How do you figure that? Oppo midfielders run past Cousins like he's not there and JBG contributes nothing more than corners straight to goalies and freekicks straight into walls. Having 2 different bodies in their stead at least gets us closer to 11 on the field of play who can muster smthn close to 'nuisance value'. With Wednesday's current form we'll be looking at 3 down by half-time...
Any thinking or justification given to the decision to let Harry Lennon stay at the Gills for another month? This at a time when the squad is transparently thin with no adequate cover at centre half (Sarr = inadequate). HL has been performing consistently at a successful side and would undoubtedly be an improvement. He can't be earning all that much so if the 'justification' is financial then we know that despite all the alleged investment in stadium, training ground, yadda-yadda, Roly is in fact running the club rapidly into the ground to suit some non-footballing end.

Because Cousins will be replaced by Ba and JBG by one of McAleny, Moussa, KAG, Lookman or Bergdich.

We could do with him here for numbers but he wouldn't undoubtedly be an improvement, he'd be another young player throw into a struggling inexperienced team.
Plus Bauer and Diarra are among the better performers. If you play him at LB he'd be out of position when we have Fox, THD and Bergdich available.
Probably best for his career to play regular League 1 football. The issue is more that RD wouldn't pay for a fourth senior CB. Get an injury there and he should bring someone in on loan. His solution will be to recall Lennon who's not yet started even 20 first team games in his career.
We are utterly cattled aren't we. Oh for a few Browns, Balmers, Websters. Even a Dowman or Shaw. And for what ? Some mad Belgian Mr Burns playing to a cock eyed agenda. I hated Fryer, Hill and the Sunley mob but this bloke and his entourage need hanging.
When asked by a journalist about his credentials to run the storied South London club, Fraye stunned the assembled press when he jumped up, grabbed the mic in front of him and began to recite the following lyrics, before dropping the mic and walking off:
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top I never eat a pig 'cause a pig is a cop Or better yet a Terminator, like Arnold Schwarzenegger Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch Get used to one style and you know I might switch It up up and around, then buck, buck you down Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm comin' to get ya, comin' to get ya Spittin' out lyrics homie I'll wet ya I came to get down, I came to get down So get out your seats and jump around

Alan Dugdale would have been an improvement too ;-)
I have just watched the whole nearly 12 minute press day interview. My main conclusion is that Karel Freye has written off the Sheffield Wednesday game. he repeatedly went on about making evaluations which come after the Wednesday game and the two week international break will (presumably) be a chance to get the players fit and conditioned and then he will take it from there.
Lots of talk about working hard and wanting it, put me in mind that bit of a singer with no talent pleading with the X Factor Judges that they will really really work hard because they really really want it, they just want to be given a chance. Having nothing credible to back up a work ethic and a desire to win, such as some kind of talent, some sense of organisation, some sense of purpose, some sense of context is what seems to be lacking. We are clearly going to virtually play a makeshift team....and it was very telling when Karel was contemplating the player availability problem said we will have eleven players on the pitch, and seven substitutes, and we will have that all season. That being about it, fulfil the obligation to list a starting eleven, and list the subs and that will suffice to meet the demands of the competition. It was also telling that when describing the Middlesbrough performance as terrible, he went on to say 'we didn't expect that'. Ahem oh really? So you watch all our games, pour over the statistics, have the data telling you what to expect, pick the team from the eleven plus seven, and surprise surprise it didn't work. Never mind we'll think up a cunning plan during the international break.
A comedy performance. I wonder if KM helped with some management buzz phrases and an instruction to blame the fans in the hope we all behave nicely on Saturday.

Only 0-3? I can't even be that positive!

Nah, pretty important Fraeye mate. The coach of our Football Club is quite important.
