    New signing to be unveiled at Solly testimonial tomorrow. Won't play but will be announced to crowd. 
    Is this a hunch or inside info?
    Hunch.
    Why announce something like that and then say it's just a hunch? 
    Chill Winston.

    Slightly more worrying quote from Bowyer:

    Bow: “People are laughing at us. Agents laughing saying ‘how are you supposed to compete?’

    And There in lies the problem, Roland are you listening?
    Doubtful and if even if he was, he couldn’t give a toss.

    25p more next Friday will do it 
  • As mentioned by @cabbles I am certain we will stay up this season. We will get the bare minimum to keep us competitive. Bowyer and the boys will get 100% backing which should see us over the line.

    There’s plenty of teams in our division, Birmingham, Reading etc who will hate playing in front of their own fans when we go 1-0 up against them and will make it a horrible environment for them.

    Let's get a few in first, then we can all be a bit more bullish about it.

    Woefully short, this team is worse than the one we had in May, by a long way. 
    Agreed but it was also better then the team we had in August that year.

    I still think we will get 4 decent loans in and have ago at it.
    But it needs to be much better than last August’s team as we are in a higher division!

    Could Bow walk?

    i doubt he will but it depends how long he can take people laughing at him because of Rolands fucking bollox budget. The frustration will build up and maybe a tilt point could happen

    Will Dijksteel be sold?
    I think his name is Anfernee

    I don’t think he would walk, look what happened only this time last month and how everything went mental.

    I do however, believe if he was to threaten Roland of walking, Roland would know the backlash would be so huge it might eventually get him to rethink and give that extra we need to be able to bring in the quality to compete.

    I don’t think that’s going to happen though. Instead, somehow, Bow will continue to graft and will pull something out the bag before the deadline. Whether it’ll be enough, I’m really not sure, but I have faith in him and Gallen too.

    Could Bow walk?
    No. He said we’d have 4/5 loans weeks ago and he also said they come in late in the window. So he knew we’d be in this position and with our budget I’m sure he also knew bringing in players would be difficult.

    After watching today's game I think our season could depend on the quality of the loan signings definitely need some midfielders that are similar if not better than Bielik and Cullen and I think we also lack a bit of pace upfront

    I can't see him walking. It's going to be a tough season but he knew that. No doubt at all how difficult it is signing players but again he knew the budget. He deserves better after what he helped achieve last season but unfortunately under our shit owner it's just never going to happen. It's making the best out of a bad situation until he pisses off.

    We lack bodies up front. Pace would be nice but Taylor and Bonne are mobile enough for the champ. Villa had Ming's and konsa at centre back who cost over £30m between them. Doubt many championship centre backs will be as quick and strong.

    Momentum is so huge for a club like ours.
    But from LB’s post match presser it sounds like history is repeating itself.
    When we went up from league one last time, Powell wasn’t backed in the transfer market but still got us to within 3pts of the playoffs. All on momentum. 
    Now Bowyer has said this:

    “There's some good players that have slipped through our fingers but that's the hard thing to accept because I do believe, if we really had a go, then I think we could do really well in this league.”

    These missed opportunities are agonising

    Aaron Connelly - young lad from BHA, was at Luton last year. 
    Thinking about us or Gills. 
    Two sub appearances for Luton and 19 years old. Is he really the sort of player we’re after to try to keep us up in the Championship?
    When for £15k a week you can have Beilik. 
    And therein lies the problem. 
    £15k per week plus a £3-6M transfer fee. He ain't being loaned again. He is being sold.

    Looking at the free agent list, the only players who might be decent for us are Will Keane, Will Buckley, Josh Mcheeran, gary hooper, Tom Adeyemi, Jason Puncheon, Ben Marshall, danny williams, Youssouf Mulumbu, Marvin Emnes
  • Callumcafc

    Mulumbu isn’t a bad shout for a bit of experience. Otherwise I’d take a look at Williams and Adeyemi. The rest don’t interest me at all.

    Hooper would be good
    Trouble is they’ll all expect more than the £8.50 an hour we’re offering.

    I doubt it's that high.

    Pinning all of our hopes on some hypothetical, completely unknown loan signings is a terrible way to be going into the season.
  • The problem I have with it all (and I trust Steve Gallen to the hilt) is that I expect the list they drew up is now empty. All the players have probably spoken to us, heard what wd are willing to pay & have just turned their backs on us. 

    I'm not expecting anyone decent coming in & for us to be picking up the Josh Parker's of this world on transfer deadline day.  Some of the names I have read on here lately (19 yr old from BHA, some striker no-ones heard of from.Arsenal (not neketiah)) is frightening. We need 2 or 3 experienced Championship players to add to the 2 or 3 kids we will be signing on loan. 
    And there's the problem.

    You simply aren't going to find that many experienced championship players for 5k a week, unless they're old, out of contract, have a poor injury record, or all of the above.
  • We have a L1 squad playing in the Championship - LB will do well to keep them up. Relying on last minute cheap loans is worrying.

    Stoke and WBA in talks. He would love to come back to us but we can’t pay. So I guess we have to move on. Pity.

    Something for LB to point to when trying to get players in on loan...a season with Charlton in L1 and your PL boss thinks you are ready to be in a PL squad... and now Charlton are in the Championship so even more reason to come here on loan

    I agree but things looked pretty grim at the start of last season when Charlton couldn’t fill the subs bench.

    We're in the Championship this season so much more worrying.
