    The sad thing is Jones has brought alot of injury prone players at the back that we need to get replacements in and focus on that when it's evident we don't have midfielders and attackers who can pick a pass or change games.lets just battle it out and tread water and hopefully stay up and reset for another scrap next season I guess.
    Well you'll be happy to know the 2 players we've been linked with on loan at the back, Scanlon and Clarke are both just returning from injuries themselves! Yipee!

    But imagine if he came out and said we will be okay, we need to focus on other positions etc etc.

    He is just stating the obvious. Bell and Burke have quality so in his mind it was worth the punt. 
    I don't think Burke has been good enough to warrant the risk especially seeing as his signing came after Bell. Signing one is a risk, signing two is stupid.

    There must be non-injury prone players about that we can afford that are doing well in League One if we can’t shop at this level yet

    Apparently in for Harry Clarke on loan from Ipswich RB-RWB
    I think there’s substance to this. I was snooping and his gf recently followed Lloyd’s. Been seeing southampton fans seem pretty confident they’re getting Bree back to play RCB but not sure if they actually know anything. 
    Pretty sure they both was on Love island together if I’m correct. See guys I’m not just a football chap 😉😎

    NJ in his post match interview is either sending a message to the fans to say don’t worry we know we need players and we’re working on it, or he’s sending a message to the owners to get the money out, hope it’s the former.The club are in a good position to consolidate this season but they need to act aggressively on it.

    They were on different seasons actually 😂 Have ran in similar circles for a while though so I don’t think a recent follow is a coincidence. This is my version of Linda Apter.

    Left back and cente-half massive needs now - if they weren’t already. 
    Can you all form an orderly queue outside the West stand next Saturday where I will be serving up lashings of humble pie for all those who mocked me when I said we should have been more proactive in securing a LWB as soon as the transfer window opened.

    No Mr Hindsight here.

    They're Footballers... They run around, they regularly make contact with the opposition!! - There is always the risk of injury, regardless if its happened to them before or not

    Very few players these days play a full 46-game season.

    So how do you know they haven't been proactive enough? - Or would you be happy with us signing a LWB at the standard of Matt Penny etc.?

    Wonder who would be the first to whinge if rhey weren't good enough

    No need to wonder, he has and will whinge regardless of who we sign.

    The only difference this year is it's not "We must sign a 30 goal a season striker"

    He doesn't understand what proactive means either.

    With respect Golfie, it was mentioned umpteen times that we needed a LWB through the door.

    It has also been mentioned that the complexity of transfers can hold things up. If you want a loan player, the parent club wont do anything until they are 100% sure the squad they have is fully fit with no injury worries of there own.

    Plus January is widely known for overpriced dross. I'd rather the club took the time to get it right rather than panic and buy badly.
  • I’m still convinced Fullah will be off. Why not bring him on last night for TC.

    Because getting absolutely trounced by several hundred million pounds worth of players in a game we'd more or less already lost would not really be of benefit to a teenager breaking through, nor would he make any difference.

    The Rousillon signing was odd as well. Signed an unfit injured player to replace an injured player. Would have been better off giving an academy lad a chance instead. Gough hasn’t looked out of place at all.

    No one understands football less than that guy. Skip past his comments without fail, it’s a drain

    I know NJ has kinda prefaced it with " we needed anyone in as cover and he was the only guy out there" but that just makes it even more stupid. He's been here since what end of November and has made a couple of U21s appearances and still looks nowhere near fit enough to contribute. 

    Bar Wickham scoring away at Cambridge have any of these short term contracts done anything decent? 
  • Pushing Bell to LWB yesterday feels like a decision that is going to cost us points and in doing so could be season defining. Apter or Fullah on the bench just to run with their pacy winger was what we needed. No injuries should have been the first priority and now we are going to struggle to replace

    Could have put him on for Carey. I do think NJ is holding Fullah back a lot more than he should be.

    Do we have to form a queue outside the West stand because you're finally leaving this forum like you promised you would if we sold Alfie May? It's weird that you don't keep bringing that up for some reason..

    Bree has I suppose but usually not, as they’re unfit or recovering from injury most of the time, which is why they’re available.

    Thierry Small was pretty good, the only regret is we didn't have a longer option in the contract after his initial half season

    Burke was fit last night but did not risk him like they should have done with Bell .. Godden was withdrawn from the bench as again it was decided it would do him any favours sitting in freezing conditions for 80 mins then coming on

    Yeah I'd forgotten Small was initially end of season + club option.
