He was ill

What about every other time this season? It has happened basically every time he’s been selected

How's he supposed to build any sort of fitness/understanding when he's in the team one week, then out the next?

He was pretty much an ever present for Aldershot last season - and look at his goal/assist record as a result.

Moore is completely wasting his talent.

He's wasting a lot of players talents, tbh 

He needs a positive result 2day 

I dunner want hear excuses from him

having pace on the flanks doesn't help the back three one ball over the top and heneghan and hall are spectators we need debrah there is no other choice. Smith cant chase back and his distribution is worse than debrahs. smith would be ok if we played a flat back four and hoofed it away but DM wants us to play out from the back with a back three and smith either passes it straight to the opposition or he panics and plays a hospital ball towards ripley. He was terrible all season under ac for the same reason, he can't play football.

He was terrible in league 1. He’s proven at this level
so was Deborah who also can’t play football.

Ive been disappointed with tolaj after a dodgy start he had a couple of games where he started to look decent but all he does now when he comes on is give the ball away.

May be play him in his best position?

Is Stockley injured or dropped? Usually it would be presumed they were injured but with Moore Im not sure 

 

Although he's largely been underwhelming I still think we need to be finding a place for Curtis and using him properly. This is a guy who has performed well at higher levels.

Had a great spell where he was getting assists galore but a bit rusty after that. Same for a lot of this squad I don’t think the 5-6 changes every week is helping anyone. How many games has Tolaj played central though? Not many & last week he was thrown on with 5 mins to go. Needs a run of games like a few of them. There’s definitely a player in there 

You may be right but I can only judge him by what he does when he comes on and paton has looked better I think he just has better control and doesn't get knocked off the ball as easily. Im desperate for both of them to do well and I agree I dont think all these changes helps anyone but if thats what DM does so the players have to adapt.

True mate. They are both desperate for a great game & a goal each that’s for sure

He’ll be injured. No way he drops Stockley out the 18 he at least makes the bench. He was playing through a niggle a couple of weeks back so must have got worse. I think we rely on him far too much so will be interesting to see how we get on today

Dm isnt going to pick him on faith week in week out so he can play himself into form. Thats simply not going to happen he has to earn his place like everyone else and you do that by taking your chance when it comes.

Not sure how he does that when given 5 minutes at the end of a match. Shouldn’t have been left out originally after an excellent start. I thought he looked dangerous on Boxing Day. Worth a start in my option. Needs to be picked consistently

It’s got to the point where im not sure anymore, thats how ridiculous his selections have become. 

No excuse for playing lump it forward today sans Stockley. If we do persist with that today, it will show that either it's a direct instruction from DM or our players are thick as/unwilling to accept responsibility

Injured i believe. Not sure if it was on here or on the socials but they mentioned stockley been carrying a knock and has been in a fair bit of pain for a while now
