Personally think that Anderson and Asiimwe deserve a crack at the first team right now. Id loan Henry and Mitchell out for sure.
As it looks like Taylor is heading in then imagine Anderson will go somewhere for 6 months but Asiimwe should be staying 100%.

I hope Kirk shows what a good player he is at another club.

If we ended up signing a striker on loan, would it be worth looking at Dane Scarlett?1

All the time that JRS hasn’t gone anywhere I hold out a tiny glimmer of hope he might come back.12

Potentially of course its possible but I would presume that McGrandles is seen as the more expendable if we have any choice in the matter.seth plum said:If Taylor signs is there a danger we lose Dobbo?
That said we're probably not in a position to turn down a really good offer for Dobson if it comes in, but while I would be sad to see him go on a personal level (and definitely don't WANT him gone) we're no longer in the position where him going pretty much ends our season.0 -
I'd persist with Kirk..
Looked homesick to me in his first season.
Happens a lot. Definitely a player in there. Hopefully he's more settled in his surroundings now and we can get the best out of him.5 -

Why does this keep coming up, he is our cap'n and first name on the team sheet, IF Taylor does sign, he can challenge for a place, but no player should get guaranteed time, so Dobbo has to and will still be our cap'n this season..imo...we can't afford to lose Dobbo that's the bottom lineseth plum said:If Taylor signs is there a danger we lose Dobbo?2 -
OMG I hope not!seth plum said:If Taylor signs is there a danger we lose Dobbo?0 -
Dane Scarlett is probably the profile of striker we'll be looking at on loan , PL loanee that's had a spell somewhere before so isn't totally raw but still needs a lot of work.1

With Sandgaard at the helm most definitely.seth plum said:If Taylor signs is there a danger we lose Dobbo?
This will be one of the litmus tests for the new lot if you ask me.
Having a squad with both Thomas and Dobbo is certainly showing some serious ambition
Competition for places was big on Curbs squads. And I mean serious competition. Not Morgan for Dobbo4 -

Kirk bottled 2 or 3 50/50 challenges , whereas everyone else gave everything. He is a luxury player who should be shown the door ASAP.7

Taylor is happening. Midfield is looking good, mobile, and silky now.33

All of you giving DJ the boot...sure, he's not set SE7 alight at any stage, but if we're playing 3-5-2, doesn't it make sense to have someone knocking around who credibly covers both wing-back positions?6

I really hope we don't move McGrandles on. If we do sign Taylor then we'll have Taylor and Dobson competing for the holding spot, Fraser and Payne at 10 and Camara and McGrandles in the other midfield role. That's some solid squad building there. Henry hasn't shown anything and while Anderson has looked good he's still very young and shouldn't be relied on to push Camara for that spot, especially as Camara isn't that far removed from a serious injury. Ideally Anderson can appear in cup games and here and there in the league. We need to move away from our old system of having a promising youth player and then harming their development by making them essential rather than protected. If Camara gets injured and Anderson gets too much pressure put on him there's a good chance he'll go backwards, same with Asiimwe. Two players in every position with youngsters as extra backups given the chance to stake their claim but not required to, that's the dream.

If anyone does get dropped I wonder if it will be Fraser. Camara doesn't score a lot of goals but he's capable of driving the team forward, as opposed to Fraser who is more about the intricate link up play. I think Holden might prefer that more direct approach with more defensive cover from Dobson and Taylor.3

I do think stuff like this is a great example of how battered we've been as fans. We all scream for cover in every position, especially with our injury record, but then as soon as we sign that competition people start panicking that it means we're losing the player already in that spot, mostly because going back to Roland that has always been the case. The Fraeye 'you only need 11 players to play football' thing has become a club philosophy through multiple owners but it doesn't have to be the case here. If Dobson gets injured or tired or fat or we find a better player then we need that player to come in, and ideally that player will also be quality. When Dobson wasn't doing it for Adkins we panicked and brought in what was left of Harry Arter despite him barely being fit to play. I hope Taylor is so good Dobson doesn't get a look in, because that would mean we've found a great player, but I also hope whichever player keeps the spot is pushed higher and higher knowing there's a proper player waiting on the bench instead of a broken down old man or an 18 year old who hasn't played a league game before. You know, like at a normal club.seth plum said:If Taylor signs is there a danger we lose Dobbo?

Brilliant. Take our most outstanding player in pre-season, the guy knitting most of our outstanding attacking play together, and drop him just when we have a team around him that he might gel withSmithy said:If anyone does get dropped I wonder if it will be Fraser.

I’d get rid of dj and loan out Henry Kanu Mitchell and Chin
id keep Anderson as the 7th midfielder and Asiwme as the right back
it means Hector ness Jones Thomas and deje as our five cb’s Assuming 55 games x 3 played each game they will average 33 games each so I think we are ok there
its do we use Thomas and cbt as the back up left back behind edun
to me we need two forwards to go with may leaburn Campbell cbt and Kirk Completely discounted Aneke2 -
I’m not having a go (well I suppose I am really, apologies), but what would you say are the characteristics of a homesick footballer and how do they differ from say the characteristics of a footballer low on confidence or a footballer that is just plain bad?carly burn said:I'd persist with Kirk..
