    Looking at the fixtures, I think we need to win this one just to keep up with the other 3 who all have quite winnable games.

    We can agree to disagree, O9 has caused 2 red cards with other centre backs trying to lung in to cover his initial mistakes, a couple of pens and a few OGs. Because you kiss the badge and fist pump at times does not make you better.
    If both placed on transfer list tomorrow who would fetch the bigger fee?
    Regardless whoever plays I hope they play well and we get three points.

    Honestly, if they were both the same age I'd imagine they'd fetch around the same price

    Straightforward win and no injuries will do for me, i think we see a le fee assist and a Wilson goal as a minimum.

    O9 has also covered other people's mistakes. I couldn't care less if he kisses the badge or not, I purely judge him on onfield performances and this season he has been better than Ballard. I am a huge Ballard fan, always have been but he's been poor when he's played and has cost us goals/big chances against due to his mistakes

    If Ballard plays as well as he could I would start him, but he is just back from injury and hasn't played well enough with the minutes he's had. O9 has had a few poor games for sure, but he's had a lot more really good performances this season that you seem to be forgetting

    What price someone goes for is totally irrelevant, as contract length, age, potential ability all play a part in how much someone would go for

    I like Ballard but he's no leader and not an inspiration ...

    ... he won't get everyone to dig in at 1-0 down or hack someone down in the 90th minute and take a ban.

    O'Nien is greater than the sum of his parts <laugh>

    Once we are back to full strength squad. Is it time to drop Roberts. Use him as an impact sub?

    The time to drop Roberts is when we have a better player to replace him. Don't think we have just yet.

    Hopefully a regulation win, we can give a rest in the last half hour to a few and give minutes to those that need them.

    Probably jinxed it now

    I disagree with you. Not necessarily on fee or ceiling and probably ability but on this seasons form I very much disagree .
