  • I didn't want Bonne sold because I wasn't sure who we might replace him with. Looking at all the business in its entirety, I think Bowyer is trying to spread the goals through the team. If we pose enough problems, who knows. We do have to remember the level. I do think people respect League One a bit more than they should. 

    The challenge is to get things working quickly. And to become a front foot team again. We certainly should be able to do that. 
    This is very true, if Josh Magennis can get 10+ goals in a season I think nearly anyone can!
  • We've had an 8/10 transfer window for me, the defensive additions have been fantastic. Midfield looks strong too (wish we had got Thomas for another wide option), I know I look like I'm moaning but its only because I think with 1 prolific striker we would've had a chance of pushing for automatic promotion.
    I can't really comment until I see them in action. Always need to seem thin in a red shirt half a dozen times before I can really comment.

    I wonder why Smyth wasn’t included in the Bonne (who we should never have let go) deal? 

    Maybe we just had other targets at that time.

  • We won't be going down. Which is a relief

    But we didn't go up with Magennis up front...
  • Washington is the closest we have to a goalscorer but if both are fit, I would like to see Aneke and Bogle softening up defences and we could be successful. But we do have quite a few ifs in there. 
  • The squad is looking much better than a month ago now let’s get these games going! COYR’s
  • Shinnie and Smyth look like identical twins. Is someone cloning these guys?

    Decent window as far as I'm concerned. On paper we have signed without a shadow of a doubt the most threatening midfielder in this league for the past 4 seasons in Maddison. Nottingham Forests captain who was integral for them, Gunter who has never played at this level? Shinnie who won promotion, a hard nut centre back, Bogle who has moved twice for 7 figure fees, young Chelsea talent and now a nippy forward just in the last few weeks. 

    That is absolutely a good window, you will struggle to find another league 1 side with a better window. I understand selling a player for 2 million and not spending it is frustrating but it probably covers the fees for all the players we have brought in. I also don't like the snobbery I've seen on twitter about Luton, the reality is they've been a better run club than us in recent years and have a better side, that's football, swings and roundabouts. 

    Roll on the rest of the season, very much half glass full 
    Josh Parker has had 2 promotions on the trot and is now a Championship player. 
    That’s like saying Liverpool’s third choice keeper is a premier league winner! Parker has played less than 10 times for Wycombe 
  • Doughty stays?

    As does Phillips at this rate...
  • Whenever I've seen Smyth play I've really rated him, reckon he's slightly quicker than doughty too. Versatility will be useful as gives us a different option up top as well as on the wing.

    QPR don’t use him as a striker so they wanted to sign Adomah / Willock before letting him go on loan.
  • Is that it?
  • Yes, people are being a bit harsh on a player we haven't seen play for us. League One defenders are generally slow and if we do have pace, strength and ability, many of them ought to crumble.
  • Doughty stays?
    Sure looks like it at the moment, which is great news IMHO.
