if you want to give your kids nightmares - make some posters out of this for their rooms

I've just printed one off and put it above the fireplace ao rhat should keep him away from the fire. Safety first in our house.

Now what can i keep this weed killer in? Ah this empty Pepsi bottle looks just the thing...

Apparently here until the end of the season now.
May as well, its a bit late in the season to move anywhere else so keep him around and give Robins chance to assess him. Who knows what state the squad will be left in after relegation so better to have options.

I don't understand why Robins didn't go along and watch the game the other day. You would have thought he would WANT to see Lawton and also have a look at who's pressing for places in the first team squad.
Because he's got problems enough to sort out first without worrying too much about a player who most likely isn't fit enough to make a genuine claim for a place at the moment.

Enough problems to sort out with the team selection and looking forwards to next season though surely?

I would expect the manager to be at an U21/23 game in the precise scenario we are in. He is obviously struggling to pick a team at the moment.

Players pushing for places is exactly where he should be looking I would say.

Can he not spare a couple of hours to look at players he might have to utilise next season?

I am glad he is having a chance to prove his fitness and stake a claim for next year. Let's hope if he is here it is on merit and not just because it is a cheap option.

At least Robins does have some assessment time around the squad in preparation for next year. He is also familiar with life at this level. I think lack of knowledge at league 1 level was Mowbrays problem around recruitment.

I'm guessing he's still going then, again not in the u23 squad or is he injured again and I've missed it?

Suprised the telegraph haven't done a piece on him again if he's left for good. Plus no uproar that "one of our own" has not been given a chance under his 4 manager of the season

I think as no manager here rated him we can safely say despite the hyperbole he really wasn't up to very much.

Best of luck to him, at his age he should be playing regular 1st team football. No point being here as a squad player if he can try prove himself a few divisions lower.

They've got to wait until he's been photographed looking sad. On a serious note, good luck to him, the times I did see him in pre-season he looked really competitive and combative.
