Really don't like Okeeffe on that left hand side. Didn't Clarke say Ferrugia would be in contention for Burton? Hopefully he will be back for Stockport (maybe im getting players mixed up?)
If I was the manager who had just been screwed by an incompetent recruitment team, sporting director and board then I'd be proving a point Smith would be in goal as the sporting director said that he. And the new lad will battle it out for number one so stick him in goal and up front would be Dyer and Rodriguez
Roberts got a 3 game ban and we won’t see Rodrigues for at least a fortnight if we’re lucky. International clearance and work permit to sort.
Glad we’re away on Saturday where the support will be positive. Whether we like it or not we’ve got what we’ve got until the end of the season. Do I like that we haven’t signed at least one out and put striker? Absolutely not! However it won’t stop me going on a Saturday (or a Tuesday) and it’s not with blind faith but whether I’m the only one in Oakwell or not it’s still better than not going.
No reason it can't be done in time for Stockport. I get it once took us an age for Oulare but majority get done within a few days. Hopefully it gets done in time, Maels was done pretty quickly and he came from same division so should meet the same standards or whatever... but you never know with this club ha ha.
Need Connell in that midfield on Saturday. There's a lot of blokes in their who don't fancy tracking midfield runners.
My guess is it won’t be. Then it will take weeks, with DC saying he’s not up to match fitness at this level. Alternatively, he’ll put him straight in and sub him after 20 minutes, to make a point
Connell has to play as he’s the only midfielder we have that will get stuck in. Clarke generally hasn’t trusted Nwakali against the better teams in the division so far but hopefully he will start. I guess with the limited options, the forward line picks itself really.
This makes more sense, cheers mate. Hopefully he will at least be on the bench soon and can have an impact!
I hope our away end show support to our head coach for how little our owners supported him during the transfer window. Get some songs with his name in sung on repeat for five minutes.
I feel for Clem Fandango and DC. They both have my full support. Who knows, he might be our Dike. We'll soon see.
Has it been confirmed he needs a work permit? Wouldnt be allowed to train with the squad if be didnt have a work permit would he?
I saw a subtle change on the official First Team update; DKD has been moved from Midfielders to Forwards (padding the numbers, I presume).
