    Cheers boss.

    There you go boss, I set up a goal, won us the ball back to get us a corner for the first, caused the Rochdale defence all sorts of problems and in the 24 minutes I was on the pitch we scored 5 goals, resulting in our biggest win of the season.

    Yeah, whatever, we're releasing you.

    Makes absolutely no sense at all does it. Lee Johnson has made himself look a right tit.

    He also has with the lalcovic/Jennings choice. One getsmin the squad every week the other doesnt. Which does he keep? The one who he's ignored.

    In other news I only watch sky sports on sky and nothing else at all but have them full package. I've called today to scrapcthe sky sports bundle but obviously ive kept the Asian network. I'm not daft

    Bizarre - really wanted to see him get a go this season. Pretty annoyed with that one

    Or maybe it went like this

    Rhys, I have already told you that you are not being retained but I am willing to give you one last opportunity to showcase yourself in a league one arena. How do you feel about that?

    DOUBT WE WILL NEVER KNOW

    LJs only been here two minutes and already made double figures worth of strange decisions. Sincerely hope he knows better than we do what he's doing or we will need a new manager before christmas.

    I'm disappointed with the Oates release too. I can only assume LJ has better forwards lined up.

    Oates will be the next Jon Parkin - think hel go on and do well elsewhere. Shabby hes not even been given a proper chance - he looked a lot better than Maris!

    To be fair, I think he'll have seen more than enough in training before the game on Sunday to make up his mind. I'd have been more frustrated if he didn't rate him before & then decided to keep him based on 20 minutes in the last game.

    Yep agree with that. If he's picking players to keep on what, whilst fun to embarrass Keith, was little more than a friendly against 10 demoralised ***** players, I would be extremely worried.

    Good on him letting Reece show what he can do though. Should help him get a new club in L1 or L2. If we have a couple of new strikers lined up and winnall already here best to get him somewhere to play games.

    Also Jennings contract will be very expensive to pay off, which we legally have to do if we were to transfer list him. Either way we are paying his full contract for the next year (unless he requests a transfer). So LJ may have thought **** it lets see if we can unlock desire and potential to rip this league a new one. Something which Lalkovic doesn't possess despite be a solid pro and seemingly nice guy.

    A bit mischievous that Jay. I'm sure it was never as simple as 'play well in this game and you've got a contract'.

    "Listen gaffer, thanks for the years contract offer, but I really need some game time now and if you cant offer me much more it might be better if I move on, just like Reuben and Danny did"

    But lalcovic is ***** and not a patch on a fully fit and interested jennings. Maybe LJ had a chat with Jennings and we will see the player we know he can be next season.

    Ive seen enough of Jennings in his first season to say Give him a chance, ive seen nowt from lalcovic to make me think we should keep him

    Jennings will have to put the effort in this year he's going to be playing for another contract here or for another team to take any interest in him.

    Why is it ,just because a player comes through the academy and into the first team,we automatically think he's gonna be good enough? Hes been shown the door and theres obviously a reason why,so see ya rhys and let johnson build a team of quality for next season

    Speculative at best.

    Oates was getting a bit of game time under Wilson, but hasn't had much if any under LJ, with Maris getting the nod in front of him in the last two games of the season. As much as we played some good stuff in that last 25 minutes lets not get carried away with who we were playing and the tempo of the game.

    I'm a touch disappointed to see him go as I thought he showed a bit of promise, but perhaps LJ thinks he has a better front four lined up, that Maris is better, and also more versatile.
