No idea but it is the right way to go. If he breaks down again and we stick him on a 2 year deal people on here will have a field day!

I also plead for a little patience with him. IF he can get back to any of his previous form he will be a massive addition for us in the long run BUT he is way off match fit and will be rusty even when he finds his legs.

Super has already indicated this and he is at training most days so give the guy a chance before writting him off!

Not in law, although the FA may have their own regulations.

Matt.

I believe it's 17 minutes, which coincidentally is the exact amount of time required for wivel and brucie to write him off as rubbish.

Think it's pay as you play (Old matchly contract.)

Yes - according to the Herald Express, it is a pay-as-you-play contract. This raises a question which no doubt someone on the Forum will be able to answer - does he actually have to play to get paid, or simply be in the squad to get paid? I think most of us were surprised to see he was named as a substitute on Tuesday night as we have been led to believe he is at least a couple of weeks away from match fitness. If Knill included him as a sub simply so that he would be paid, I would suggest that's a dodgy practice at least. If he's named as sub again on Saturday and doesn't play for at least half an hour, I will become very suspicious .......

if it was 17 minutes then he would have been on the same conctract as Leroy was a few years ago. Oh no. that's the long term one isn't it. Leroy was short term wasn't he. 10 minutes.!

What happens if Mozika flops then? Anyone thought about that? Apparently he will come in and suddenly our midfield will be galvanised leaving Knills last desperate throw of the dice in ruins.

It's a bit sad some are pinning our revival hopes on one guy who is not yet near the level we want him to be at.

Again it is undue pressure on the lad I feel.

I don't think anyone is doing that, Andy. Most are pointing out that we have more than our fair share of players out injured and when AK has a full squad to pick from things we should have a team more than capable of pulling away from the relegation zone.

Of course there are no guarantees, but then it isn't yet a certainty we'll go down even if none of them make a return.

Why don't we send Mozika on loan to Bideford for a month to get some matchtime.

On the bench again for today.

Didnt think he exactly looked unfit today. He looked pretty useful to be honest. Give him a couple more starts from the bench at most I would say, and play him alongside Manse who looked good today.

Mozika looked very good in his short time on the pitch today. When fit, he shouldn't have too many problems getting into the side.

Totally agree, he looked very useful, with some games behind, think he's cert to start.

Mozika had only a short time on the pitch did ok but was blowing out his a-- the last few minutes.
