    Surprised with the Davison move, I wonder if that's because Jacko is now looking at Leko as a striker with Matthews being back available. Our balance is weird at the moment. Matthews played at CB when Jacko first started because he was good at pushing out to the right back spot when the RWB was pushing forward. It will be interesting to see if he can take that role off Clare now or if he's the backup RWB. Either way, I feel for Davison. At the start of the season he was looking a lot more useful than Stockley who looked completely lost under Adkins, weirdly so given he was excellent under him the previous season in the same formation. Davison has really laboured under Jackson though and I doubt there's anything left for him under this regime.
    Quite simply, Burstow has replaced Davison who unfortunately has now proved himself surplus to requirements i'd say - i'm also not sure where Leko fits in coz he didn't feature at all on Saturday and i thought DJ was poor and was ripe for being hauled off - wonder if he's on his way or whether jacko is giving him a bit of a wake up call - getting kirk fixed up with another side now also seems quite important coz i just can't see that situation turning around and we need to use this next 3/4 months to sort ourselves out for next year
    Will be interesting to see who is in the squad for the Pompey game, seeing as it's on deadline day. Assuming players haven't left already you may see Kirk, Leko, Gunter etc. not make the trip as they might be involved in a last minute dash somewhere 
    That's potentially awkward timing for us, as the only game on transfer deadline day, and the away team too.

    I guess Gallen will stay behind with the drinks and snacks if we are doing any late business


  • I know you've got a month to do deals, but feels harsh on teams having to play on the day the Transfer Window closes.

    Pompey game was switched for Sky.

    Agreed, feels like it should be designated as a day that no matches can be played. Same in August as well. 
  • Gallen spoke about signing one maybe two more, but given Davison has gone and we seem to be trying to offload Kirk and Souare (and possibly others) that suggests we could bring in more.

    Makes me wonder if Gallen/TS are downplaying expectations. Better to do that and bring in more than say we want three or four and only bring in one more.

    Would be my guess that this is exactly the plan,especially after Sandgaard got (justifiable if overblown) criticism for over hyping things before.

    I think that they are hoping to move a few players on with the HOPE of bringing 3-4 more in but perhaps not expecting 100% success.

    Given the lack of impact on the squad, you could probably lose (for argument's sake) Kirk, Souare, and one out of Gunter/Matthews and not replace them without the squad being much weaker except in pure numbers. 
  • We’re in for Defoe, if you believe those cheeky scamps up north!

  • What’s the updated squad list looking like now, taking into consideration who may leave - in italics 

    GK

    Mac
    Hendo

    RBs

    Matthews
    Gunter

    LBs

    Purrington 
    Castillo (loan)
    Souare

    CBS

    Pearce
    Lavelle
    Inniss
    Famewo
    Clare

    Wingers/wing backs

    DJ
    CBT
    Leko
    Kirk

    Central Midfielders 

    Watson
    Dobson
    Morgan
    Lee
    Gilbey

    Forwards

    Aneke
    Stockley
    Burstow
    Washington 

    Needs trimming a bit I think

    Before Morgan’s last two games, you would say he could’ve potentially gone out on loan, but that’s unlikely now.  If we lose Kirk and Souare, that number goes down to 23 players

  • Forward line looks more than decent at this level if all fit, for next season. 
  • Central midfield looks weak as others have said and personally I think the wingers/wing backs look bad as well, not enough there for a promotion push next season.
  • You have Clare and JFC to come back into that CM category next season but wing backs defo need improving.
  • I think central midfield still looks weak. Especially when we are playing three in there. Watson isn't going to play anymore, Morgan isn't the long term solution and who knows when JFC is back. That leaves very weak competition for three places.
    Watson could do a job, but not with 2 of Morgan and Lee and Watson and Dobson goes back to lacking creativity. 

    Not suggesting he is a solution but he isn't really worth worrying about.  Watson Morgan and Gilbey were quite good for the last 2 and a half hours of last season. 
  • If Stockley and Washington get back to full fitness, I reckon there may be a few games we see Aneke playing just behind them too instead of Lee. Feel like that would only work if we had the movement of Gilbey and Dobson in behind.
  • A media friend mentioned Nile John. Another Spurs link. He's not someone that would make something up, but he is also a rugby union fan.

    Name keeps popping up.

  • Assuming we are still in L1 next year we have the basis of a decent squad in McG, Purrington, Castillo (maybe), Lavelle, Clare, Famewo, Inniss (maybe), DJ, CBT, Dobson, Gilbey, Aneke, Stockley, Washington, Burstow = 15.

    Need to find the star dust first teamers to go alongside them.

    Clare is a right back or right centre back .

    Not sure you can include Famewo.

    If we sign up Matthew’s, Gunter and Watson for next season, then that will really show our ambitions for the season, can we move them on in January, buy one get 2 free?

    The next Charlie Kirk the way he keeps getting rumoured

    Yes, I just bunged Clare into the CB list based on where he’s playing, but he could do a job in central midfield.  I expect he may be okay at RWB too maybe

    I see Clare as our utility man, he’s also done right back at burton, every squad needs these types.
