David Tutonda off to Cobblers?

I thought he was caught out of position a few times getting forward under BG. But in his defence, no-one seemed to know what the 'plan' was under BG... the left sided CB (Harries usually) should have been covering the position. 
Tutonda looks a good player to me. UTG. 

Kelly out of contract end of season.

Nothing in the rumour on Dave as if a loan or a sale. If loan could be a good move.

Thankfully PT soon sussed out that the Wingback formation was not working for him or us. I really liked Tutonda and thought he had bags of potential, if he is off to pastures new, it is with my best wishes and good luck for the future.

Interesting times.

Tuts appeared to (proportionately) explode on the scene when BG dropped our top goalscorer, Leahy.

Now, a few months and a manager on, Leahy has kinda been restored as our regular left sided defender. That's now 3 managers choosing him ahead of other competition, and sometimes no competition.

Leahy has a penalty in him, and although isn't the finished article for many, and is certainly no legend in form of Browner or Joner, but has become the 'go to' left sided defender we all have comprised for and done ok for us.

I'm surprised DT hasn't pushed on, but maybe Leahy is doing all the things managers like to see holistically in a defensive way?

I would prefer we keep DT.

If Tutonda does go there are another 18 to get rid of in this window, with Ogogo coming back next week we will have 41 pros on the books which includes 5 goalkeepers. There is a problem though, which club or who has the money to take on 18 journeymen players on good money when they have to look after their own perilous finances. You have to hand it to the "highly recommended" Garner he was a man of his word, he would leave a lasting legacy.

one good thing to say about Leahy he doesn’t shirk a 50/50.

I don't subscribe to the flack that Leahy picks up - I think he's a dependable Tier 3 left-back / wing-back, who has done equally well for us going forwards and in defence.

Recently I saw stuff on social media that he should be dropped because he's 'made the same mistake twice', in clearances from left-back going to an opposition player.

Yet looking at both those incidents, the ball is out wide and a lot happens before it ends up in the net.
1) Westbrooke really should have done better in preventing the cross, he was very close and should have put a foot in to block it / the cross comes in and Baldwin loses the player he is marking, spins around, and has now lost sight of both the player and ball.
2) The opposition carry out a series of passes, unchallenged, past lots of Rovers players, before it ends up in the net.
On both occasions, apparently, according to some, Leahy was to blame.  

Sometimes it seems that people don't like a player from the start, and are looking for the slightest reason to blame them.

That applies to managers too. Coughlan took so much stick for his up and at 'em style of football from a section of our supporters that I'm not surprised he up and left. Fans latch on to terrace murmurs of discontent like lemmings. I once asked a couple of Coughlan's "his football is crap" geniuses how many away games they'd seen. They'd seen none but he was still rubbish. It wasn't his football, but him as a person they disliked. His face didn't fit. The same with Garner because of the way he dressed or because his name was Ben or whatever. Once they get their teeth into someone there's no looking back because they have to be proven right at any cost.
