Poor Khan too, he's clearly the man that's got the quality for our midfield but he cannot even get on the pitch.

Echo this about Khan Conker but clearly there's something missing we aren't seeing as DF didnt play him and JD subs him every time when he does

He was playing him at home beforehand though.

We gave one of the worst L2 sides ive seen for a while the chance to come at us for 15 minutes. Not only that we did it in such a way that had they come back into it we wouldnt have had much left to reply with. Its madness and doesn't give fans the belief he knows what hes doing. Many of us will have seen a lot more L2 football than JD, we've seen this negative approach fail before... We've sat and watched our team throw away countless points in the last decade by adopting exactly that approach.
If you arent going to attack the worst team in the league, when 2 nil up at home, when are we going to attack? We were under no pressure at all until he made the changes. If they had upped their game and started to threaten then yeah maybe protect what we have but that wasnt the case. The 5 minutes before we changed it we started to open then up... its baffling.
If we were direct but effective, like under Cox then fair enough. But this team doesn't want to keep or work the ball. Doesn't support the target man to win 2nd balls and mostly doesn't even deliver good balls forward anyway. Surely keeping the ball is better than sitting back, letting them have it and hoping they dont break us down.
Great we got a win, but the problems haven't gone away and fans are rightly still worried.
I get your point jamie ,but yesterday was a massive game that we had to win ,no matter how especially after the orient game ,i think that we will find the right balance ,but it doesn,t happen overnight ,especially with an injury decimated squad ,all im saying is we need to give him a bit of time

CJ has only started 4 league games and he had to come off injured at half time at Newport. He's also been played at right wing back and up front. His best position is attacking down the left and that's when we get the best out of him.
Mal has also not been at his best so far this season which applies to most of the defence.

CJ has not played much because he’s looked like he’s still in Ibiza.
Remember the end of last season too? Exeter away last season was probably his last proper good performance.
We need a raring to go CJ in the correct position this season desperately, but it’s not wing back or upfront so you need to either make space for him or keep him on the bench.

IMO he’s become a bit of a “luxury”. I’m not sure we afford to keep wasting the shirt.

He put in a great cross for Preston's goal.

Mal is a far better player all round.
I disagree Sneag. I'd always have CJ Hamilton in the team. You cannot coach the genuine pace that he has. It was a great cross by CJ the first goal. He's one of our main attacking threats and gets bums off seats. I thought he did well at left wing back and I cannot remember Scunthorpe players getting past him like they did Kellan Gordon on the right. He also did one thing that Mal never does and that was chase back to stop a counter attack after he had lost the ball. It was his mistake for losing the ball but he battled back and got a round of applause from the fans. He also had a goal disallowed for offside. Was it offside? It looked tight but we were sat North Stand side of halfway line. JD needs to build CJ's confidence back up and get him flying again. He's not going to do this if he is sat on the bench.
We are lucky to have two great left sided attacking players in CJ Hamilton and Mal Benning and they often do play well together. However if you are playing three at the back then you do not need two players to do a one man job so it gives the manager a difficult choice. I'd always go for CJ because of his pace, goals and assists.

CJ isn't a great player he's a half decent Lge 2 player nothing more.
The likes of Ray Clarke, Liam Lawrence etc were great players.

How is a attacking left winger with pace ‘a bit of luxury’?
