    Roland will be pleased that he has lowered expectations.

    Roland will also be eagerly watching on his laptop tomorrow lunchtime to see what sort of figures he can pencil in for the January sales of Aribo or any other young player who impresses. That’s the extent of his interest/disinterest in us, although I guess he won’t be happy to see us near the bottom of the table, as that will surely reduce any price he gets for the club, should he ever manage to sell it.

    Just saying.

    The journalist that wrote the Independent article suggesting we'll sign a GK and CB "this week".

    However if we get a decent offer for Aribo it'll be accepted.

    Maybe he should just say that or better yet say nothing

    Be the icing on the cake to lose JFC to an ACL and then seeing Aribo sold

    And if we get a positive result, which would include a draw, he'll think we don't need anymore players!

    Surely even RD wouldn't do that. There would be full scale riots and rightly so.

    With JFC crocked I would sign Ince and be hard to break down.

    Surely if Aribo goes before the window with JFC injured ,we do everything we can to get games called off? Only thing that hurts him now is having to spend money. The bigger the fines the club get the more he's gotta pay out

    I notice Andy Lonergan has joined Middlesbrough. Will this make Ripley available?

    Think we'd also need to consider protests in front of EFL HQ as well

    Roland is part of the problem for selling our assets... the EFL are another half of the problem for dragging their feet it seems

    didn't realise he was Stuart Ripley's son.

    If he does come in I hope he doesn't automatically get the gloves because Dillon deserves a shot at it.

    I'd much prefer Ince to a Ward type CH. Cover at least two positions which seems crucial. Reece Oxford on loan? Barely played since rave reviews and can cover 2 or 3 slots.

    He'll be aiming higher than us. Probably the Championship will be the first port of call

    Highly doubt he would come to us after we messed him around last time, reports that we agreed to take him on loan a year or two ago and then we pulled out last minute.

    20 senior games in 4 years. Would he want guaranteed game time which he may not get in 2nd tier? We have a 9 month vacancy for an athletic midfielder, Prem set-up. Can it be hard to sell for a past England international, as manager? Unless Reece used to work in McDonalds.

    I thought Oxford ( not KR) had been playing for Munchgladbach in Germany?

    He’s a midfielder that’s lost his way and needs to get his career going again. Throwing him in at CB probably isn’t what he needs.

    We should be after a CB and CM.
