Sam Ricketts is doing very well in his first job as manager I always thought he'd do well If he carries on as he's started it won't be long till teams higher up the leagues start taking an interest

It's interesting who past players have turned to when they knew things were out of control Paul Merson went to one of the Arsenal directors, the first person he saw in the car park the day he finally admitted to himself he needed help Tony Adams broke down in his local when the barman saw he was...

He's not far off a return but after having to come off at HT with a niggle in the last U23 game the staff want to make sure he's 100% before he's involved again

At least people are speaking about this now without fear of ridicule It's not that many years since John Gregory was scathing about one of his players admitting he suffered from depression

The PFA actually support Sporting Chance financially and also pay for individual players to go in Every club has a PFA rep but it's hard for any of us to spot depression in a work mate or family member unless they actually admit it themselves Football is the best job in the world when all is...

By coincidence I'm currently reading Tony Adams latest book 'Sober' He says that when he started his Sporting Chance charity 75% of the players who were seeking help were alcoholics Now 75% are addicted to gambling Both of course lead to depression He says family or friends often come to the...

I'm on holiday so missed last night but a good judge who was there reckoned our first eleven would have battered them As soon as you see 11 changes you know whichever players are included it's unlikely to go well Although they are kids the Arse players will have been together as a team for a...

Camwell looked like he could be the next big thing but I think his lifestyle wasn't the best and he lost his way Hopefully he's back on track now

It's possible that Robins asks CWR in advance not to ask about a particular player before the interview starts They are local reporters and probably fans and if the manager asks a favour as he doesn't want to alert future opponents to a possible weakness in one of our players they'd probably go...

He's not quite ready Picked up a slight problem in the last U23 game he played in Although not far away it's doubtful he'll feature tonight More likely another U23 game before he's in a first team squad

It's only a rough outline They do plenty of other stuff too Clubs keep certain information in house for fairly obvious reasons Adi is back at work now His mother had died so he was on compassionate leave

And Jones is not far away from his comeback

JCH was dropped to U23's a few weeks back, did well and got his place back with the first team It's up to Baka

There aint no pleasing some people Chas and Dave had a song about it

Think people will be happy

He had a slight niggle unconnected with his ACL injury There is another U23 game later this week where he may feature if it's cleared up

He may not be involved today Had a slight niggle after the last game unrelated to his ACL injury so he may be given a bit more time There's another U23 game at the end of the week

Maybe there's a reason that some of our players run out of steam in the second half of games Perhaps a few aren't looking after themselves as well as they might?

That's what I heard Not great but far less serious than an ACL

It was the same with McNulty last year until he started scoring regularly Every club has a minority of fans of this type Social media has made it a lot worse
