Afdley got us promoted. And if it wasn’t for that 12 games he wouldn’t have put himself into a position of failure in L1 that no experienced manager was allowed try. Personally I think he’d have got fired soon enough at L2 level anyway given the combo of his limitations and the club’s.

As for JJ - I’d have had him out long time back he’s clearly not made for management but he’s done far better than I would have ever expected. Can only wonder at the who and how of us actually putting together a group of players who seem to want to give a shit for the first time in tooo long. But I’ll take it. Until we sort out our finances I can’t see much changing so to be in and about the lower play off spots is indeed quite an achievement.
BW, from what I’ve heard Jennings is refusing to sign so will be gone in summer

Silk - Maybe so, as I say we shall see soon enough but most players who are going to make it really big have shown their potential by that age and one pizza trophy goal in 1200 minutes (20 hours) of play doesn't suggest that he is exactly going to set the world on fire. Maybe he's just a slow developer though. You have your views on this and I have mine, but neither of us really knows the future.

Nick at 19 (just) he's a long time off needing to be the final product.

Lurker- Well, we shall see soon enough whether he ever actually makes things happen or always stays tantalisingly "not far off"

Personally the games he played for the senior team Bartley never looked anything special and Robinson, whilst a tryer, didn't look anything much in L1. Both are some way off peak but I'd keep Sasu over those 2 any time.

Nick W from what I've seen of him and them, Sasu is way ahead of those 2. He's got a better set of tools to build on and he's not far off making things happen. He's literally just turned 19 and only played 1200 minutes of adult football and he's showing better potential.

bush womble - Jenkins was a weird one because when fit he played a lot. BUT the only thing I'd say is he is a bit short for a CB at this level.

Carsh, does Papers say the women are not good enough in midfield. He's used that with the men's for the last twenty years except up at Harrogate when he claimed we're not got enough defensively to hold onto our 1-0 lead

Hello Silk - fair enough, that makes sense, sorry for any confusion. I would say that my personal view is that Sasu is more likely to be another in the Zac Robinson/ Quaine Bartley mould (ie nearly good enough for us but actually not quite), it wouldn't at all surprise me to see him taking the high road to Scotland with our other crocks and near misses (Robinson, Nightingale, George Oakley etc), I would of course be very happy to be proved wrong.

Will be interesting to see who gets offered contracts this summer from the under 18s. Jennings a shoo-in but not sure there is anyone else nailed on.

Luke Jenkins seems to be doing very well for Chelmsford in NLS. Picked for English C and lots of talk that he'll soon end up back in the league.
Good grief no wonder this place is on its shitbox 🤣

Classic Papers yesterday was telling me Norwich would pip us to the title even thought we were 8 points clear at the top and now 10

Norwich 2 QPR 2. Great result for the Women who won themselves 6 nil at Cambridge City. Now 10 points clear of Norwich who have two games in hand. AFC Wimbledon also have a vastly superior goal difference. Means defeat at home to Norwich next weekend wouldn't take promotion out of their hands anymore.

Word of caution. Remaining fixtures. 4 of Wimbledons 5 are top half teams. 6 of Norwichs 8 are bottom half teams. No obvious matches left for Norwich to drop points (QPR today was the last) apart from maybe Ashford in their final match. Wimbledon travel to Ashford on Wednesday looking for revenge for a 2-0 home defeat in September
Jack Currie was aged 20 and seven months when he made his debut. Academy players who have first team potential should be given time. I understand keeping certain players just in case they might succeed is not a good idea. I think under Cope the number of players offered contracts will drop and be limited to those with a good chance. Last summer being an example (Sasu, Williams and Lock).

So have we had the obligatory campaign from Bassey’s mates yet. The equivalent of the rotund female singing.

Changing Man - in the 2017-18 season there was what was later reported as 'player revolt' in the dressing room at half time when we were 2-0 down away at Walsall. We came out and won the game 3-2 with Parrett scoring a penalty at the end. There were about 5 games to go after that and we stayed up by 3 points.

Silk I think the purpose of the loan was likely to expose JC to a bit more physicality than he’d get playing reserve or youth football. So in a way the level matters less. I think we’ve seen with some of the loanees we get in from time to time they are not ready for men’s football until they’ve had those spells out playing men’s football.

Playing time is more important than the level of football IMO. Loans where the player ends up on the bench for half a season aren’t good for anyone.
Russ - do you think that was because he would always be good enough to play for us or that the only reason he was good enough was because of the loan? The simple fact is that a player is either good enough for us or not. If all he needs is experience then the National League is the place for him to get it. Not in the NLS against part-timers.

Silk - You’re forgetting that our best young player spent a season on loan at Eastbourne Borough and then came back and immediately won his spot in the first team.

There are people who are never going to accept that JJ is doing as good a job as we can expect and those who've been touted as wonderful replacement managers over the last few years are not proving the point elsewhere. Sadly it looks like Franchise made a good early season switch and actually did find a promising young management team. With a bit of luck they will be tempted away to somewhere more deserving of them.

Ardley is an out of work non-league manager. He’s a failure.

Harsh but true
Nick - my point was that the other forwards are not screaming, "I'm a definite starter." Curtis is the best of the rest and at least has a goal in him. If we have a bad Easter then we might as well have a look at Sasa and McLean for the rest of the season. And if we cannot see Sasu being a squad player next season (starting a number of games and coming on regularly) and we cannot get a NL club to have him then we should seriously consider if we should keep him. If we cannot loan him to the next level down then he may not be the player we hope he can be. Maybe if Sutton go down we can have a talk with them.

Most Prem/Champ sides, if they see the player with a future at the club will only loan him to a side in the same division or the one below. If you drop to one more level below for a season long loan then you are not in their plans. I think the ones who made it for us only went out on short loans - could be wrong on that - to get games in their legs.
