Rubbish, as I said he's not an automatic here either. And he actually went to Bournemouth and agreed a contract on a higher wage before rejecting the move, so it's not about that either. Tell yourselves whatever you want but I'll keep knocking the bollocks back at you.
Melksham, he's not our captain.
Sorry, he was though right? I'm guessing that was Wilder's decision to change captains? It just seems like for whatever reason the manager and player don't see eye to eye. In one respect it's good that the manager's being backed by his board, flipside is that Constable's a bit of a cult hero and if he gets pushed out........the replacement better work. Those kind of decisions change seasons.
He was, yep. Jake Wright is now, a centre-back. Constable was made captain to calm him down a bit, he used to get loads of yellow cards for descent but the armband made him a bit more responsible and gave him just cause to have constant dialogue with the referee!
I get the feeling that Wilder and Constable aren't exactly best mates, and you're right about any replacement.
For me OF this works if we're not your biggest rivals or in L1 (or above).
The combination of accepting a bid from us and being fellow promotion chasers is baffling. Especially if you don't need the funds or want to sell.
I've no intention if a slagging match, I'm just not as convinced by your clubs actions as you are.
I think the chairman and manager would have disregarded the rival thing and been objective about it. We don't need the money in the way that the Duke was suggesting, but we'll readily take hundreds of thousands of pounds for players. Same for the wanting to sell thing; not in the way the Duke claimed but we're also not desperate to keep him, evidently. If that all makes sense.
Seeing if he's in the squad or not this weekend would give some indication of what the future holds. Surely for you boys OF, with another striker loaned out today and potentially losing Constable, do you think the club was lining the funds up for a bid that now wont happen?
He'll be in the squad. Bench or 11. Yep Smalley has gone to Bradford on loan, we'd have definitely have been lining something up had both gone through - an imminent quality replacement would have been needed to placate our fans of course.
Who are your top 5?
1. Leven, 2. Clarke (GK), 3. Duberry, 4. Constable, 5. Davis (LB/LM)
