"down to bare bones" for Tuesday Rochdale game.

Now Paul Paton out with ankle ligament injury.
Brent's lack of investment in the squad now telling at a crucial time of the season, Tuesday will be a difficult game.

Its a must win obviously as well.....nothing less than 3 points will be enough

Northampton very easily brushed aside piss poor depleted Akkeron and Rochdale are a much better team than the Cobblers. Can't see anything other than a defeat on Tuesday and quite a comprehensive one at that.

Thanks to brent the season is over

So we've got 2 players out. Taylor and Paton, along with long termer Edwards. Sarcevic is on the way back. Have I missed out anyone?

And the squad is down to bare bones.

Strength in depth obviously hasn't figured in Lord Jimmy's football dictionary.

If it ever did it comes a long way below 'austerity' and even further below 'profit'.

Forgot Makasi, but he was in for Sarcevic anyway.

The "down to bare bones" comment is attributed to Derek as reported by the daily rag. The January window signings are paying dividends.

No sympathy for Del Boy who continues to cover for his employers. He should have been pushing the owners for a budget based on the attendances, not a budget roughly in the bottom third of the division.
Still, in his favour, at the start of the season he had no intention on attacking all that much, so lack of forward cover is to be expected.
And if he's not careful, Taylor won't play again at all this season if he keeps sticking pins into his doll.

The line up tonight could be interesting, Derek may need to be creative.

Indeed greengull if im honest I don’t fancy em one bit 2 night got a feeling it’s gunna be more of the same fayre that was dished up Saturday..I hope im wrong
Though

It's a feckin disgrace that we can't field a team with strikers. Before any of our Brentites pop up and compare us to minted owners, why haven't we signed Messi comments, all of our competitors and I mean all of them can field a team and a bench with a striker or two on them. Yes we all get injuries at his time of the season but a club with Argyles support should be able to sign more than two of hem in a season. The fact that fifty per cent of our strike force was injured when we signed him and still is should raise questions in itself. As for selling Jervis in January with no replacement is just frankly bizarre.
Feck off Brent and take your toadies with you.

Spot on Ears. We were never supposed to be in this position, treading water was Green Jims preferred finish.

And we will also hear how we have overachieved this season which I think we'd all have to agree is true. What is unforgivable is throwing away the chance of back to back promotions with a bare bones squad, not grrreeeaaaattttt management is it?

just go brent ffs

Brent's way of working is to always get by with the minimum possible expenditure, however he must have been delighted in January.

If we had remained in the relegation zone then the call would have been for him to spend, however Derek and the boys pulled out a few wins, mid-table obscurity beckoned and the purse strings remained locked. How Brent must have breathed a sigh of relief - his idea of a championship winning side - cost free consolidation.

Those pesky kids then ruined his plan by continuing to win and indeed up to last week we were in control of the play offs, but of course too late to bolster the squad.

Now, three injuries later and we are down to the bare bones. Ultimately this season will be an opportunity lost solely due to under-investment in the team.

Ten Thousand fans and no squad, its a nailed on win for Rochdale and their three thousand fans.

Today will be known henceforth as Bare Bones Tuesday.

how many more season must we fall short of our goals due to lack of investment and strength in depth in our squad. It harms us every year and no aviva seems to be spotting the common factor in this equation.

enough is enough feck off brent.

6 years on, we are finally down to Lord Saviour James Brent's Big Bare Bone.

Jesuli Crimnibblies.

Bare bones can still win. COYG

After grant being shit in a central role got to be worth giving Fletcher a chance only recognised striker and that

Rochdale look odds on to beat Akkeron 'bare bones' Argo tonight and that's not just me saying it, although realistically here and now we will likely lose.

Nearly spat tea when I read this on JBSOTI just now,

Spare ticket for Tribute lounge tonight.
As the title of the thread, friend pulled out for this evening.
PM if interested

Reckon there might be a few going begging.

Rooney on the bench. WTF

Take your austerity and ram it up high.

Wayne?

I reckon Fletcher has more of a chance of netting than Grant, at least Sarcevic is playing.

Grant starting again


Really wtf has he shown past two games that warents a third start...
