    Looking at the squad we currently have the following:
    GK - Phillips
    FB - Solly, Barnes, Page
    CB - Bauer, Konsa, Tex, Lennon, Sarr, Pearce
    CM - Kashi, Crofts, Jackson, JFC, Aribo
    Attacking midfielders - Holmes, Marshall, Fosu, Clarke, Ceballos
    Strikers - Watt, KAG, Magennis, Novak, Ajose

    Likes of Kennedy, Umerah, Hanlan, Charles-Cook and Dijksteel in reserve too.

    Everyone calling for the GK (Martin), LB (Da Silva) and AM (Reeves) to sign to complete the squad.

    That would mean a squad of 28 players plus the mentioned youngsters. It is turning into a good window but I do worry that we need to shift a few. I just hope we don't fail to offload the unwanted and end up panic selling someone like Konsa for a fraction of the price he should go for.

    Martin
    Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Da Silva
    Kashi, JFC
    Marshall, Reeves, Holmes
    Magennis

    Phillips
    Barnes, Konsa, Lennon, Page
    Crofts, Aribo
    Fosu, Clarke, Ceballos
    Watt

    Would be very happy with the above '2 teams" with Jackson, KAG and Novak completing the full squad. Think it would get us promoted as long as the strikers can get the goals. Would personally bring in another striker and get rid of Watt, wouldn't be surprised if that happens come January. Don't think we need another RB as I would have Konsa there above Barnes if Solly is out.

    Would mean Tex, Sarr and Ajose leaving.

    Can see Tex staying to be honest. No other club is going to pay that salary and if we're going to subsidise his wages just so he can leave, then we might as well keep him.
    Think KR will play Sarr and Ceballos quite a bit pre season so he can make a decision on them.
    Ajose just doesn't fit the style KR wants to play so he'll surely leave.
    Will also mean others can have a look as well.

    I thought it was intresting that Tex played right back. I thought KAG had filled out and put in a good performance as did Aribo. (Only got to watch second half).

    I think you need to grow a sense of humor. How is that for having my own view?

    That's fine. Completely wrong but at least it's your view and you're not claiming to speak for others.

    And it's "humour" : -)

    Could it be that KR has seen Ceballos and suddenly gone cold on Reeves?

    I think you make a good point.If he features well over the next few games he could be the answer.If Kashi stays fit he would be like a new signing for us as he is pure Quality

    Doubt it, he's a player he was openly talking about as far back as January. Still hasn't signed for anyone yet either.

    Thought tex done well at RB. Can't see him getting back in at CB after Sarrs performance first half. Though KAG done well.mom for me.

    I think Aribo edged him. I though his decision making was a bit better and that was a superb pass for Home's goal. Just the sort of attacking play we will be looking for from the 3 front mf.

    Next game against much better opposition will be intresting.

    Was Nabby really any good? What did he do?

    Strange that Lennon didnt feature last night... Is he still recuperating from injury?

    Its strange position to put him in because I thought Teixeira was a left footed CB?

    Could well be.

    This is a player who featured in a lot of games last year for STVV in the Belgian top tier and from reports had a decent enough season. Whilst the Belgian top tier is not seen to be as strong as some of the other countries equivalent leagues it is certainly better than League 1.

    If Ceballos can perform to a decent standard in that league then he should be an asset to KR and the team this season, assuming he has returned to the club with the correct attitude and desire to do well.

    Tex is very comfortable anywhere across the back four.If we can't offload him - then he will s a very useful player to have provided he stays motivated as I can't see KR playing him regularly

    Tex, Bauer and Konsa are right footed, Sarr, Lennon and Pearce left footed.

    Texeira is right footed. I liked the pace the first half team played at. I think Ceballos is a decent player. I also like the look of Fosu, who has quick feet and can run at players. Watt looked fitter than I have seen him. It is difficult to judge Sarr as he had nothing against him. Novak didn't do much at all. Of the second half team I thought Kashi looked rusty as he misplaced a number of passes. Barnes did OK at left back. Ajose was awful and just doesn't fit the system. Ahearne- Grant had an excellent half playing in a withdrawn position and running at the defence. Aribo also played well and holds the ball well.

    The cross on the run from KAG where Magennis fluffed it was excellent. Superb cross

    Karl did go to St Truiden last season and saw Ceballos play well, I believe.

    This isn't a dig cafcfan1990 but with Page being out until October I don't think we should rely on seeing him until after the January transfer window - based on previous long term injuries. if we sign De Silva we might get away with juggling the rest of the squad but I'd be happier with two dedicated left backs on the books that are fit to play.

    Tex has played RB for us before, in the home FA Cup match against MKD I think.

    Really hard to judge CBs (such as Sarr) against such weak opposition, it's like when England play someone like Malta, you know that the 5-0 win gives no indication if Stones is up to the job when we play Germany.

    Even then Ceballos may be seen as one of four wingers rather than the "number 10". There's room in the squad for both.

    Fair point and in an ideal world I agree. Can't see us signing 2 LB's on loan though.

    I think Lennon, Barnes, Edwards and Jackson (lol) will be the cover

    sounds like he is been messed about from the regime to me on budget or they want DP to play and KR is putting his footdown.

    Funny, sounds like nothing of the sort to me. Sounds more like he's in conversation with a couple of clubs about a loan GK and he's told Martin he's got a deal ready for him if he can't get a loan in

    So my best (complete) guess is Robinson wants Martin, Martin wants to come here, contract offer currently well below what he is looking for and he is not prepared to commit at this stage.
