Remove Jenner, we'll lose any potential deal.

Also, we can dress Sprockel up and pretend he's a striker, he'll pass for ne more than a defender.

More useful to dress him up and use him as a corner flag, he would be more mobile in that position as well!

Can't understand why you played him in midfield, what's the thinking their ????

We have a tendency of thinking players who don't quite fit somewhere - can play in a position which they haven't featured in before or for awhile.

Under Shaun Derry many of us believed he would make a good LM, as fans we can afford to be wrong with our opinions because we don't see them week in or out during training. JF probably felt the gamble would have paid off, yet if we have a crisis with wingers - I'd much rather see youth team players given a chance.

At the very least Murray gave 100% when we pushed him there, Adams just looked awkward and very much out of position.

He should have started as a left back.

@notts-joe Milsom has done nothing wrong at Left Back. An alternative, would be to have Adams at left Back  and move Milsom to midfield, the area where we have a glut of good players, Curtis, Noble, Stanley. At the end of the day, prefer Milsom to Adams as Left Back

Milsom for me looks better in midfield but I agree, he hasn't done anything wrong.

I'm not the biggest fan of Blair Adams, he just doesn't seem to fit our system or tactics but I do believe he would have been better starting as a left back. He has found form there whilst at Mansfield and I just felt very early on Adams wouldn't offer us anything in that position. He may need time, yet I think it's just too risky. Play Milsom or someone else there.

@notts-joe I think we need to make some practical solutions. Acknowledge the squad needs downsizing, sell Adams while we still have a chance, terminate Jenner and Sprockel's contracts if a deal can be done, sell Bennett to Newport, and then use some of the savings to pay for a decent centre half on loan for the rest of the season.

Absolutely agree, although rumour is Blair would have signed for Mansfield at the end of the season.

Until then it would have just been a loan extention, with the rumour ranging from free transfer to just bonuses depending how he did. I have to say, I can't see Mansfield paying much for him and chances are we'll end up letting Adams go for free at some stage (that's if his contract doesn't run out before).
