Surely developing the culture should be in the remit of experienced coaches. Money would have been better spent there than on jobs for old mates.
Hasn't Curbs often spoken about the need for good experienced pros in the group. I specially remember Curbs talking about the impact of Di Canio around the training ground setting standards and being the first player to embrace the ice bath...
Not saying either of those players are Di Canio, but good, experienced players willing to put the hard yards in are vital for building that culture amongst the players.
Di Canio now that was a transfer.😀
Dont even mention the class of player we have now. I know you haven’t 👍
If we get Small to sign something similar and do no other business this window... Well thats still a good month in terms of the long term thinking with the squad for me.
Jamie Jellis in the Walsall starting line up for their defeat at Fleetwood tonight.
Asiimwe an unused sub in the same game. Still don’t understand that loan deal. Can’t see him ever playing ahead of their first choice RB Connor Barrett. Seems pointless if he’s not going to get game time.

Curbs shinning over his garden wall to contact him. Old school.
Hylton, Potts, Campbell. Jones' old boys club haven't really worked out have they? Arguably Berry to a lesser extent.
I think Potts and Hylton were far more about bringing Jones's ethos to the club than they were in for playing. They may have worked out just as Jones had hoped.
They did work out as Jones wanted Potts covered Lloyd Jones while he was injured and Hylton covered while Leaburn was injured
Amazing how many people can take the positive (we want to bring in attacking options) and immediately decide there must be a negative linked. We've really been damaged as a fanbase over the last decade or so
A quality CAM and a pacey wideman/striker we can rotate with TC would be ideal. I still wouldn't be that surprised if Kanu goes out on loan just to get him regular games , think injury will ultimately keep Ahadme here.
If Campbell still with us for the season? However ineffective he's been, he may still be needed as without Taylor and Edun our midfield backup options are relatively thin if we have any injuries there. Coventry is also 2 bookings from a 2 match ban.
G Ahadme, A Campbell, T Watson, Z Mitchell and A Henry the only experienced pros not in the squad tonight I think (Z Mitchell a stretch to call experienced).
Exception of Mitchell all the others have had rumours of moving on.
Definitely need some experience in, or a few injuries and we will have the kids back on the bench for our run in.

My thoughts too, although I don't think Kanu will be going out on loan anytime soon. Ahadme injured & Chuks is made of glass so we need back up. Also Kanu looked pretty sharp tonight . Just need a wide player to interchange with TC and a playmaker in midfield.

Isn’t Aaron Henry out on loan somewhere?
Was on loan at Rochdale but had to return through injury

We’re seeing some players leave the club. At the same time, there is the aim to bring a couple more varied attacking options in.
Well that's a good aim... if we actually manage to succeed. Otherwise its back to another Tedic-on-deadline-day situation and that's not exactly ideal.

The key bit from Methven's podcast:

I wonder where he will go ?
Burnley ? They need a goal scorer !
Leaburn going nowhere this window
So true, whereas Gassan is being rested as seen as the future.
