Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

Don’t see it at all.

By the end of this month Ba will have been at the club for two years. I’m not sure we’ve seen any improvement from him in that time at all. He still appears as immature, has shockingly poor decision making and seems far too easy to knock off the ball.

I appreciate he’s still a relatively young man but if after two seasons we’ve seen no improvement I think the writings on the wall.

I think this is about Mayenda
 
I think people quickly forget that young inexperienced player will inevitably have dips in form. At the same time it will take some longer to develop than others. We've got likes of Jobe and Rigg who were both ready to play championship football at 17. But on the other hand, there's lads like Mayenda, Hume etc who came in at 18 and 20 and it's taken them a little time to show they are able to step up. The latter still has a long way to go to prove that long term.

But the point is players develop at different rates. Ba has shown glimpses in the past that he has got what it takes, but yes i think i'd agree currently he is way down the pecking order and would benefit from a loan. That's not to say he won't be a useful player for us, it just means currently he's not at the level we are looking for

Well he had to change positions under a staff that had no idea what they are doing so that’s understandable.

Not sure that happened like, we only kept about 2 clean sheets in 8 or 9 games last season early on. We were also wide open and had players running through unchallenged which plenty of us pointed out.

This season is different and we haven't really conceded many chances, never mind goals.

Oh it absolutely did. People were still talking about the 'good defensive record' this summer.

O'Nien at CB

It’s pretty incredible that LoN has gone from a player a lot of people didn’t think was good enough to start regularly in midfield at league 1 level, to now being a regular CB at championship level. I think thoughts on this probably mirror views on the club more generally. If you are in the...

O'Nien at CB

I think O'Nien was a little unlucky to get booked, the Plymouth lad was going on like a knob. Luke thinks he's in a wrestling match every week, qwhere its OK to use his hands. Unfortunately, he's not very good at hiding it like others are and refs are noticing it. This "Onien is a master of...

221 days since a striker scored . . .

It really is a mad stat. Top half and no striker goals. We need to find goals from the top end quick or we will drift into solid mid-table IMO.

Batth to Norwich ** confirmed **

The squad would be better with Batth in it. He would have played yesterday and a few games more probably. Would we conceding easy headers from corners with him and Ballard as CBs?

Can't currently find the thread I mean but we were up there defensively for a while even though it was clear we weren't that organised.

This season there's been a bit of panic when the ball has gone aerially into the box and scrambled clearances. Doesn't take a genius to see with Onien and Alese we're not particularly strong in the air, but they've barely been tested yet.

I was talking about Mayenda

He won't be match fit until after international break if it gets done you reckon?

He is training with the club, he's not on strike or owt, just doing it separately from his team-mates as neither he or the club want him getting injured. So shouldn't be like signing a free agent like Poveda.
