Nice article from Side Sammy on the departure. Michael Doyle: A Rare Beast

Definitely, I'd have him open with burns next test barring a decent knock from denly in the 2nd innings.

Trouble is then we have the Root at 3 debate all over again.

Burns and who?

Who would you go for? Really struggling atm and I imagine Roy or Hales will get a go soon purely down to 1 day form.

Lopes is a great signing for Gills.

Biamou, we have 5 strikers for one position.

IIRC weren't Lincoln desperate for the game to be off due to their suspensions and injuries?

I'm more worried about who we lose in January rather than who we sign. So far so good this year.

Good signing

The truth is there's very little difference between the 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 and the 4-4-1-1. Attacking formations can be redundant anyway as players naturally pick up certain positions. For example, when Bright played on the left against Wimbledon, he spent a lot of time playing centrally. Do we...

Of course there are other factors such as Sterling's form, bringing Shipley back, Burge's return etc. However, it does confirm that the results do not show we are better without Chaplin (even if we might be). Apparently we have only won one game without Sterling, Bayliss and Thomas all playing...

Do the results disagree? Hasn't Chaplin started 10 of our 11 wins? We hit form when he joined so I'd be surprised if the results were better without him.

The plan was to start O'Brien anyway from what I was told. Think that was reflected in pre-season also.

Fair enough I just think JCH offers something more. Hiwula needs to score to be effective but JCH contributes a bit of physicality. He did well in a cameo at Wycombe and totally transformed us at Scunthorpe.

Fair enough and I probably would include them if they were ours. I think Thomas could do with a rest tbh he's not as lively as he was towards the end of last year.

Are they likely to score?

I agree, just looking at next year and sterling won't be here.

With any luck! In all seriousness though, I don't think I've left out anyone who is likely to score. Possibly Hiwula but he missed two sitters on Saturday and is not a winger.

The Burge thing wasn't a fall out it was just that O'Brien was preferred and first choice going into the season. That has changed since.
