    I think he would put him on the subs bench IF there was someone in to do a job but sadly there ain’t ............ we took him out over Xmas and look what happened there ............. I just can’t believe folk are waiting to pull him to bits when there are clearly others who have not done there jobs when this poor sod needs a rest ..............no excuses now from the other forwards and to be honest they should be embarrassed that a 30 something year old whose clearly knackered continues to keep them out of the team

    Oliver
    Pereira
    Costello
    Nevers

    not one of them has shown they can step up to the plate and if we do fail it will be down to a fair few players going through the motions :(

    Agree he has to play Cook. I think MH missed an opportunity at Rochdale. He could have brought Cook off after we scored the second, or should certainly have brought him off immediately we scored the 3rd. Not much I know but a little respite for Cookie

    Well not really in terms of fake sponsorship. More like partnership agreements.

    League position wasn't hard but some thought we would walk this year.

    I'll wait until the end of the season. I made my point at he start and hope I would be wrong. I still hope I am.

    Hughes biggest mistake yesterday was bringing on the useless Nevers for Chapman, going like for like, instead of bringing on Derbyshire. He should have gone for it with a 4/3/3 and pushed Banks alongside Cook & Derbyshire. Who Dare Wins Rodney.

    There should be fines for bringing the game into disrepute. I simply can't accept that from two professional teams. There was even two opposition players high fiving and hugging while the ball was being knocked around the back four!

    That said, we all know nothing will happen as the FA is incredibly weak and being league 2 I doubt it will even make mainstream media.

    if the league position wasn’t hard then why did many other the so called other managers who know these lower leagues actually failed ??????

    you can put a spin on it with so called fake sponsorship ( Morrison’s :) ) but you cannot deny that whatever happens this season has been better than the 3 epic fails

    The only good part of that day was the "special" from Bradford, then getting told to stay behind Ringo (police dog) which being a Beatles fan was kinda groovy man.

    Wow!

    WTF?!

    I mean, people always say "nothing to play for", but I've never actually seen two teams actually not playing...

    That's criminal!

    I watched the sped up video and was assuming it was just footage BEFORE the restart?

    If he wants to be brave play Cook and Derbyshire together move Banks to wide left and Walker wide right.
    Jamie did play lots of games as a winger at Hearts

    that’s my gripe over this season the poor use of the loan market :( how many did we bring in on loan in January and have actually contributed nothing

    Costello poor
    Nevers poor
    Bola never looked anything at all

    3 players who have actually contributed nothing and add the wonder kid from Luton and it’s 4 bog standard players

    I was been honest as always , I couldn’t remember. That’s why I said “ I’m struggling”.

    Fair comment however Banks missed him big style with the overlap. Easily forgotten, but took some potency away from the right imho.

    The back up strikers is one area where its fair to say Gent and Hughes have not excelled. Must do a lot better next season (but aren't Oliver and Derbs already contracted?)
