Not sure how you get Forss, Mcatee, Gale and Cissoko In there! Could well be half each for Gale and Cissoko.

He scored against Wigan but has started two of the last six league games. In those he was hooked after an hour when we were losing/drawing games we went on to win. Has been limited to 10min cameos since.

I'm not saying he's shit, but if he still has a good goals per min ratio it's only because his minutes have been trending downwards for the past month. 

His mins have dwindled because Dempsey has done well and SS has not picked a ten the last couple of games.

No complaints with that but as i have stated it leaves Burstow isolated.....SS gets paid big bucks to sort it, and sooner rather than later he will have to give Burstow some help

It may also be the case that he's done the hard work and prepared the ground so to speak for the subs to make an impact. 

Dalby often comes on, and has a mixed impact, so there are arguments both ways.

I think Forss is a quality player, who will find the space to score goals.

Just need to get it to him at the right times.

 

Whens the draw for the next round??

Yeah, I wasn't making any comment either way on his quality, just that I think it's an important month for him and Cissokho. If they're still on the fringes of things come January, I could see us looking to use what we're spending on their wages elsewhere.

Or we'll make them permanent

I agree , I think he is quality and we need to fit him in somehow . He hit the post twice with wicked shots so is inches from us all saying he needs to start . 

 

 

Tell you what, some decent goals in that game! Should have scored about 5 or 6.

Would go to Harrogate though for the new ground

For us boys who are racking up the grounds, I can’t think of as big a shift in interest between getting Huddersfield at home to Harrogate away 😂

The fastest finger ticket allocation would be a farce.

@Marc505said you can count Harrogate in your 92 as we played there in covid and it's not your fault you couldn't attend but had every intention of doing so.

I've boycotted this shite since U21's have been in it, but principles will be sidelined if we get Harrogate away !!

You can count it if you took a stepladder and stood outside.

He’s putting himself under too much stress that lad.

Not only will @Marc505 be praying for Harrogate, but if we get the gig, he’ll then be stressing that they don’t get relegated as he’ll have to scrap it from his list!……..the madman 😂

Marc Iles (same first name, less hair) is the one that paps on the most about needing to tick Harrogate off and moans about it being at Doncaster during covid.

Yeah nice one mate, we were stuck in front of laptops and unable to travel between counties while you were getting paid for being there.

I don't see how we fail to get to the semi.  The fact that everyone plays weakened sides plays into our hands as our weakened team makes virtually no difference other than ACD.  Others will probably play their strongest team when they are one game from Wembley so its game on then if its away at a decent L1 team.

You’re forgetting that after Tuesday, we don’t need him and he’s become problematic 😂

Could fix that by playing him at centre half?
