Facts. We didn't come here for facts.

Whoops 😬 It won’t happen again. Sorry 😢 

Essentially two forwards left/leaving. Can always call Josh back can’t we if we get injuries 

Will we replace Smyth?

Tottenham set to recall Troy Parott from millwall as he’s not getting game time, unless they can find him another loan deal.

Surely we’re in for him?!  Pacey forward to replace smyth, gets to stay local, a league below so more chance of game time and I’m sure we were linked last season?

I'd be surprised if there isn't another out and out winger in the door before Monday , can't see it being Randall purely on price .

I don't think we will go for another loan striker because Maatsen, Shinnie, Millar and Famewo will all be in the 18 when fit, probably actually the 11.  So then it's a choice between Stockley or new loan in the squad. 

I think it will be a perm younger midfielder come winger or a center back. 

Never thought of that, makes sense.  I think we will certainly see one come in after Smyth and Bogle both going, winger who can do striker my guess.

Stockley, Schwartz and Millar in Bogle and Smyth out.  I think we are significantly better stocked there now.

You could potentially use the wages to renew Aneke and/or JFCs contracts as well?

Or use it to buy a centre half. 

I already said that

I saw Millar as separate from the forwards in bowyers eyes.  He mentioned 2 starting and 2 on the bench post match the other day, I saw that as Washington, Stockley, Aneke and one of Smyth/Bogle.  Now two of them are gone I think he will reinforce there.

We currently have one CB on half decent form, one off form and 2 injured, one maybe long term.. It has to be a CB in

100% a CB.
Being a League 1 club instead of a Championship club, the chance of getting a good young CB in Pickering at Crewe is a non starter but with Pearce looking very fragile now and Inniss and Famewo emulating Wiggins and Page we desperately need a CB to play alongside the improved Oshilaja. If Ryan and Akin ever get fit then we have 4 to chose from but don't hold your breath on that option. 5 if you include Jason.

We have Millar, Schwartz, Stockley, Washington, Aneke and Williams as attacking players, and Maddison but that may be a lost cause unfortunately.

If I was the owner, I would want to speak to both Marcus and Lee about what the hell is going on. It would be resolved one way or the other.

Weird isn't it Smyth and Bogle have both gone to promotion rivals...

We've been their pre-season. If these rivals are improved by these players, it will be interesting!

January is a difficult window to do business, but we seem to be the only club who are openly trying to move players out to make space for new signings. Two easy punts for clubs to fill up their squad with players who are match fit and already know the league.
