Sounds like the takeover just took a little too long with the players we were after which means we've either lost out or we've just got to talk to them again
Since performance bonuses such as for promotions are exempt from the wage cap maybe we fan get around it by offering some new signings a big fee if their performance is bad enough to get knocked out of the EFL trophy
The players we have got aren't the problem. Stop trying to judge players based on an unbalanced team. The world and his wife can see we need a goal scorer. I would expect Bonne and Washington would say so them selves.
We can't play 1 up top because we don't have anyone that can play that role. We have 3 number tens who are more than good enough to play in this league. We have no right sided center back or right back.
Look what a different team we looked when Purrington came in last time we were in this division. He wasn't Roberto Carlos but playing with an actual left back made a big difference.
It's balance, and numbers at the back, that we need. We will get them over the next ten days and the players playing now will look completely different.
Been saying this from day one. Schwarz might do ok (better than Bonne) but we still need a poacher to finish off half chances in the box.
Until we do we wont be getting out of this division.
Like who? Sunderland thought they were getting that from Grigg (for about 6million over 2 years including wages) and it didn't work out. It's not that simple.
I wonder if Brentford would loan out Marcus Forss again? 11 in 18 for AFC Wimbledon last season.
Need a 9, Bonne will look better for it, as will Washington, it’s a buyers market, especially in L1 and 2, so we could end up getting someone decent for the right money

I agree, and that's why it's not working out playing 433 because we only have Doughty who is probably better playing in a 442. Got to go back to the diamond for me and play Pratley, Watson, Gilbey and Williams.
We need a side as good as the one we had 18/19, it’s as simple as that. IMO, it MUST be a big couple of weeks in the window for us to have a chance of going up, I’m not saying TS has got to make it happen this quick, I’m just saying if he doesn’t want this seasons aim written off already:
18/19 v 20/21
Phillips v Amos. 18/19 Djiksteel v Matthews (🙏🏻). 20/21 Purrington v Purrington. n/a Bauer v Oshilaja 18/19 Sarr v Famewo 18/19 (could be wrong) Bielik v Pratley/Watson 18/19 Cullen v Gilbey 18/19 (like AG but JC is JC) Aribo v Levitt 18/19 Williams v Doughty - Taylor v Bonne 18/19 Parker v Washington 20/21
So the posters saying we need this, this, that, that, this, that, are correct if we’re seriously considering going up this season.

I actually think Doughty is part of the problem. In the fact you either play him, or play a system that better suits the rest of the squad more.
I think with Doughty in the side we are one of the only teams that have an old fashioned winger. He crosses the ball so much that we could do with a big lump up front, how many headers has Bonne not put away this season.

Your comparing apples and oranges though. You might be proved right come the end of the season but you can't compare the whole of Bielik or Cullen's season against 20 minutes of Watson and about 120 minutes of Levitt can you?
If/when we get replacements for Dijksteel, BFG and Taylor the balance between the comparison may look very different.
Also if at the start of the 18/19 anyone claiming Phillips was a better keeper than Amos would have been told to "give their head a wobble".

For once will that competition give us a chance to put minutes into players?
Naby Sarr is under the same restrictions @ Huddersfield after being out of the country
I had thought he was training with us and ready to sign.
Until we do we wont be getting out of this division.

I'm going to assume you've never once seen him play.
