Another sick note, who I belive is on 3k a week! Done nothing in the games I've seen him play apart from his goal the other week so I'm starting to worry a little given his huge drop in leagues but yet his high wages for a non league club

You believe? why do you believe? You either know or don't know so why come on with this figure? Will be VERY surprised if he is on anywhere near this figure but I stand to be corrected by somebody who does know for definite.

Jarring his knee hardly makes him a sicknote.
If he had persistent groin problems, ACL injuries in the past, I could understand your point. He has dropped down 3 divisions to play for us, I for one am glad.

It's probably fair to say that (for whatever reason) Jermaine hasn't exactly ripped this league the new one that we hoped he might yet. That's not to say he's not a good player, but he's not really lived up to the hype yet and we're running out of games this season to do that.
Ditto Balanta.
Still, if we go up it won't matter and it will all go down in history as a part of DC's winning strategy at the first attempt.

He banged his knee in a collision. We were 2-0 up and have another game on Monday so it was sensible to take him off. Think that about covers it.

Think he does want to play. As to sensible it was only sensible if DC had any choice, I suspect from Easter's reaction that he couldn't continue in which case, unfortunately, DC didn't have any decision to make. Fingers crossed he is available Monday.

Easters reaction; I believe; was not due to not agreeing to be taken off but frustration that he couldn't play on. The man wants to play football.

No idea what wages Easter's on but I assume he's one of our highest earners of DC's signings, if so, you do have to start to wonder if the money could have been better spent on a younger player familiar with lower league football. Easter's almost becoming like a classic car which looks great in the garage but breaks down whenever you take it for a drive.
Let's just hope Easter soon recovers and returns to score the goal which take us up.

For once can we not give a new signing a break? Does he go out to get injured? Of course not, why is he already being shot at by so called 'supporters'. I watched him in the Aldershot match a rare glimpse of a decent amount of time on the field and it doesn't take a genius to see he has come here to play football.
I would imagine the number two marking him in that game went home with a sore neck as he was forever looking over his shoulder to see where he was popping up next, his movement and effort in that game was great to watch.
It's a mystery why people can't give a player or a manager at least a dozen games before making a call on overall capability.

In his first 8 games Clarke got us relegated, then in the next 4 games we lost 2, drew one and the only victory was a narrow 1-0 against the worst team in the Conference who will be relegated later today. As for Easter, class act, not match fit and carrying far too much weight, let's judge him after a full pre-season.

Quite agree, hence why I'm disagreeing that DC made a 'sensible' decision to take him off. The only decision was who to bring on to replace him & I think DC made the best and correct decision in bringing on Harrison.

Yes, of course. But wasn't the whole point of bringing him in to score the goals we were missing to get us promotion this season? He said as much himself a number of times in interviews as did DC and I think the chairman. He might well be a good long term signing but his current remit is quite simply to score the goals to get us promoted now. Hopefully he can still do this but he's hardly hit the ground running. It's hardly a critique of the player, more of the signing.

To be honest I don't see him scoring the goals partnering Taylor as Taylor for me does not work as a partner as he always wants to run for everything and drifts away too much from whoever happens to be partnering him. I really see Easter scoring goals alongside Blissett who,no matter how he is playing will take one defenders full concentration and another to cover. I can't see Taylor being dropped and probably does not deserve to be for his all round performance but he is not a player to create a partnership in which Easter scores.

Dont think he is a sick note. Just appears to be frustrated that his knee is still giving him problems. Doubt if he will play much more this season, shame as we would problem need him, especially if we are in the play offs.

Not a sick note and if you can't say the blokes got no class. He finds space where others can't and knows the game better than anyone else in the squad. Even if he doesn't rip the league apart like we all hoped he is still a great head to have in the squad. Not many things in football you can't have too much of in a side ; pace and EXPERIENCE (not age).

It does my nut right in Bamber, if someone doesn't instantly start firing on all cylinders from the get go then out come the critics, it's normal behaviour for some but baffling here. We knew we were getting a quality player who has been sidelined and needed to get fit, shame on DC for not blowing the dust off the crystal ball and seeing into the future for Easter's recent injuries. Oh well and least this thread alone gives Matty Taylor a break from the people who want to put him down if he isn't scoring a hatrick each week. I don't get how some people appear to be of the opinion that we should be playing fast free flowing free scoring injury free football, it's the conference it is or has rarely been pretty to watch and the league is infamous for bulldozers and bullies poorly officiated by referees who seem to struggle to detect general foul play. Anyway I'm off the opinion that this squad spirit and application wise is the best since Paul Trollope days and from the little seen of Easter is pretty clear he wants to play.

I think that if he were asked, Jermaine Easter would agree that he has had a frustrating time with injuries since joining us. But one thing comes across to me, and that he is not a ''sick note.''
I think that the reason that the manager took him off as quickly as he did yesterday was to minimise the risk of aggravating any possible injury that the player may have picked up, especially with another very important game coming up on Monday. Clearly he would prefer him to be fully fit for that one, rather than battle on when we were cruising the game.
I would agree that we haven't seen the best of the player so far though, but that is down to circumstances and not the player or his attitude. But did he ask to come off? That is the question.
