline often leaves massive gaps in midfield which get punished at this level. When he is back fit I would probably play him, but only because we don't have any other choice. He certainly isn't the answer longer term. Failing to sign the defensive midfielder that DC repeatedly spoke about is coming back to bite us on the arse IMHO. |

Don't disagree with the thrust of your argument other than to say, if you think Sincs was the cause of many of the goals conceded, I would suggest you look towards our fullbacks who are both poor and need to be Replaced. We have Partington, who I do rate, but can't get in the team. If he's not fit, why is he on the bench? Then you have Lockyer who is nowhere near playing at league one level, and hasn't since we got back up.Sweeney isnt the player we had last season, so far.
As I've said for some time now, Leadbitter is an athlete trying to be a footballer, and failing miserably. And Browner sadly, is a league two player, and is now being found out far to often.
Then we get to my favourite player, Lines. He can't tackle, can't head a ball, and can't shoot ( as shown again today). Clarke isn't fit, and hasn't been since Charlton.
Also remember, until Lumley came to us, our various keepers were a nightmare, conceding many goals that they shouldn't.
So, while it's easy to blame Sincs, the root causes for our goals against column extend far further than just him.

As much as some people don't rate him, I just feel we play better with him in the team, maybe there is a statto on here that can back me up or refute what I am saying?

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, if we want to progress I think we need to sign 5 or 6 more players. I'd like at least a new centre back, a defensive midfielder, an attacking midfielder, a left winger and a striker in the January window. If we have to move players on in order to bring new ones in, so be it. |
