Inferior coaching at the wankers.

Your point is correct in that I don't really know how he has been doing in training.

But the talk from Woosie was that he was ear marked to make cup appearances and make his first team debut this season prior to his injury. So I guess they must rate him and in pre - season he played there.

As ever the coaching team will be in a far better position to say than any of us but if he is genuinely considered a first team prospect for the position then we need to try him at some point. I trust Roy and the coaches to know if he is ready for that now or not.

I expect Jairo to play there just recognising there is another possibility. Well possibilities really, Tomkins to right back and Kelly to left also possible.

Great comments by RH. Need to big up a player in this situation who we now need to do well.

Wouldn’t it be great if he came in and threw his gauntlet down to challenge Van Aanholt for leftback. I’m dreaming but he does have a chance.

Okay, so I'm getting annoyed at how people are saying his name, as a Dutch speaker.

The R's are throaty sounds. Like saying Loch or Dreich in Scots.

Ahhh so you are saying it isn't Giro Readervalve then?

:) oops, fetching my coat.....

I'll be sticking with Giro for now I think, I have a sore throat already

:veryangry

G-row ride-a-bike

I always thought is was more Gyro than Giro. Like the sandwich …

. duplicate FFS.

Well I don't speak Dutch but the "ch" in loch and the "ch" in dreich are two different sounds. The first is the ach-Laut in German Bach, Loch; the second is the ich-Laut in ich[, München. I thought that Dutch had similar phonology and that that "r" is guttural and deep in the throat but not equivalent to either because it was trilled. But then the sound they make for the G in Gullitt's name is also down there: it's more like the gh in Middle English (it was written there like a greek 3 below the line). And don't the do something else similar when they see an H? I couldn't get through 's Gravenhage without getting tonsilitis.

Anyway, presuming he does start tonight it will be interesting to see how he gets on. Sounds like Jeff will be out for a few months and PVA for a while too. So he may be asked do the role for a while.

Let's let him know that with every tackle and clearance that we support him. He hasn't had much to smile about over the last couple of years.

Here's hoping he does a good job!

Needs to get his career back on track either with us or somewhere else (as does Meyer) so this is his chance for game time. Can he take advantage?

I just call him Jerry Reed. Much easier.

The one thing Jairo would bring is more creativity when going forward. He’s got good technical ability as you’d expect from someone schooled by Ajax. Not sure yet whether he can play that left back role but if he can look a half competent defender then happy days.

PVA brings more creativity than I would expect Jairo to.

Schlupp scored a pretty good goal from that position recently too.

You can tell he hasn’t played regular football for a while. Looks well off the pace!

I'd be surprised if he lasted the 90.
