JB intimated in his interview that some players weren’t going to be involved in the run in. Who do you think he was referring to? Got to be Ehmer for one, the defenders version of Stefan Payne. JVS isn’t good enough for L2 let alone L1. Not convinced by George Williams either, Kilgore has a mistake or two in him but still young so going to make mistakes. Other than that, we are so thin on the ground I can’t see who he can drop! Who replaces the above? Martinez potentially for Ehmer? Cant see Jed Ward getting the nod over JVS as back up to Day. Can’t see we can mix it up much. JB rates Hanlan and Westbrooke so they will stay in the squad. Ayunga is doing OK, Mecca is doing Ok, JB seems to like Upson. Baldwin is probably about as good as we have, Leahy on the whole Ok.
So how does he mix it up?!

There is no harm in giving the likes of Otzumer, Daley, Tutonda, Walker etc a start. Even Little if you want to play a back four. Anssi is back in training so hopefully we will see him back soon. Hanlan is getting worse every week. I cant remember the last time he scored. I think Ehmer is done, although getting rid of him and other players under contract in the summer wont be easy. A big problem is loosing good players like Rodman and Nicholson but even the form of other players have dropped. McCormick has been a shadow of himself since his sending off the other week.

Nobody probably? Read the full interview, he suggests he's told the players to go home this weekend and come back in Monday and tell him if they still want to help him climb Everest, those that don't will be left out. What that pro footballer is going to be stupid enough to say they don't on Monday morning?

Wonder if he’s related to Elliott Bennett at Blackburn, or Kyle Bennett that we had and is now on loan at Grimsby until his contract with us expires? NB: fun Gaschat fact - Kyle earns more weekly than David Beckham did in his prime

NB: fun Gaschat fact - Kyle earns more weekly than David Beckham did in his prime Ah the very same Kyle Bennett who has been stealing a living on a rumoured £4k/week since he joined us and has been doing the same on loan but injured and not playing at Grimsby for many weeks.

This is where football finances has me scratching my head.... Hypothetically, If you buy an adult season ticket in the north terrace for 14 years, you have paid Bennett's wages for one week!

Interesting that we ended that match with Williams RCB Baldwin CB and Tutonda LCB
Leahy and Hare as WB
Macca And Ozzy CM
Daly As CAM
The Ayunga and Hanlan up top.
Possibly couldn’t have had any more attacking minded players on

I think JAB was emotionally responding to a question, and in the cold light of the day he will realise there's very little he can do.
With injury and individual error, his (and any manager in his place) hands are tied. We are what we are.
Unless JAB is bold and revolutionary turns to youth or untried players, it might be a coup de grace gamble too far (remember the erroneous inclusion of Ben Liddle by PT, anyone?).
We all have our preferences, so we can all speculate, but I think some way has to go to his formation set up.
On a side note.....was the the first time since Brian Gayle we have substituted a fit defender without injury and not changing formation or tactics?

When you put it like that , or any way you put it, its obscene isn't it? and the higher up the pyramid you go the more irrational it gets!

Ah yes but was that the week he played well or one of the twenty odd weeks he didn’t perform?

There’s a fine balance to be had between shipping out the dross and destroying any tiny element of confidence left. I have no idea what’s happened to Ehmer, I really thought he would be the answer to our defensive problems but he has been woeful. I wonder if he didn’t want to come but financially it was too good an offer to turn down. Poor on the ball, defensively naive and not what I would call a leader! Well end up with a similar team for the Swindon game and lose in my opinion. I can see no positives unfortunately. Due to the congested nature of the season now it’s ruining my whole week not just weekends....!

Let’s wait and see....
