Might use the first game or two to see how we shape up.
If we get battered every game, I can see us making some panic signings on deadline day.
Can it be deemed a panic buy if there are already plan in place for that possibility a month or more in advance?
If we wouldn't make the purchase if we were decent, I would call it a panic buy still yes.
Like the break glass in case of emergency signings.
What if it's a signing in a position that we need strengthening anyway, but the team we're buying or loaning from don't release the player until later in the window? That's not a "panic buy" at all but by your definition it would be. Can't just use one brush to tar any new signings now

If we sign a player we've been looking at regardless then it's obviously not a panic signing.
If we get another player in a position we've already strengthened and it comes out of the blue on deadline day after a couple of 0-3 losses, then it's a panic buy.
Think we’ve settled the argument whether Apter can play the wingback hybrid role or not
He can but he was being coached a lot by Ramsay throughout the game. Transfermarkt tells me that Baah has played on the left before so I was surprised that they didn't try and switch him. It'd have been interesting to see how we'd have coped with that.

He scored his 2 goals for Rochdale v us from the left.

Just as Ramsay spent some time last season being coached by L Jones about how to be a CB and Macca was being coached by NJ from the sidelines at the same time. He’s learning a new role and a new system at a new club away from the north for the first time. If he can take on board what Ramsay is saying then there won’t be a problem

Two power shots from the left that Ben Amos didn't get a glove on. With all the data available why didn't Pezzolano switch Baah to the left to force Apter into a more defensive position and Ramsey to come wider to leave more space for the other Watford forwards ?
Kwadwo was well frustrated and came on for afters at the end of the match but not with Josh Edwards who he respected as a fine opponent and shock his hand.

This is why I was quite happy with Watford as an opening day opponent, loads of new signings for them and a manager with no championship experience. A manager with experience of English football would have looked at Baah Vs Apter and fancied that match up a lot more than Baah Vs Edwards and used it to pin back Apter as an attacking threat.

Sure he isn’t just filling in until we sign a RWB? Then Apter can be cover on the bench for TC.
“Cover for TC” this is a joke right?
Yeah, some of us said before yesterday’s game Apter is our RWB, and still will be even if we sign one later this window.
Others were saying we couldn’t assume that based on preseason as he might have just been filling in until we sign a RWB, meaning Apter might play elsewhere.

So a Spanish, Italian or French manager wouldn’t have been able to work that out solely because they’ve never managed in The Championship ?

It’s very early days but I thought there was a few times when communication went wrong and neither player was covering the wing. There did seem more overlapping and switching roles then previously between Small and Ramsay , Hopefully this is going to be a great partnership.

Based on yesterday Apter is the better player. Not afraid to take on players, confidence and has a shot on him, out of the two I would want apter to start atm

Best transfer of the season!
