Brilliant.

I think McGovern and Easton are history along with a few others - Casal, Pook etc.

[DV]

I expect Wilson has his ideas about them but with no other out and out right winger I still think JPM has a part to play this season.

Whether he'll come in and do a good enough job to give Wilson something to think about is anyones guesses.

In a way i'd be dissapointed if players like Easton, JPM & Aljofree (yes even Aljofree) left because they were good for us when they first arrived but then they were Sturrocks players for Sturrocks system. So maybe they no longer fit in here. All 3 decent on their day.

Although if we could get Greer in, in the summer I wouldnt give a toss about what happened to Aljofree

[santasdead]

agree with DV, wouldnt be dissapointed to see JPM and aljofree go,especially after stockport when aljofree decided to start on the fans, but id like to see easton stay, as we have no solid midfield yet, whenever easton comes on he seems to want to play and want to win the ball inlike many of our midfield players of late, i think keeping him here next season would lead to allen and kanyuka learning how to play the central midfield roll well.

without easton who have we got to "mentor" the new central midfield?



but mcgovern is awful at any form of setplay ive ever seen him play, by all means keep him if we dont keep kanu,but id honestly prefer to see mcnamee and amankwaah on the wings than JPM!

seeing as greer ishere til april,im hopeful we'll have him next season,which is a bonus!

I don't toally agree with JPM not being able to read the game. He certainly spots a pass quicker than alomost anyone else on the pitch, delivering it on the other hand has been the problem. His workrate has been questionable at time this season, but that has improved over recent weeks too.

Don't get me wrong, overall I'm still disappointed by him, but there is something there IF he could find consistency. (all in my opinion, obviously).

JPM and McNamee have suffered due to our Kanu loan coupled with the quest to solid up in midfield. I've no issue with that, it's largely working!  I'm sure there must be something in Reading paying part/all of Kanu's wages if he starts. And you can't disagree the team needed to plug the holes. When we get a solid base we can reintroduce the flair players.

Greer oviously needs to prove his fitness before we even think about signing him up.

especially after stockport when aljofree decided to start on the fans,

Couldn't let this go, and I don't condone it, but he didn't just randomly decide to 'start on the fans'

McGovern has had his chance.

He's wasted countless opportunities in a Swindon shirt. He's never had an extended spell where he looked a good player. He cant motivate himself to play for the shirt. Wilson can see right through him and GOOD RIDDANCE. Wilson hasnt improved the attitude and work rate of this side by accident, he wont accept passengers. People need to accept that McGovern is the player he is, not the player he could have been. He will piss away his career.

Aljofree was a crap captain, and he was a fat bastard when he got injured and hes probably an even fatter old man now. Bye.

Easton is the only one I feel any regret about. He was potentially a really good player, but he has let himself go a bit at Swindon. He seemed happy and relaxed when he left yesterday (shared a joke with JPM). If he has given up then thats sad. But Kanyuka, Peacock and Allen are all above him in the new order.

The workrate, commitment and mentality of the team was abysmal for a whole 9 months and Wilson hasnt started to turn it around by accident. The players who are not fully commited have to be axed.

[Arriba]

why couldn't easton be rejuvenated under wilson? on form he is better than the three mentioned above by spencer.infact he's our best centre mid.kanyuka was pants yesterday, pook would have been better.

[Spencer_White]

He could be, but it doesnt look good does it?

The key to what you have just said is 'on form'. Only Craig Easton can decide that.

Id love to see the Craig Easton we signed from Orient, the one we had up until 12 months ago. Malpas messed up his game. He put in a great shift against Forest in the centre of midfield, so Malpas puts him on the wing the next league game at Crewe. Since then hes not been the same, got to question whether he is as fit as he was before as well. Weve turned a good League 1 player into a mediocre one, very sad. But inevitable when you hire a shit manager.

Hasnt made a matchday squad since Jan 13th v Stockport I think?

[santasdead]

Couldn't let this go, and I don't condone it, but he didn't just randomly decide to 'start on the fans'

This is true, but when you ask for fans to wait outside after the match,just for giving you a bit of criticism its unnaceptable. its part and parcel of the job to be criticised, you dont see prem players threatening a fight with hanson or shearer when MOTD slates players.

He is not a captain,and im pleased hes ijured so jerel has been given the opportunity to captain and be confident that the boss backs him

[DV]

I've never heard Alan Hason or Alan Shearer call any player a fucking prick on match of the day though...

[Arriba]

 verbal abuse isn't a bit of critism.if someone wants to abuse a player they are meant to be supporting and they get a smack in the mouth for it,so be it.

[Spencer_White]

Cant we put this behind us?

Just shows how much better the morale of the fans and the players is now.

I think the fans felt under pressure not to criticise Malpas too much, and instead a lot of the frustration (ie abuse) got deflected on to the players. So exceptional circumstances. Hopefully weve put this behind us.

Just goes to show how destructive a bad manager can be. Know a few lads who are only just now getting back into it.

Cannot agrre with the kanyuke comment Arriba, yes he was not great yesterday but he is playing on merit. In his last 4 games i have seen more from him than any other midfelder we have had this season. Also i dont think its any coincidence tht Timlin had his best game playing alongside him, So did Nalis and so did Allen

[Arriba]

do you think he played well yesterday then drs?
