Oh dear we are really down to the bare bones now -

Gibbs out for the rest of the season. He has a serious Quad injury and is going down to London to see a specialist to see if he is going to need surgery. Normal recovery time is up to a couple of months.

Sargent is probably not going to be fit. He couldn't train today, and we plan to play without him.

DW says we will not complain and never use injuries as an excuse (except the time you used Hwang's injury as an excuse for us losing).

How strange, but Sargent has the same injury as Gibbs - both picked up quad injuries at basically the same time. Well, he went off, and he came on, blah blah.

DW says that we will hopefully have more games coming (playoffs) so players can return and play again.

Sorensen was due back in training, but as usual with Sorensen, it hasn't happened, and he isn't going to be involved tomorrow or in the next game.

Rowe is not ready for PNE and most likely will feature in the Bristol match.

DW sounds defeated already when he says 'The players have played a lot of big games home and away; they competed and won a lot of them. Look, nothing is decided after this game on Saturday; we are in the middle of the race.'

Saying if we don't win, it isn't the end of the world.

On SvH DW says that he needs to impress him in training if he wants to play. He said he is sure his time will come. It might be PNE if it might be the next game. Who knows?

my god, we are down 14 first-team players, and that includes two gk

Gunn

Stacey
Duffy
Gibson
McCallum

McLean
Nunez

Sainz
Barnes
Sara

SvH

Subs

Long - Fassnacht - Welch - Aboh - Montoia - Batth - Fisher - Lima - Riley

That is how I would go.

There is not much else you could do unless you play Barnes on his own, Fassnacht right, and Sara number 10, which is what I think DW will do.

We all know that the subs DW will use will be the two remaining first teamers - he will also put two GKs on the bench for some reason. Maybe he will name a subs bench of - Long - Barden - SvH - Batth -Fisher
 
This shows what a disaster it was to throw away 2 points on Tuesday
Also, cutting the squad so thin and not bringing anyone else in. DW has often said that the team is thin and didn't want it to get smaller over Jan, and BK did precisely that. He only wanted Placheta to go if a replacement was coming in - that didn't happen.
 
You are kind by saying idiots.
I think they are even worse than that.
How are Delia and Michael still here? Mr America must be thinking, 'Who is this silly tart?'

This stupid long-term plan for him to succeed is a joke - isn't it like five years or something? The guy will be 70 when that happens, and what happens at the end? Delia then goes hmmm, no, I don't like you.

Just go, Delia, at the end of the season, please.

Yes. Can they all just eff off and get someone in who actually knows how to fund and run a modern day football club.
 
Our away group went out for several beers and a curry last night
and NCFC was top of the discussion list.
The big question that remains unanswered is who is actually running
the football club ?
Is it owners who do not know what is going on and treat the club like it is 1970 ?
Is it the £ 750 k a year plus bonus Director who is not even needed ?
Is it the Sporting Director who does not speak and wants youth to be the future and yet watches Manager put 2 keepers on bench to limit youth and never brings on youth players who do actually make the bench ?

I am will to give BK the benefit of the doubt at the moment and see if he is waiting to the summer to give DW the bullet. If after the summer it's still the same then screw him and he needs to go after a short stay as he isn't adding anything of value.

I am sure Zoe Ward will move on once BK gets his feet under the table - What does she actually do?
 
Fassnacht joins the injury list

Rowe returns and Sargent okay.

Lima on the bench.

So all DW normal subs he puts on are gone so who will come on today? With Sargent playing with a slight issue I doubt he'll last.

I'm thinking he'll look to Batth and Rowe late on the rest will just be spectators

One chap in our group is convinced DW will be fired whether we go up or not.
I hope he is correct.
