Drenthe played 11 games for his new club in Turkey - Erciyesspor, scoring 3 times, although his team lost 9 of those 11 games and finished bottom of the league Laugh

I thought he had gone to China, didn't know he was in Turkey!! Still 3 goals every 11 games would have seen him be our top scorer last season!!

I'd say Helan is a midfield player. Id rather have Dielna at LB

And I'd have Drenthe back any day Thumb up

Just not while Stuart Negative is managing Doh

As I said previously around October, I know Drenthe as I played poker with him.

He is a nice guy but he wasn't happy with the way SG treated him. He was committed to the half season loan but seeing as he spent the first half of that time sitting on the bench, he had already decided that he wasn't going to stay any longer at S6. Maybe after SG leaves?

Helan is not good enough at LB & not good enough as a wide player. He might just make it as a wing back.

Again, he need coaching. He looks like he hasn't been coached in even the basics. Until we can address this then the PL won't happen.

November

The month started with a trip to Charlton and finally SG relented and gave Drenthe a start. Unsurprisingly, he was our MOTM by a distance, scoring a brilliant individual goal and giving us a deserved half time lead. We fell away in the second half and the match finished 1-1, taking our run to eight matches without a win.

Next we were at home to Bournemouth, who were already challenging for promotion. We played with little conviction and shots from Drenthe (twice) and Maghoma were our only efforts of note. Bournemouth looked a class above but couldn't take advantage until Drenthe was sent off for a stupid second yellow card offence. Two goals in five minutes settled the game as we faded to another defeat.

Next up we were at home to relegation threatened Rotherham. Taylor-Fletcher was preferred up front but we lacked any guile or creative skills and the closest we came was from a mis-hit back pass from a Rotherham defender. This stretched our home run to over 400 minutes without a goal and our overall run to nine without a win.

Next we travelled to Huddersfield who were sat just two points above the relegation zone. Two poor sides but Wednesday could have won this one with May's shot coming out after hitting both the bar & the post. We were denied a clear penalty when Maguire was brought down in the box & to rub salt in the wounds, he got a yellow card for diving. Now it was ten matches without a win.

We finally scored at home from open play in our final match of November against 23rd placed Wigan and broke our run without a win. Semedo hit a post but Wigan took the lead. May equalised from close range shortly after and although we struggled in parts, May won the match with a flash header from 12 yards.

November was a really poor month. You could tell we were clutching at straws by starting gtf up top vs the village and toy town

I'd forgotten about GTF, and rightly so, waste of a loan for us!!

madsteve · 24-05-2015, 18:47

SG said that GTF was better than what we had.

I real vote of confidence for our strikers from the manager. No wonder they couldn't score.

madsteve · 24-05-2015, 21:39

GTF was lump that could barely move. Have made Nuhiu look mobile.

May was playing well and I think that SG systematically destroyed him.

On the plus side, SG believes we will see the best of Nuhiu next season.
