Did I detect a bit of his fitness back yest afternoon seemed like he's getting back in form ? What an odd player he is always takes him 12 games to get up to speed but once he's back in form he must start in my opinion .
 
No and shouldn't be a starter. Opposition teams know not to let him get the ball on his left foot or have time to pick a pass. Since he was rumbled, he has become an a luxury player that is mainly ineffective. That said if Opposition teams fail to manage him , he can get that added quality.
 
Anyone else think we might offload him in January? And bring in that Iqbal on loan who isn't getting a sniff at Utd?

No word on an extension being offered, DJ is playing like he knows one isn't forthcoming.

I think the only possible reason we signed Woodburn (except for "FFS, we'd better sign someone for the Spain trip) was to hopefully shove DJ onto the bench ready for his eventual sale in January at one of Peter's expertly-negotiated rock-bottom prices.

Obviously, Woodburn hasn't worked out that way so far, but I doubt DJ will be offered a new deal in the current era of Hemmings austerity.

Keep an eye out for Alan Pardew at our matches...

I actually think Woodburn has played well in all three of his starts. But he's not an impact player off the bench.

We definitely need another 10 bringing in if DJ goes though.
 
What we lacked last Saturday was movement and imagination. Johnson can provide those which is why I would like to see him start tomorrow. If instead of standing still waiting for punted balls from midfield to hit his chest Fernandez were to be able to run onto through passes of the sort Johnson can play then we might start to pose a consistent attacking threat.

More chance of the edited version I’d say.
 
He'd have to accept a wage drop to stay here.

Maybe he likes the area.

I can see him joining Rovers on a Free.

There was big rumours last season and his wages here are easily affordable there. They seem to like taking players from the championship , they will all.do.well in that league.

That was when Gerrard was in charge, DJ was playing well & his contract was up.

Completely different situation now.

Rovers have 3 or 4 players in the same position as DJ performing at a higher level than he's been at for the last 2 seasons.

Don't see why they'd want him.
