    Quite like the experience of Pearce and Gunter in a backline together. No nonsense defenders.

    Here's Chris Gunther's fan club:

    To be fair Gunter is the reason Matthews didn’t get a look in for Wales.

    If Matthews wants Championship football (fair enough) and is holding on for a move their, then we need to move on as well. If Gunter wants to sign for us and Bowyer wants/wanted him, then great news

    I understand that, last year we relied on Matthews * going forwards but it seems our League One gameplan is to have defensive full backs in Gunter and Purrington(assuming it's true). 280 Championship appearances for Gunter, can't be bad for League One level.

    Just annoying as Luton fans won't stop piping up about Lockyer, now they'll pipe up about us not re-signing Matthews to replace him

    Why would we replace Lockyer with Matthews?

    This was during the one out one in transfer embargo, not an issue now for us but they'll love it

    It's a funny thing ...... I always thought Bowyer liked attacking fullbacks, getting forward on the overlap  and putting crosses in?

    It was a big feature of our title winning season under Chris Powell also, with Solly and Wiggins.

    It's definately been our gameplan this far, but Purrington/Gunter are not that so either his hands are tied on transfers and getting in the best he can, or the gameplan has changed this year.

    Doubt he's match fit, so he'll fit right in.
    I doubt anyone we sign before midday tomorrow would play against Sunderland. Too short notice re playing style etc. We then have 2 weeks before our next match so all the newbies will be well up to speed by then. 

    Our season starts against Wigan. 
    I disagree. He’ll feature for sure. Maybe not start but definitely off the bench. Anyway what’s this playing style you mention?

    Matthews isn't an attacking full-back either

    Would rather Matthews over Gunter everyday of the week.

    He used to run that wing last year, not sure how you can claim this.

    Chris Gunter is the right back. Has been at Sparrows lane and The Valley today.
    Spurs-supporting friend says he’ll be good for us.

    The signing of Maddison changes things I reckon. If you have him, Doughty and Gilbey in the team, the full backs shouldn’t need to be too expansive.

    Maddison and Oztumer have been in my top six most impressive players I have seen in League 1when we have been in it. Two of the other 4 played for us.

    Together they could be magic.
    So could Tommy Cooper

    I thought Gunter was reasonably attacking

    I'd take Matthews or Gunter tbf. No moaning from me if we get either of them.

    Very good defensively, but was hardly swinging in loads of dangerous crosses in attack.

    You don't belong on this forum with that attitude!!!
    I'll try harder. Sorry.

    I’d rather we signed Matthews now, as he’d still be able to do a job in the Europa League in 12 years time.

    Same. But if Matthews doesn’t want to sign, then we have to look elsewhere.

    Not sure about Gunter, he’d definitely be good at this level but I was hoping for a younger option. I trust whatever Bowyer wants
