DJ has been here too long. The hunger has gone. He plays well once in 20 games.. he's a fan favorite good old 50 grand. If it was just Mick Jones who had been playing as shite as him for the past few seasons we'd all want rid.

Mick Jones was a good un, provided the cross for the Leeds winner in the 1972 cup final v Arsenal.

Yep. Alex has already been in touch. 😏

He was the difference between two league one sides on Saturday. He's the only midfielder on our books with the ability and desire to create and make something happen - sometimes that will make him inconsistent, and I'm sure his 'completed passes' stats will be lower than the busy going nowhere passes made by steady eddies Whiteman and McCann.
But in a team so lacking in flair and creativity, I can't believe the manager has overlooked him for so long, regardless of his contractual position.

Totally agree, him and Alvaro are the only ones who go past players.
Both try to look forward before they receive the ball and the problem we have is that there’s no options for them, other players are generally standing still and not looking to create spaces.

DJ will attract interest from Championship clubs this Summer. Someone like Woodburn won't. Yet some people seem happy that DJ is leaving, and quite likely Woodburn is staying.

It's another indictment on Ridsdale and Lowe how badly DJ has been managed. He shouldn't be leaving on a free, and Lowe prefers Woodburn to DJ. It's madness.

Woodburn would struggle to start regularly in a league 1 side, madness that Lowe clearly rates him

So he doesn't play shite almost 100 % of the time consistently? Or do you mean he hasn't lost his hunger? Not sure what you think is bollocks.. I like DJ believe it or not.. he is still out best outfield player, he's just not consistent enough.

In his defence he had most of the starting 11 ripped away from him and replaced with cheap lower league players and loans so I'm not surprised he didn't know his best team.

This is just lumpy bollocks. You need to see a quack - and I don't mean Deepdale Duck.

Even people who don't like him accept that he has played well in at least 3 games since the WC break (Rovers and the last 2). I'd also add to that Stoke away and the Huddersfield cup game for the same period.

I think he's only started 15 league games in total this season, and didn't get on the pitch at all in another 10. As for his sub appearances, well we all know how effective Lowe's use of subs has been.

Try and place his performances in the context of an all too often negative team set up, an inexperienced manager at this level, the attempt to shoehorn a cheaper and inadequate replacement into the side instead of him, and a dysunctional club off the pitch with a slash and burn ownership in place. Is it any wonder he's not played well in every game?

Put it like that and I reckon I'll leave with him 😂😂

Best footballer at the club.

If he was consistent for 46 games a season, let's be honest here, he wouldn't be playing for us.

When DJ's on it, we play well. He's a Championship footballer ultimately and he's always going to have peaks and lulls throughout the season but he'd be on that teamsheet every week for me.

Leaving him completely out the 18 against Burnley set the tone. You don't go into a derby game against the best team in the league with your best player getting splinters in the stands

What's he had 8 years service and over 300 appearances. Can't see anyone else in our current crop of players (except Browne who's already there) getting remotely close to that

Exactly - excellent post.
And what’s played instead of him simply isn’t up to the task
