THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

That depends on the players we lose and who replaced them. For eample, O'Hora will be a massive loss, while Payne and Bate will want to play in League 1, so would be unlikely to return.

We also all saw what happened after we missed out on promotion in 21/22..

We'll bring in new players to replace them. I'd really miss Payne and I think O'Hora is off whatever happens but I do believe Bate will stay after his contract is up with Leeds.
We might lose Max too but I think we'll replace those players on our march to the title.

Easily said, but if we are in L2 next year, we could do with some physically bigger, stronger players in the squad.
Didn't do Wycombe any harm in their play off success against our technically-gifted team.

Could've done with a commanding fella at the back, like Flint, Swailes or McFadzean.

No thanks. I’d prefer footballers like Doumbé, Williams or Darling.

Toby Lock is reporting that Tucker is playing an in house match this afternoon.

What are the chances of him coming straight into the defence if fit and would that make an improvement?

I dont think I would want him straight back in after 5 months out, short term I dont see him being able to improve on what we have with his long lay off. The season might very well be over before he regains full match fitness but he might be more useful in the playoffs.

He played some of his best football here just before the injury. Really stepped up under MW and looked reall confident in that defence. We're a much better team defensively with a confident Jack Tucker. Like you say, the question is how long will it take to see him at that level again.

I'm sure he'll be eased back in slowly, but I fully expect him to see some minutes this weekend, even if its only from the bench. Him and Max back to their best would be massive for the rest of our season.

Agreed. MW has said he was a standout player in the few performances he had under MW before getting injured. Suspect MW rates him very highly and I think he’ll be back in the squad as quickly as possible (of course with some care due to his recent injury).

I suspect we’ll see him for 10 - 20 minutes on Friday and Monday, followed by him starting against FGR.

Or a mixture of them. Swailes took no sh*t from anyone and KM wasn't adverse to a 'juicy tackle'. Darling of course was amazing moving into attack mode and MD was no slouch.
Oh to have such a choice these daze......
