You can't fault Lapslie for effort that's for sure , but not quite ready for the first team as Bowyer has said. Prefer him over Marshall all day long though .
I guess this will see a return to the U23s for Lapslie and Morgan
Cant see them getting much time (outside of the Trophy and FA Cup) with the loanees and returning injured players
Both are promising young talents no doubt but we can't rely on the youngsters we only have 5 pts from 5 games.
Lapslie and Morgan arent the reason we only have five points... The former did more in his cameo than Marshall did for 60mins yesterday!!
They do have a place and may well end up crucial, but the original point still stands... you can't RELY on them. Use them sparingly, yes. Rely, no. For one thing it's the nature of young players breaking through to blow hot and cold, they will always have an off game sometimes and no say as to when this will be. Quite apart from which, it's completely unfair on the players themselves and can do serious harm to their prospects and development (cf. Wagstaff, Scott.)
Could it be Jamie Ward? Is a winger/striker type player that Bowyer is after, isn’t a youngster so helps with experience and Nottingham Forest are trying to shift him out on loan.

Could be a great signing if it were to be him.
Be very happy with him... Would certainly add some needed experience with the other youthful loans were signing
What a great call that was from me if it turns out to be the case, just by doing a little bit of digging, he seemed to fit the bill.
Really hope we do sign Ward and Cullen today, and hopefully O’Kane by the end of the week. Would be great business and all good enough for the Championship, so would make us much stronger.
Always though Ward looked decent but has never scored or created enough goals wfhch has prevented him from being anything over then a champ squad player.
Even at 32 should have it in him to have a decent season at this level
As long we get O’Kane I wouldn’t be too worried about missing out on Cullen (if the above is true).
Aribo has been playing a more holding role than he is used to. Bringing in O’Kane would help Aribo to move further up the pitch and play in that Cullen type role.

Yeah he is great

Seems playing two or three cup games this season will be better than playing in the Football League if so
Only place I have seen it is here
That account has been active for 1 day only
Hopefully he still does sign but with being with involved with West Ham tomorrow, it does put a real question mark on it.
We also have not announced that signing we were meant to be 100% announcing today, so unless it was meant to be Cullen, we are leaving it a bit late.

He's more of a No.10 I thought
Today is a bank Holiday - I doubt many CAFC staff are working
