Lennel John-Lewis.

Quoted from TAGG

How strange. In the pub after the mighty Dover game my mate said "what's the betting LJL comes up with a mystery injury in the next game because PH not got the bottle to admit he's excrement and lose face by dropping him"

If you actually read the article, it says that LJL has been playing with a stomach complaint because we didn't have any other options. In the article Hurst says that they hope to resolve the problem this week so he is fully fit and available for selection for the weekend.

I'd hope that Hurst wasn't weak enough that he needed to make up some sort of a smokescreen for dropping a player, especially one who has carried our only threat this season - (though his finishing could have been better on one or two occasions).

For a tough away game, I don't think any of our other striking options can offer as much to the team as LJL, other than perhaps Pittman who has the strength lacking in the other forwards. However, I wouldn't want to gamble on Pittman's fitness as the last time he played 90 minutes was over a year ago.

i think Lenny will start, not sure quite how fit pittman is and whether he will last 90 minutes so i imagine we will see a combination of the three of them over the 90 minutes at the weekend. I liked the look of pittman and Lenny playing together but i think that Pittman is the only striker we have who is physical enough to play without Lenny and partner someone else which will be a good option.

Anyone think I'm totally nuts?  What about LJL in a 5 man midfield alongside Disley and Brown?

I suggested this towards the end of last season (LJL as the new Mike Hickman) but people on here
told me I was totally nuts. Welcome to the madhouse!

LJL is the only player who constantly has chances to score, he will get some soon. Connel has worried the residents of Park St and Manchester St more than the opposition goal.
BTW no-one has mentioned LJL's bambi moment went put almost clean through.

Of course hurst had other options! I'd call it getting a loan player in

He will obviously get the odd one or two goals, being a centre forward and all that.

But he wont get anywhere enough get us promotion, and surely that is the whole point?

Is this not why we have 4 strikers, why should all the responsibility and blame for lack of goals fall to him.

Because he's the only one who doesn't get dropped?

Well only because he is the current first choice centre forward.

Nothing personal against him, I wish and hope he could score 30 goals a season but weve seen enough of him now to know that isn't going to happen.

If we were scoring shedloads and he was making a lot then I would say fair enough. I just don't think we can afford a non scoring centre forward but I also admit we are making so few chances it is difficult for all our strikers, but he is the worst finisher unfortunately.

Don't worry oldun...

If the fishy player ratings have him top (least when I looked !) , he must have had a stinker.  

He would have had a higher rating if arryarryarry hadn't given him a big fat zero.
