No more strikers, although I did read something somewhere about Anderson being made permanent. Make of that what you will.

Yep. He's not quite the full ticket yet but the sort of player we could develop and sell on

GK to replace Vigs if he goes Cover/upgrade in CDM
Attacking wise we're pretty well stocked but need to keep Elsnik fit.

Right call to recall Smith, with Dunne one away from a booking need a player in there to replace him, or give bite to the midfield.

Tom Smith and Brophy have been recalled
Both been playing well for Bath and Orient respectively, Orient fans have enjoyed Brophy with his pace down the left according to their forum, hes been a highlight of a crap season for them so far. We are obviously very short of bodies so it makes sense.

Not exactly a surprise. I'd forgotten that Brophy was still ours, I watched one of his early games on BT for Orient, and he was terrible. Dare say that the couple of months more work with Embers will have probably finished any prospects he had of making it as a league player.

Some good comments about Brophy on the O's forum, still seems like he struggles with the final ball though. Brophy - 7 - Best player on the pitch. Pace to burn and can beat a man. As mentioned by others, his final ball is a bit lacking.
I like Brophy - it makes a change to see someone running at the opposition's defence and creating uncertainty. Yes his final delivery/decision making isn't always the best - but if it was he would be playing at a higher level.
Brophy out wide is an absolute must, we don't have any other wingers with the engine that he's got.
Brophy- 7: MOTM. Probably a 6 first half, 8 second. Roasted their right back time and time again and was a constant threat.
brophy not close to league standard yet ,very good once on the ball struggles with first touch. l think he's dropped his keys on the pitch seems as if he's looking for them never looks up , spends a lot of time apologising ...
Brophy caused them lots of problems.
Brophy was my man of the match , he was a nuisance all game , just a shame about his decision making at the death.
Brophy was a threat all afternoon and will be at this level
This league isn't complicated and watching Brophy skip around the Dover defenders at will it defies belief why we've been playing such an over-technical system.
Got to put Brophy down a mark to 6 because of his decision making, he was tearing them apart at times but more often than not didn't do what was required afterwards.
Brophy - 7 - Our best player going forward by a mile, can go past people like they aren't there. Unfortunately he isn't a left back,
Still feel we can get goals but should be going 4-4-2 to get Brophy forward who is one of the few players that looks like he could make something happen.
really like Brophy but I think it's pretty clear he's a wide midfielder/ winger than defender.
Brophy was a lone ranger tonight but with absolutely no show from any of the supporting cast.
Brophy would be my first pick. He was outstanding on Saturday.
Brophy coming on did make a big impact - played as a true winger.

Think that pretty much sums up what we've seen. With some players it's attitude that is the problem, but his attitude is OK, he's just not quite good enough. It's a shame because I had hopes he might come good.

Think Dunne is OK now. Yellows have been wiped after the last game according to Flitcroft.

Someone will get a tackle on Sat, let's hope he doesn't get carried away and go full McDermott v Barnet.

Yep - could have done with Smith alongside him to close out the game on Tuesday.
