Quoted from Theimperialcoroner


He can d a lot if the supply is not there.
As for LJL, if we had a decent option I'm not sure he'd be starting, we don't, so he does. We must fix these two issues if we are to go up, it looks like we have the players in the squad to do so if fit/not suspended. Three games is not enough to be screaming and shouting, however bad we've been, and in the two games I've seen, we've not been too bad apart from the final third, where due to aforesaid injuries and suspensions, we have not had nearly our first eleven out there. This is not LJLs fault, nor is it Hursts.


Beg to differ. My impression is that if we signed Messi and Ronaldo they would have to alternate for the one spare place alongside LJL.

I'm not sure I agree LJL would be dropped even if we had other options.

I'd actually play LJL on Saturday as I think he is more suited to away games against tougher oppos. He has though got to be on the bench on Monday, otherwise we will be in the same position as last season, where Hurst simply has to stand by both the player and his decision to play him or else he'd look weak and lie he's pandering to the crowd. This stance though could cost him his job, much as it did with AB standing by that shitbag Butler.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Understand your point - not sure I agree. We desperately need to be more prolific otherwise we will not get out of this league and for me LJL is taking the place and the wages of someone who would hopefully be better than a goal every 8 games.

Not in the first 3 games. We didn't have any other strikers fit enough to play, so LJL had to play.

Now Pittman is back, there is another option but, of our 3 fit strikers, you'd have to say drop Connell for the next game as he's not looked anything like scoring as yet. At least LJL is getting into shooting positions and is forcing some saves from the opposition keepers.

Hopefully, Hannah will be back for next week, but I'd still expect to see LJL start in a tough away game for his workrate and presence alone.

We agree on something. Our away record last year was very good and i think LJL was a big part of that. He is ideal for tough away fixtures but not so good when the onus is on us to attack at home against packed defences.

Agreed LJL is ideal for the Gateshead game, who will play alongside him though, unless Hurst goes one up top for a draw, which in these circumstances would have to be OK, IMO a respectable result is necessary to relieve pressure on him and he will see it that way and set up accordingly

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