    Any truth to the rumour re Stockley injured? I seriously hope not.
    According to some on here bad news is good news!

    Didn't JF-C have a couple of games at left wing back? Seem to remember he did ok (unless the mind is playing tricks again).
    He covered there against Fulham at Craven Cottage in our 2-2 draw in the Championship and did quite well.  This has then snowballed on here in terms of his performance and I’ve watched this grow into ‘he was excellent’ and ‘we should play him at LWB’ - last season.  We do this all the time.  Not you personally, but generally.  One good game and I thought we’d found Roberto Carlos’ replacement based on some of the hype I read last year 
    So true ….. anyway back to the manager we’ll be lucky to keep junior Pep at this rate

    Whether he remains a starter or plays from starting off the bench, Garner will decide, but we can really ill afford to lose Stockley to injury. Hope is fit and it’s an incorrect rumour.

    Would not be surprised if Gallen is now on hols, he would have been working all summer - suspect he is overdue a new phone and dependent on his ambitions, wouldn’t surprise me if he was exploring options elsewhere either. Been with us a fair while and can’t be so much fun, negotiating with pennies while others in his field are playing with pounds.

    On the free agents list, combined with what Garner has said since the window closed, would not surprise me if Garner has told T&MS no to freebies and asked them to source fee based reinforcements for January. I may have misinterpreted what Garner was trying to get across, but my take away was that he was expecting transfer fees to be paid, they weren’t and so would like to see these materialise in the next window. Suspect he was sold the job on us being competitive, Pope money was being bandied about internally etc etc

    I'm sure he would have been told what the budget was before he accepted the job. The question is whether anything has changed in regards to what he was told. I strongly suspect it has. Clues are in the way we have gone about our business when I am sure a striker and even a centre back may have been prioritised more over midfielders if funds were as limited as they seem to be.

    Yep, totally as I am interpreting it.

    Obviously Stockley shows in training why he should start, but if it’s our defence he’s training against surely that not an accurate picture?
  • Even if Stockley is shite in training he is still going to start. He’s the only fit senior striker at the club…..that’s a large part of the problem. He has no competition at all (bar Leaburn who is not ready to start many games).

    We desperately need Chuks back to avoid this being another wasted season.

    Looks like we're going to be lining up with a false 9 next game. I suppose in many ways we've already been playing with one.  
  • Where was it mentioned the Stockley is injured? 

    Not saying its wrong or right but curious more than anything.

    Purely someone posted as a rumour, I was explaining the reference to being the only fit striker not continuing the rumour, but have now continued the rumour 😖
  • At this point, I would honestly play Leaburn or Jaiyesimi upfront Saturday if Stockley is out. Jaiyesimi played up tops against us for Swindon I think.

    If Stockley was injured, surely Leaburn is the only one who could replace him upfront.

  • Leaburn is the obvious replacement for Stockley.  Anyone but DJ . How long is Stockley out for ?

    We don't even know if he's actually injured! Never mind how long for!

    With Stockley and Kirk last week it was like playing with 9 men.

    I'd like to see LEaburn given a chance, but wouldnt be totally against seeing JRS as a false 9

    CBT as a 9? Certainly has the pace to unsettle defenders. Lob a few ball over the top?
