Controversial, but you have to ask whether Kerrouche could do the job...

Not often I agree with you, Reverend, but a fit, willing and able Kerrouch would fit the bill at the moment. Not sure what he did to offend PDC, but him shipping him out to the Pox says it all as the ultimate insult and nail in his coffin; he aint going to play for us again as long as PDC is here. |

I've been thinking the same. I think it comes down to some give and take... we get a lot out of PDC. Passion, which has rubbed off through the club; An attractive prospect for players like Rooney, Benson, Foderingham; superb defensive record. But a by product of few signing two thousand players and being fiery is that some signings won't work and some will fall out with him. Even thought I bemoaned our lack of striking alternatives earlier, just as crucial has been Nathan Thompson's absence. This was his moment. Of course he isn't as defensively sound as Devera, but he is our reserve version of Caddis. He would get forward, overlap and give us the transition between defence and attack we have missed recently. Sadly for him, it could be a career changing dose.of horriblee bad luck, unless he can, gets fit asap. |

Bottom line, PDC only really rates Benson up top. The others he tries (often in vain) to keep hungry enough to produce something. He tries to instill confidence and self-belief in Murray and a sense of desperation in Connell, often to good effect in terms of the latter. Bodin must feel fairly unloved and PDC should just have asked two or three Orient fans about Tehoue before signing him - their fallout was highly predictable as soon as we all read the words 'lazy' and 'arse' on their forums. Benson has proved that you need proven league goal scorers to guarantee goals. PDC knows that now, in the same way he knows players with league appearances are a better bet than foreign talent with potential. Learning curve, etc.
Defensively we have been nothing short of stunning for the majority of the season. Assuming we at least crawl over the promotion finishing line, I'm sure we will spend most of what we have in the kitty on a striker. With what's left Paolo will no doubt bring in an experienced ball-winner/play-breaker/sideways passer in the centre of the park and decent cover at right back.
Play-offs next year and some Wembley revenge.

Thinking you may be premature in your ejaculatory prediction...I've heard from a reliable source that di Canio to West Ham is a done deal, and that in the same way Sturrock recommended Malpas as his successor, di Canio has put forward Wilder as the man to take us forward on a necessarily trimmed budget. Nevertheless we will have to pay compensation. That shouldn't be a problem, as it's less that we'd have paid for Constable... |

Is this a date related foolery or serious. Bit of an odd April Fool?! |
