I honestly expected Dobson rumours as soon as the Coventry/Docherty interest came out last week , am surprised there hasn't been anything yet1 -
Don't know if there's anything to read into it but Lewis Bate isn't involved at all today for a massively rotated Leeds side at Peterborough....2
-
Reams suggesting Bate is our top midfield target, but Leeds want a perm deal not loan!2
-
JCH apparently at their game today.0

If JCH comes here with the right attitude (I’m not questioning it by the way, more pointing out that this will be his last decent wage he can probably earn given his age, I hope he’s not just thinking, one last payday, not too fussed about achieving things on the football field etc), then it’s a good signing. You can’t argue with his record at this level, and he’s a similar age to May, both can still contribute
If he comes, I would expect to see Leaburn off in the summer, providing bids come in. Can’t see our owners likely to have a front 4 of Leaburn, Aneke, JCH and May, and then depending on how we set up, one of May, JCH and Leaburn may not start regularly. Aneke will be lucky to get any minutes, and is lucky we’ve been so tolerant, so the best he can hope for is the sub’s bench.
then begins the massive rebuild of pretty much everyone behind them all. Be great if Dobson stays and has better around him. A bonus if CBT stays as well. After that; every position is up for grabs.
Fraser needs to go and I think he will. McGrandles and Terry Taylor need to play a run of games and play well, particularly McGrandles as he would’ve done 2 years.I’ve seen enough of Hector to know he’s not the man to lead our defence, I’d like to see him go. we don’t know about Jones yet, we’ll have a better idea at the end of the season, but he doesn’t shout “keep me”. The two fullbacks haven’t impressed me, and AMB blows hot and cold.Let’s not get sentimental, but Tyreece Campbell, Ness, Chin, Henry aren’t ever going to make the grade at this level and if they want to build a career I think League 2 is the place to do it.We’re yet again, where we were this time last year and the year before it, needing major surgery3 -

I agree with everything you write Cabbles except TC, who seems to have the raw goods to play at this level, but needs time to develop rather than being relief upon to produce. It's a shame the defensive side of his game is so lacking, though.
It's hard to imagine this window being successful without acquiring JCH. At the moment we need him.

“We have offered two contracts to George and had little back from his agent,” said Scott. “It seems like he’s going to go into the January window and see what options are out there.

We always look much more balanced with TC on the right rather than May.7 -

Some of TC's first touches in recent matches have been awful there have been several times where he has been able to control the ball from simple passes0 -
Ness is a strange one. Last season I'd have said he was destined to be a championship centre back whereas this he looks like he'd struggle in league two. Injury looks to have really done a number on him.2

It’s something fans have done very unjustly(IMHO), for years…….especially here on CL.
We have gone through dozens of managers who were never given the opportunity to succeed and until we have a board of directors who are prepared to put their hands in their pockets in a realistic fashion, this never ceasing scenario will continue.Only time will tell if they can be reasoned with and persuaded to see sense this time round.
I have thought this for many a year, just like those of us who can clearly see the woods for the trees. ☹️2 -
I don't know who the agent for JCH is, but right now he has got us by the balls.
Always be prepared to walk away the saying goes.0 -

No decent manager wanted to come in with the season off to a terrible start, and same for now when the season is over by January.2 -

This would be my concern. Even someone like a Wrexham would probably baulk at Fraser's wages.1 - Sponsored links:

I've cannot recall so much activity so early in a January transfer window. Usually everything takes place at the eleventh hour on the final day. So I'm heartened to see this. More to come, I assume.
Ronnie Schwartz and
Liam Millar
Stockley, Jaiyesimi and Matt Smith (Arsenal) were to follow by the end of the windowSo many sub standard players that have joined our club since due to bad decisions made by the owners.
The dice are still rolling against us.0 -

If we finish bottom six hopefully the yanks will come over and out some of these clowns.0 -

If the club are touting Fraser to clubs then I’m encouraged. I doubt they see either of the two loan lads as direct replacements so to me it implies we’re looking at bringing in a midfielder who can dictate play. I don’t buy into this “we have £1 million to spend”. You don’t advertise that fact up front and with the players we’re supposedly interested in, it’s not enough. I think we’ll see two very decent buys coming in. One presumably Clarke-Harris 🤞 and the other a midfielder. Maybe Coventry. Then it’ll most likely be another couple of loans.0

We'd been touting out Kirk for years as well, doesn't mean there's takers.
Assume Fraser will depart on a loan where we pay the majority of the salary as per usual.9
