He’ll be difficult to forget if he keeps scoring for them.

Great finish too, lovely little dink over the keeper.

The Pilgrims can’t believe we’ve turned Dec away and sent him down the road away from the holy shrine of GP!

Their keeper was having a blinder btw

He could return us to the promised land (EFL)!1 user thanked author for this post.
Aren’t we meant to have forgotten about Dec Howe by now…..
Every goal he scores for Alty reminds us that he is STILL our player!
Stan may see him as Dispensable Dec, HOWEever, there are many of us who see him as Dec the Destroyer.
Easy yarn… “we sent him out to get game time playing as a CF until we changed our personnel and formation to enable him to play in a 4-4-2. He’s come back looking sharper & even fitter, having proven that he can score goals in a struggling team and is looking hungry to accrue more. He’s the man to fire us through the play offs.”
Job done.
Twill be an interesting conversation between Butler and whoever he sent to watch Dec last night.
Commentators said Dec was the best player on the pitch by a country mile.If he weren’t our player you’d imagine we’d be interested in him.
One would be imagine he’s on the radar of a lot of other clubs by now.
Be interesting to know where both of their thought are, more for next season than this.1 user thanked author for this post.
If Farrell’s loan is not extended, Butler confirmed he has contingency plans. “We’ve got players out there who are on loan, who we can call back. We’ve got a plan B, C and D,” he said.”
Mmmmmm? Who could he mean?

A big test of Butler’a character and development as a leader. If something has gone on between him and Howe, he needs to sort it and get him back. I suspect Howe being hooked against Horsham was the flashpoint for any discord. Then again, Butler seemed to be lukewarm about him from the outset by repeatedly referring to it being his first season as a full time pro.
He’s in contract, he’s had a great season. Get him back.

Listening to AB post match it would appear that getting Howe back is not plan A. It might not even be B or C.

I get the impression Butler’s dying inside every time Ollie mentions Howe’s name.

I am not suggesting any dressing room shenanigans (and this remains no more than speculation) should be public knowledge. However, that doesn’t stop us puzzling over why a no-brainer decision (i.e. recalling Howe) isn’t being enacted.

Looking at bringing another striker in today but Dec seems to be a back burner option if the deal falls through. Seems a strange one, Dec is in form and scoring goals out on loan and with Farrel gone why would you not bring him back, go on AB bring Dec home, give him a chance.
My thoughts as AB:-
Dec isn’t physically right to be a central striker of 3
I don’t want to play 4-4-2
He doesn’t fit anywhere.1 user thanked author for this post.
AB has gone 4-4-2 mid game a few times cass, why not have Dec on the bench as an option, you don’t have to go like for like every time you substitute a player.

If, and it’s a big if, there’s been a bust up, there’s no point in him being recalled if he’s happy at Alty.

Sarcasm aside, that’s a fair point awaywego
