Just throwing the type of name I could see happening, Andrew Moran from Brighton - had half a season in the States on loan with LAFC and championship spells with Blackburn and Stoke. CM that can also play wide or RWB. 

Would he such an us signing as I think he's been average as hell at both Stoke & Blackburn, kind of player that's here for 6 months and then gone by the summer 

Wouldn’t an average championship midfielder be an upgrade though?

Coventry isn’t lightweight. He is a work horse who does so much ugly work for the team and breaks up play. He can actually pick a pass, he played a couple of great forward balls on Tuesday against Derby. I think the issue is that he is instructed to play sideways 

I think he was 3rd in the league for Tackles per 90 Minutes last season... This season in the Championship, he's 129th. 

He's also in the bottom 30% of midfielders for losing his duels. 

His interception rate is decent, on the other hand. 

Think he's struggling to make deal with the extra physicality of players at this level. Not quite winning the ball back for us like be was in L1. 

Think we really need a midfield destroyer type in there next to him, rather than a playmaker that people seem to be asking for. Our whole midfield is too soft for this level.  Shame he’s gone to Pompey as Ebou Adams would have been perfect for us

We're trying to play a physical brand of football but most teams at this level have more physicality than us. 

NJ seems to be under the impression that just working hard will win games.

I cannot believe the owners have just withdrawn investment in a critical window as this. Oxford have set the tone by giving it a go. 

Where does this nonsense come from, people need to get off Facebook groups

Don’t need Facebook groups pal! Investment was crucial in January and nothing has transpired

Like Rankin-Costello?

Oxford have mainly brought in loans? Donley, Peart-Harris and Konak are all on loan. It's only McDonnell and Jeon the south Korean winger that are permanents. 

So two more permanent signings more than us then?

Portsmouth and Oxford have so far had better transfer windows than we have. That has to change in the next 8 days

Sorry but if the extent of your transfer window is to loan a non scoring target man and a young player with no games for months then you haven’t had a transfer window. A massive week for us is now needed

Who said the owners have withdrawn investment ?

Who have they bought in January?

by that logic I must have become a tree hugging environmentalist because I haven't bought any petrol for a fortnight.

Yes, he’s better than all but maybe one of our midfield

Yeah he looked it yesterday, making a whopping 5 more passes than Karoy Anderson in 30 more minutes on the pitch with a lower completion rate, so actually only delivered 1 more pass than Karoy

You could also say that he’s scored more goals than Coventry, Doc & Anderson put together in significantly less minutes.

Significantly less minutes than Karoy? Comparing him to Cov who we know is there to hold? And Doc who is seemingly off to the level below? JRC has had a 2 good games in 13 appearances, I would love it if he could be more consistent (possibly Nath is not helping him by not letting him play into any kind of form) but we've also seen him put in a number of stinking displays. Don't think anyone was clamouring for him before the Portsmouth & Coventry games

we need an injection of pace in the side. We are such a slow, one paced XL.

We can't hurt teams as we don't pass the ball but even worse we only have TC who can beat a man an absoloutely nobody that can go past a player and worry defenders.

JRS would be perfect in the 10 role or somebody similar and then ideally a WB who can do that same. The a mobile ball winner in CM and a CB for cover please.

Given that Dykes and Clark were established Championship players (and played in the Prem too), they wont have been playing for Peanuts, so even if they are only on £10K a week that's still half a million quid a year each plus the employment overheads (maybe agent costs too).

The next 8 days of the window are crucial, strongly believe we need to revert to the hybrid 352/4231 that was working so well last season and start of this season. Kelman/Godden need to be in the striker position alongside TC then having leaburn and dykes off the bench we desperately miss the press from the front. Bell back at full fitness is a must and could be the difference between relegation and staying up. This week a centre midfielder who can breach the gap between Coventry and Carey has to be signed owners need to pull the chequebook out. Chambers and Clarke with more game time will be good additions to the team us staying up is crucial for the future of the club.
