So we need to get rid of some unwanted players to sign some wanted players. It's fair to say that we've done a lot of work, but there's a lot more to do Sadly, the current incumbents (Jones is let off) are "responsible" for half of the unwanted players we no longer want....
Just a curious question to pass the time while we wait for players to be sold.
All good teams have a few show stoppers, a small core of players who you’d say “we’re in trouble if he gets injured”. Who are they in our squad now? I can’t really name any, which to me doesn’t bode well.

Well I think that’ll potentially be Mitchell, Berry and Docherty and to be honest it was probably Leaburn we wasn’t doing to bad when he played.

I think that that is Jones' method.
Team over individuals, total greater than the sum of the parts, etc.
That means losing a "key" player doesn't impact as there are no "key" players.
It could mean no flair players who blow hot and cold so a more consistant team but could also mean a consistantly "dull" side that wins "ugly" if it wins at all.

Small would be the one I’d pick out. We don’t really have what he offers anywhere else in the squad. Maybe Berry and Docherty also once they get going
I’d also say that we could have picked out Dobson, May and CBT last season, but the rest of the team was shit. I think this season our squad is stronger overall and that’s why there isn’t clear standouts
I’d look at it differently, how many of our players would be up there with the best in their position in the league? Then I’d say that Small, Berry, Docherty and Godden could all be up there (could count Aneke also), maybe others

I thought @golfaddick was the No. 1 in negativity, but bloody hell @Gisappointed wins it hands down. They want to get rid of at least 2 players who've only just signed for us!! Unbelievable!
I'm prepared to give Berry and Docherty leeway considering I've only seen one once and the other twice. But Coventry, we have had our pants pulled down. 20+ games. Was he ever better tham mediocre in any?
Had to laugh when he dribbled the ball almost the entire length of the box, when a simple touch into 18 yard area would have drawn a penalty. He ended up passing it to their keeper.
I have no affinity with Bexley, who I suspect doesn't watch games, just takes opposing views. If not rating Coventry, Gilly, Jones, Edun, Watson, Docherty is controversial then so be it.

Hardly had our pants down!! There was no fee, and I’d bet we could get rid of him tomorrow if we put him up for sale. i seem to remember plenty digging out Dobson at the start.

Absolutely our number 1 game changer mate! But not sure we ever have or ever will rely on him 🤕

Wasnt the fee around seven figures for Conor Coventry?

No, Cawley confirmed he was free with a significant sell on clause.

Assuming he joined us because we offered better wages than elsewhere I would imagine his stock has gone down rather than up given his lack of impact so far, so I suspect we would have to pay a chunk of his wages to move him on (not that I think we would even consider it). I hope he comes good.

Think Golfie may have a bit of news, someone called Tedious has been rumoured...probably just a bit of wind and guff...🤔

But I'll take 46 ugly wins this season.

You want to get rid of them after the friendly against Wimbledon 🤔
Please stop digging and at least give them to half time against Wigan 😃
