We have missed Kossy, hopefully he will make a surprise return.

Never thought I would say this but Hancock should be dropped,but at the same time I have a gut feeling he may bag this weekend.

Open to trying Osborne further forward, but still feel Pringle deserves a start in No.10.

Pringle started at 10 vs Southend and was dire.

The other option of course (which is what we should have done if he wanted to 'show respect' to Stockport - which wouldn't have involved faffing with the back line) - is play a 4141 with Jake sitting in front of the defence doing the mopping up, two number 8s (e.g. Osborne and Pringle) - and doing away with a number 10.

That would be great if Moult was the mobile Moult of a couple of years ago but nowadays sadly he'd be caught out too often. He's been a fabulous servant for the club but needs a younger mobile teammate alongside him. I think marriott was brought in for this role (?)

By the way, I believe that role is the one that Furman has been accustomed to playing.

Sadly I have to agree with the fact that Jake is no longer the player he was. He does get caught out more often these days.
I have nothing but respect for the lad who has served this club very well, but I do feel that nowadays, we do have  more mobile lads who can do that job.

Jake has done a superb job against direct opposition this season. Funnily enough, Torquay away was one of those games where we dealt with everything that was thrown at us. Barnet was very similar a couple of weeks ago and I think Jake was pivotal in that.

Respectfully, I do agree that when we play the more fluid, pressing sides some of the games have passed him by. That's why I'd play both him and Furman, as we did at Dagenham and they controlled the game so well there.

Real shame, never thought he was given a proper chance of a run in the team.

Another thoroughly bizzare signing. Spent pretty much all his time at Alty either injured or on the bench.

Yes. Thanks for your efforts Dean and good luck in the future.
I too didn't think he was given much of a run but that's by the way now.
Is Parky lining up a signing and making space in the squad (and the budget)?

Think he's been treated quite shabbily personnely.

Good luck to him

Ffs surely they could have extended his stay until the end of the season.

Some decisions bewilder me sometimes

One minute we’re praising a bloke because he has signed for us and we’re singing his praises, next thing he is released, without (in my mind) getting a decent chance to show his usefulness.

Jake will be a certainty for tomorrow now.

Good luck Dean, I thought you were a decent player.

It is always possible that he wanted to leave
