I post a fair bit of negative stuff on here so thought I'd try my hand at some 'positivity'..
I reckon Madine and Lowe are going to be great partnership for us. Madine has certainly found his scoring touch and Lowe looks to be a decent footballer, as well as a goal-scorer.
Let's hope Lowe gets fit as soon as possible and we can field them together for the rest of the season. Assuming we can tighten up at the back, which is a big assumption at this stage, maybe they can fire us to the top 2.

Jones isn't good enough to be the new Darren Purse!
As for Reda, yes he can look like an accident waiting to happen but how often does it actually happen & how many times has he really cost us??
He's pretty much the equal of Jones in the air but he's quicker & more mobile when the ball's on the ground & he's capable of recovering when/if he does make a mistake!

I think Jones is a good captain. Im not sure who could fill that role if he was out the team. Certainly not Reda.
Could Prutton do it?
I know who GM's 1st choice would be after Jones. All hail the Ginger chicken mr O'Connor!

I agree, poite & unfortunately that's why he was straight back in the side after getting dragged off during the Stevenage debacle!
Buxton has had the captaincy when Jones has missed games this season I think & that's fine by me although he's not the loudest!

I'd like to see JOC left back ...
... in the dressing room.

If JOC was busy shouting at his players, perhaps he wouldn't get caught out of position as often.

I think as captain Jones has to do a piece on the OS just like he does in the match program, to be fair they are usually full of cliches and positive statements, but what else would he say!!
As regards the back 4, I would have Reda in everytime over Jones and Baath

the players would get sick of hearing JOC saying "y'know" every 3 seconds. Even I turn him off when hes interviewed

Sorry, damn sausages for fingers pressed send!!!
I was going to say that Reda is the strongest and most physical defender we have and that alone will seriously disrupt the strikers he is marking. He is also as good as Jones at set pieces and will grab goals.
I would actually have beevers back and put him in there as well but in his abscence I would leave batth in there. Buxton has become a no brainer at RB but LB continues to be a problem. Bennett looks good going forward and his long throw causes all sort of problems but he is maybe too happy to attack!! Reynolds I think deserves more playing time at LB, he has not done bad in his games so far.
What if we played 3 CH and pushed the full backs up the pitch as both of them look good going forward. This would let Marshall or Lines to have a free role behind the front two, might be worth a shot.
