If DJ needs players to go out, best bet would be to send a centre mid at least out on loan, we've gota lot - semedo, mccabe, prutton, coke, lines, corry - we can afford to let at least one go in this position. Hopefully Lines or Corry.

Yeah lines is struggling at this level and mccabe has been almost perfect recently so we should sell him

Sell lines loan out Corry get rid of print ton I know he's done well of late but I'm not a fan that's jus my opinion though

McCabe is going to be a very good player.

Not really a rumour, but a point of view on how much we are likely to spend on strikers, had our board not tried to do Rotherham united over for LeFondre the other year(he was willing to come) he would be playing for us now.. he banged two yesterday for Reading..

I don't think you have to convince us mate, its MM you need to work on!

The hype for this season was built up by Mnadaric who made statements about going straight up. This was obviously designed to increase season ticket sales. It also had the impact of raising expectations of many fans. We struggled last few seasons in this league and without substatntial investment it was likely we would do so again. Some of our fans need to realise trying to build a team on a budget takes time and when they also have a remit to bring in young players and develop them. DJ needs our support and not criticism. I am not trying to say he has not made mistakes everyone does. Think failure to replace TB was the worst one but has now bee rectified. Boothroyd seemed a reasonable punt which failed to work ad terms of loan proved damaging. Taylor and Maguire have also not been what was hoped but ot all signings are succesful.

I agree with most of your comments apart from the maguire one I believe he could be the missing link if given enough time on the pitch

Agree with 2nd poster, OP spot on but I too think Maguire could do a job given a chance.
All the players who go on to become namesť have to start somewhere.
Who would you rather have on the pitch with you Maguire or Sidibe?

Maguire hasn't had enuff game time send sidibe back loan Helan till end of season

Are you suggesting it's okay that MM sold us false hope?

I accept Maguire has not had a great deal of opportuities but believe you have to accept when he has played performance has been below what we had expected. He had shown promise in pre season but can not think of anytime in competative match he has impressed. Pleased you could see other poits made.

MM has been consistent ever since he bought us.
He has always said we going to have a go, we aiming high, and then spent next to nothing on team.
He just tells the fans what they want to hear, a proper businessman.

^^ I'm sorry mate but I can't remember maguire playing 2 games on the trott also goalscorers are that as long as they score does it matter how good they look?

^ I can not remember Maguire scoring.

I am suggesting fans should have been wiser and realised they were listening to a very clever businessman. Also appreciate DJ has not had funds which would make this league comfortable let alone challege for promotion.

^^ I agree but how many minutes has he had and i'm talking minutes because it aren't like he has had as many games as madine, o'grady, sidibe, bothroyd and now even Antonio playe there

Folks keep suggesting which centre forwards should and shouldn't be playing but the when they do get picked they don't score anyway. Madine, Pecnik and Maguire.
I don't think game time is the issue because I would expect any player to want to prove a point when given the opportunity, yet none of them have.

Accept poit not been given a lot of opportunities. Just looked hopeless in those few minutes.

I don't mean to be cynical but would you be happy if we judged your career on minutes rather than weeks or months at the end of the day he deserves a fair crack at the whip

Always take opportunities, but these lads haven't.
Don't be such a drama queen, they HAVE had more than a few 'minutes'.
