    LB may need to consider a change of formation. We have a wealth of good attacking midfielders and no strikers. 4-2-3-1 anyone?

    no no no - looked much better with Reeco upfront at end of the Posh game.

    Couple of million quid in the bank for Roland to offset his (loan) losses then.

    Can't be so. @Doucher said one permanent and one loan.

    Why does anybody believe Roland would spend money.

    Surprise surprise, we lose two strikers, then we have one coming back from a long term injury and another one is suspended for a couple more games, and we only bring in one on loan.

    Anyone care to stick up for Roland anymore?

    I wasn’t expecting him to spend money but maybe we could’ve done something similar to the Williams deal.

    This window has well and truly weakened us up front.

    He's seen Mo Eisa. In Asda. At 7am.
    Done deal.
    Then someone replied saying he’d seen Eisa at Charlton station.
    So Asda at 7 or 7:30, then a train to Charlton station. Where he was seen at 8am.

    Obviously he would have insisted on taking the train to ingratiate himself with Charlton fans.
    Carriage number?

    And the reality is, we haven't even managed that yet. I imagine we are in quite a competitive market.

    Hmmm, trashed his flat after personal problems from a break up of a relationship. Not the crime of the century, sounds a bit hot headed, needs a manager who can relate to him and give him best advice from his own personal experiences...................I know just the man.

    If this incoming player is better than Ajose (which he will be) and maybe even better than Grant (which is possible) then I'd hardly say we've been weakened up front.

    As I say, the issue is whether the player comes in. Let's stay hopeful.

    jason cummings linked - a player who on loan at peterboro is being sent back to his parent club because he is causing problems, hes also scottish so this seasons tony watt

    Very similar to Tony magic feet Watt in that Cummings was very highly rated as a youngster playing for the Scottish schools and scoring at Hibernian. The problem is off the field where it sounds like he gets bored. Social media clips of him smashing up his flat with TV being lobbed out the window and Barry Fry saying he has no future at Posh.

    Football wise when he is focused he is a good player.

    Hmmm that's all we're trying to do....is that frustration or Bowyer's plan?

    Grant has 14 goals in 28 games

    Have you actually checked just HOW MANY players have scored more in this division this season.....

    I agree, but there were also comments from Evans regarding his drinking.

    As Bows said though “everyone needs a second chance”.

    So typical RD gives us the bare minimum.
    Which weakens our promotion chances - no wonder the Aussies have defected to Notts County.

    If we only bring one in, no matter what way you look at it, even if this player is better than Grant (which is unlikely otherwise he wouldn’t be coming down to us on deadline day) we will still be weaker.

    Before January we had Taylor, Grant, Ajose and Vetokele not including Reeco as he hadn’t been involved really. Now we have Taylor who is suspended still, Vetokele who isn’t fit and Reeco who is still extremely raw. Even if we bring in one striker, we are weaker.

    He's done well. But why is he 12th in our season player ratings? You say it like its impossible that we'll find a player that helps the team play better. I'd say it's eminently possible.

    If bowyer said to Cawley that he doesn’t want the name going public then it can’t be Eisa right? As that name was public when they last spoke?!

    Taylor is suspended for two more games. Then he is unleashed on a tiring and increasingly stretched division

    Yep and one of Bowyers main requirements will be the lad fitting into the group so I'm sure he will weigh it all up and make the right call.

    So there we have it..another potential loan signing and that’s it..which doesn’t surprise me one bit!

    Some fans need to get a grip if they ever thought we’d get the likes of Tom Eaves

    ROLAND JUST SELL THE CLUB!!!!!
  • I am confused, were we not looking to bring another striker before Grant was even linked with a move? so all this Bowyer will get any funds we get from the sale of Grant is complete cobblers and another £1.5m gets trousered or off-set to continue this shit show of incompetence.

    Eaves would be handy back-up to Taylor but he isn't the pacy forward we're after

    You're saying the player ratings are a more valid measurement of his ability than his goals and assists? Alice in Wonderland stuff.
