With regards to rotation problems. I don't see that at all. No point rotating our goalie, back four, middle two and Billy Kee. They need to perform consistently like they usually do. We just need the others: Boco, Clark, O'Sullivan, Shay, Sean, GTF to be giving us the creativity and cutting edge. These sorts of players are less consistent - so keep them motivated and hungry. Coleman does seem to rotate these players and I think it's starting to work to be honest.

We did lose some class players last season but Windass and Crooks rarely played together, we've got a better defence so in theory shouldn't need as many goals.

If I'm honest my main concern is what happens when the transfer window opens. Beckles and the Don are in great demand by Championship clubs - what happens if some decent money is offered for them. If we are mid-table at that point would you write off this season and sell them?

If some decent money comes in it will make a ******* change. Mid-table in Jan would be great also.

Thats what i understand to be the dons position until Jan?

"Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity in the penalty area is no longer a straight red card - unless the offence is holding, pulling or pushing; there's no attempt to play or no possibility of making a challenge; or it's an offence which is punishable by a red card, no matter where on the pitch it happens - violent conduct, for example."

Surely unless he resigns he won't play for us again

Lord Didsbury · 23-11-2016, 23:10

Come on, keep up there at the back. The Don is with us until the end of the season! Hurrah.

apart from crooks and windass going the problem this season for me is that the players seem to take it in turns to have off days. every game 2 or 3 seem to have off days then play well then another few don,t click. last season they rarely had an off day. when we get it together like at bradford we can beat anyone in this league home or away. its consistancy what,s needed not chopping and changing the side.

I can agree about consistency is needed, but a couple to me have NEVER been consistent enough simple fact,

Hughes has been successful and the card has been overturned demonstrating once again we have been sh1t on from a great height, must be related to Kettle that swine.

AccyMad · 24-11-2016, 15:37

Good news that the card's been overturned but unfortunately the fact that it went a long way towards us losing points can't be altered - & you can bet your bottom dollar Mr.Clark won't be facing any questions about the incident

Raises the question about whether Referees should be subject to disciplinary action for incompetence and for denying clubs points, (and extra revenue in cup matches), and if they should therefore receive bans, get fines etc!

Who'd be a referee eh?

No chance; it's more likely they'll impose a fine on us for criticizing the Ref's

one of em you,re thinking about has actually played better in some games this season its the ones who normally play well seem to be taking it in turns to have off days. for a start brown had a nightmare at hartlepools tuesday night and he,s one i like to see in the side plus shay seemed to be doing gray impersonations all night.

cashman · 26-11-2016, 08:49

Both, i'm thinking about play very well in odd games, and i say so at the time, but for me consistency,comprises of more good than poor, and they fail miserably on that score.imho
