    Brilliant 😂

    If we sign these players, and this bloke still can't pick up a win in 10 attempts, something is seriously wrong 
    From what Rodwell was saying, he will be judged from February onwards (maybe a bit earlier now tbf). 

    That to me sounded like if we don’t start doing well once we’ve got these signings then he will get sacked

                        NEW
            NEW Jones Gillesphey 
    NEW   Coventry Dobson  NEW
                        Collins
                 Ladapo May 

    We get those 4 signings right in the summer, we win the league. 
    Don’t need wingbacks Watson and Edun are excellent young players who will only get better their problem is the players they had in front of them not tracking back ..

    And so he should. If you're heavily backed and still don't get results then you can have no complaints if you're sacked.

    Gonna put this out there. Ladapo, Ikpeazu up top and Alfie in the 10?

    For those wanting Lewis Bate, he’s joining MK Dons on loan

    I personally think Corey leaving will bring out the best in Tayo Edun.

    Corey's inability and unwillingness to offer ANY defensive assistance often leaves Tayo overloaded so wingback will probably suit him as he'll have a left sided centre back to cover him when he goes forward as long as we have sufficiently smart and mobile  central midfielders to drop in and cover any gaps that may leave.
    That second half against Peterborough was very decent to watch and gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, we might be on to something with a 3-5-2

    Colour me excited :smiley:
    I agree, I think it’s a natural wing back as opposed to a full back. The only thing I’d like him to do more is whip in a cross, there were a few times when he checked back onto his right foot against P’Boro in the second half.

    The position I’d be looking to strengthen in the summer is RWB. Not sure Watson is good enough.

    Amazed he's only getting a league 2 gig if true
  • Lewis Bate to MK. 

    That’s a big drop for a player I thought would definitely go to a League One side

    I think they will be better suited to wing back, we will see over the next few months. But we will still need to sign AT LEAST one wing back in the summer. So might as well aim to bring in better than we have got

    We have Asiimwe to cover Watson, who would you play left wing back if Edun is unavailable?

    Watson is 27 in 2 months, and Edun is 26 before the end of the season. players closer to 30 than 20 are not young players. I think both are fine as squad players but if we want to challenge at the top we need better next season.

    so potentially we could have 5 players being announced today:

    Goalkeeper - Ward
    Defender - Edmonds-Green
    Midfielder - Collins
    Striker - Ladapo
    Striker - Ikpeazu

    or have I got this wrong?

    Personally, I’d have this the other way around.

    Dont think Collins is close to being done - Just one we're working on

    Today potentially 3 - Ward, Ladapo, Ikpeazu and even that would be a miracle for one day.

    No one has said Collins today.. 

    a bid has or is going in, if it is acceptable that is another matter yet. It is a sizeable offer that’s for sure

    If they take the piss then this could be one for the summer when he’s only got 12 months left

    I can see there being a lot more competition looking to sign him then, if they really want him, would be best to go after him now and just paying the premium.

    All these signings are great but there's no good having a formula one car if you’re going to get Mr Bean to drive it.
    Even Mr Bean would have probably switched to 2 up top a few weeks before Appleton

    100% - Neither are good enough if we want a strong promotion winning team next season and neither will cut it in the Champ if we get there. 

    After what he did last week for their goal, I want Watson dropped for the foreseeable.

    Interested to hear your thoughts @DubaiCAFC why do you think there has been such a change in approach/intent this month compared to the summer? 

    Has more money been put into the group? Did we underestimate what was needed and have now reassessed? Did one of the larger investors get the football bug and want to put more in?

    I think Mr Bean will have to have a really good points return from now until the end of the season to show that he is the man to deliver promotion next season. Currently 19 points off the play off positions if I were the SMT I'd want us to finish within 6 points of them at the end of the season for him to be in charge for the start of next season (although even then I still wouldn't be convinced he is the man for the job but the SMT might).

    19 points off the play offs is absolutely crazy.

    Where was Conor?😆
  • Simple answer, the new owners did not have enough time to research new players after taking over and the transfer window closing.
