Please can you ask the following.

1) injury news on Ling, Turley and Jobi

2) new contracts to youngsters like Ruel and Marv

3) what cover for Centre backs.

4) The pass back thing with LV is that going to be an
ongoing feature?

Thanks

Cisse has been very impressive so far is there a chance we can sign him permanently at the end of his loan?

Were we close to moving any players out before the deadline to try and balance out the squad.

We haven’t got around to sorting this. But we will aim to get him on ASAP.

Why hasn’t Ruel had a new contract by now?
Does his current deal expire end of this season?
Do we have an option to extend that?

Does he agree that Paddington 2 is the best filem ever made?
If not what is his favourite?

We seem to be developing a much more positive relationship with Tottenham Hotspur recently with the Marsh and Sterling loan signings.

Are we cultivating similar relationships with other London clubs?

Special emphasis on question number 2 . Those two have simply got to be given contract extensions as a priority.

Why did we persist with one up front for so long when we were not scoring, especially when we had two forwards on the pitch but played one out wide?

Dean Brill is now first team coach. What is the situation with an assistant manager coming in. Or do you not want a good number 2?

Kaz Sterling - why did we bring him in when he hasn't played since September, is some way from fitness and when we already have five forwards?

What does Myles Judd need to do/improve to become a more credible option for us?

Does Ross know for next season who he is likely to keep of those that are out of contract. Have discussions taken place for keeping Happe Epiteta And Brophy

Whose idea was it to remove Alabi from the transfer list?

If he has a good loan spell at Eastleigh would you consider a new contract or is he finished here?

Why at the start of the season, was Alabi taken off the transfer list and also why was he not put out on loan a lot earlier than he was. Also after he was taken off the transfer list, why was James given preference to Ruel as an attacking option to come off the bench ?

I don't know if he's been playing but I haven't seen Alabi's name mentioned once yet at Eastleigh

It would appear he started his first three games for them. They then went on a 3 game goalless run before he was dropped. Sound familiar?

They won 2-0 after dropping him.

Alabi played some games in the starting 11 for Eastleigh, did not score any goals, I think I can recall he picked up a yellow card. Yesterday he was a sub for them and came on in the 67th minute. Eastleigh ended up winning 2-0 against Woking.
As to Ogie, he has been a regular for Dover since going on his loan there, even scored a goal for them !
Yesterday he did not play and was not on the subs bench either, perhaps an injury ?

You've developed good working relationships with Luke Williams (Swindon) and Justin Edinburgh, what have been the main coaching takeaways from working with each? In what ways have they influenced your management now

Did the abuse your wife got earlier in the season influence your decision to stand down?

What is our formation? (Usually, I understand it may change)

Some fans allege that Ling forced you into being head coach and that you are his lapdog. What do you say to those fans?

Really, that's the best way you could word that question!? Have another go and we will ask because underneath the sarcasm and nastyness there's a good question there.
