    I’d like him for another season, even if it’s another loan. …

    … especially if we don’t go up.

    I don't think Isidor works hard enough off the ball to be a winger in an RLB team

    If Jobe is out then i'd bring Hjelde in at left back, move Hume back to right back and Browne into midfield. We will need to be careful that we don't get overrun in midfield without him.

    Annoyed me that. Be inclined to give him pre season to get fit. If he’s still naff he has to go

    Go now. Had a full season to get fit. Hasn't started a game. Not good enough. We had the warning from other clubs.

    Every time I go there I wonder what life is like living in a place with no hills. Driving through past Kings Lynn....it's featureless!

    Don't disagree,but I remember when he came on at Watford...he was buzzing,looked fit and as if he could make a contribution for us,he had a decent 20 mins or so. Sadly,not to be.

    Think he has little choice tonight so he will play. It's one of the reasons why I wanted him to get more parts of games before being asked to play from the off

    Just putting 2+2 together from bits and bobs people have mentioned to me.

    It depends on whether he risks Hume or, more likely, can persuade him to miss a game.

    Then, if he rests Jobe, Browne would go to right back with Enzo in the middle. Aleksic would play wide left because he wouldn’t want to tire Mayenda and Isidor, by starting both, and leaving us short after 60 minutes.

    He put Aleksic on ahead of Watson, on Saturday, and I really believe he’d do the same tonight. It’s not knowledge mate, more like half rumour and half guesswork.

    Would love Aleksic to start and force his way into being a regular for the rest of the season.

    Yep - Aleksic has to be ahead of Watson in the pecking order. I've got no problems with Watson playing if he's needed but Aleksic moves ahead of him.
