Would you start Washington on Saturday?

No they need more time on the training pitch before they can be a partnership. We need to be patient. We are like 2 vultures in a tree one saying "patients my ass i'm gonna kill something" !

That makes no sense. The more they play together the better, regardless of whether it's training or a match.

[oldhoop]

Rubbish. How can you make that conclusion without having watched him?

Not rubbish Ginger! I have watched him probably 8/9 times this season and the last time lost my voice shouting at the plank to actually do something constructive. His style of play is holding the team back and he looks like he is just "making up the numbers". I don't pretend to know more than JFH & co but I cannot bring myself to make the 150 mile trip with my son only to be extremely disappointed once again!

[oldhoop]

Bull$hit.

The last sentence tells me you don't even go anyway so how can you make such a statement? Stinks of having a vendetta against somebody rather than actually basing statements on performances. He is no world beater and, tbh, wouldn't be in my preferred 11, but nowhere near as bad as your comments.

Mate, been to Fulham, Charlton and the first 7 home games is that enough for you? it was certainly enough for me!!!
No vendetta just can't see why he is in the team and refuse to spend my hard earned until he is gone!

Well the flippant answer would be that maybe that's why you're the one travelling 150 miles to get to a game rather than managing a Championship club.

Successive managers have repeatedly picked KH so are they all wrong?

[oldhoop]

Do you seriously not go to games because Karl Henry is playing?

He is what he is, not sure what your expecting him to do? fact is, the last 4-5 managers think he brings something to the team / squad, but i guess you know better. We do have good numbers in midfield, but fact is alot of them are very injury prone.

we have far worse and bigger problems in our squad than him

I don't know better but would you agree that Faurlin, Chery, Luongo, Sandro even Doughty are not better players?

Didn't NW make him sub for 2 of the 3 games he was in charge and didn't we win 2 of those?

haven't applied for the job, spend too much time managing my sons team!

[Kevin Mcleod]

I know he's not a pretty player but i do believe we would concede a lot more goals without him in the side, and we are doing a good job of not conceding anymore.

[Lunar Jetman]

Does it not depend on what they're all being asked to do? I said before, successive managers have consistently picked him, presumably to do a job they want done. Maybe the experts think he's the best fit for the role they want filling?

[oldhoop]

and as I've just tried to say NW left him on the bench for 2 of his 3 games in charge and guess what we won those 2 games and it was a joy for me to see the team without him!

Perhaps NW knows what he's doing! CR certainly didn't!

[Garyd73]

Tell me how fit he is, how he has performed in training and how our other strikers have been. Without this info we are just pissing in the wind with regards to picking him and shows that most fans think they know best when they actually have no clue. Especially me.

Erm, he left him on the bench for two of the four games he was in charge. Granted he didn't attend the Middlesbrough game due to personal issues but I'm sure would have prepared and picked the team.

He started the other two under Warnock's reign....

[oldhoop]

TBH I couldn't give a flying how he's performed in training. I can only comment on what I see on the pitch and he is garbage.
Interestingly no-one has yet been able to articulate what he actually brings to the team!

But we won the two games when he warmed the bench, stunning coincidence or maybe just maybe NW hit on something?!!!

Well we only drew one (0-0 against Preston) and lost the other 1-0, conceding in the 93rd minute against Middlesbrough so seems more of a coincidence than anything else to me....

[Yousef]

I'd start the same team who beat Rotherham and maybe bring Washington in the last 15 mins.
