Should killa be playing ?

I would say yes but I think the reason he isn’t playing is because of his contract one more game could trigger a clause for more money or better terms that’s my thinking

 

Agree but he should be in the squad ahead of NKP

 

The fact that we can only put one striker on the bench, and a 20 year old loanee with around 50 senior appearances and fewer than 20 goals is more concerning than whether or not Kilgallon should play.

 

Either. Have you seen the defending for Southend's Goals today.

 

O'Connor has been good so far and McGowan has been decent in his City career to date. I'll give it more than a game myself, especially when Kilgallon himself is prone to the odd mistake. Our fans always think that players miraculously improve when they are out of the team.

 

If the club are not going to play him then put him in charge of the team over Collins, Would do a far better job than the 3 stooges

 

The longer this bad run continues and MC says he will make changes but still doesn't play Killa then it's confirmed there's a problem and it's NOT that he is down the pecking order,he isn't in the pecking order.

This could be a replay of the Hendrie post Yeovil scenario.If Killa is getting a raw deal the players could side with him.

 

The difference is most of the players are new so don’t have any alligence with killa

 

for me I'd move McGowan to right back and put killa in alongside O'Connor. That would be the plain obvious thing to do to solidify the back 4, but the ostrich will bury his head in the sand and still think that NKP is a better defender...

 

He's been training well according to MC and players soon bond hence the quotes we hear from players even at this early stage.I reckon there will be respect for him from the other players and depending on what the real issue is,it could cause dissent and there could be a feeling among the new players that this "big club" is not a happy one.

I don't agree with referring to MC as "Micky". It doesn't define the gap between players and coach / manager.

 

I got Football Manager and simulated our season so far if Killa had been selected and we'd been playing 4-4-2.

The results are in...

Shrewsbury (A) W2-0
Barnsley (H) W2-0
Macclesfield (A) W6-0
Southend (A) W3-0

No more evidence is needed.

I'm going to restart it now and update club info so we have British ownership, I'll post the outcome later.

 

Send these results to the FA...see if we can have the points awarded and moved into the next round of the cup. I feel sure they'll oblige on such compelling evidence

 

Have you been fiddling with the data by any chance?

 

That was someone else’s thinking on Twitter about a week ago.

 

More platitudes from MC in T & A “Somebody who’s got the kind of CV and the stature of Matt Kilgallon will always come into your thinking". Well why isn't he thinking a bit harder.

 

If Killa is fit, he would be first name on team sheet for tomorrow.
Still not buying Collins explanation as to why not even in squads. Just doesn't make sense.

 

He won't be playing again, unless the club want to add a 1/3 on his wages. His contract was a wage increase at 50 apps, funnily enough he's stuck on 49...

 

Why would they have done that when he had already played more than half that number when he got his last extension?
