Agreed. I said in the summer we should have got ourselves a league 1 LB on a 1 year contract. I'm sure there are a few out there who fancy a go at the championship and back themselves to improve even on low wages. Would have been better than getting Hernandez and Rousillon in outside the window.Croydon said:
But that's the issue, we signed them knowing we wouldn't then get the depth required. If we were only able bring in the two bodies then getting two with such patchy injuries records was a stupid decision.cantersaddick said:
I don't have a problem signing them both. It was expecting them both to cover 2 positions without proper depth was the issue. If Bell was LCB with Gilly and we had Edwards and another as options at LWB it would have been fine. At a push Josh can also cover LCB. Same with Burke as the only backup to Ramsay and Jones. We've been lucky Jones hasn't missed a game. Proper depth and you can have a couple injury prone like them. But if you have them you absolutely cannot skimp out on depth.Croydon said:
I don't think Burke has been good enough to warrant the risk especially seeing as his signing came after Bell. Signing one is a risk, signing two is stupid.king addick said:But imagine if he came out and said we will be okay, we need to focus on other positions etc etc.
He is just stating the obvious. Bell and Burke have quality so in his mind it was worth the punt.1 -
Guess injuries and our abysmal record with signing anyone from Ipswich in recent years are a nagging thing with Clarke.1

And likely the reason Will Abbott walked away as he wasn’t listened to.Croydon said:

Think after yesterday and the knocks bell has picked up etc we have to see some movement this week.4

And it's not as if our other summer signings were players with poor fitness records, it's only in defence where we've gambled. Rankin-Costello, Carey, Apter, Kaminski and Tanto have all been fully fit all season, Knibbs once he recovered from the issue he had in the summer hasn't been injured, and while Kelman picked up an injury, he has a good history.cantersaddick said:

In an ideal world Oxford go down, we stay up and we get Jack Currie at a discounted price that sorts us out long term11

and they signed a young full back on loan two days ago.PBr said:Across the Championship most clubs are listing several players injured and a few long term. Sheffield United will probably have half a dozen players out for this Saturday. It’s simply not possible to avoid it. Just part of the game and players get injured in training or in the case of Cole Palmer at home. They have to play matches to stay fully fit and many clubs don’t have the squads to rotate. I don’t blame Jones, it’s bad luck but it happens.0 -
Why? He isn’t starting anymore for a Wimbledon team whose form has drastically fallensm said:

Yes, but he’s also our player and will be after this season when he’ll be looking to break into the team after a season in league one. Do we want another left back in the team ahead of him stifling his development? Might just be better to recall him.AGarrymanilow said:

Explosive news!!charltonbob said:
Exocet Two is signing? fantastic news, speedy with an explosive finish!RonnieMoore said:
Did not expect any movement until next week21cws said:
The sad thing is no 😅king addick said:
Did you expect any different? 🤣21cws said:Yep no rumours just debates on our own players, love this thread
at the earliest even if the loan player has passed his medical unlikely we would register him till this week .. look back in previous windows 99.9 per cent of moves are loans lot of these don’t happen till later in the window .. I Exocet two in this week once the cup match is out the way1 -
Anyone got an idea how Asiimwe is fairing at Wimbledon...😉3

I have no idea. Just a rumour but I think he is out of form and can't get into Wimbledon's team who are struggling apparently LOL.eastterrace6168 said:Anyone got an idea how Asiimwe is fairing at Wimbledon...😉2 -

Firstly he is not a left back, secondly, he isn't even getting in the Wimbledon team at the moment. He will go on to have a professional career, but it won't be at championship levelDiebythesword said:

He’s 21 and has had a good half a season at league 1 level. Ridiculous to be writing him off as not ever being championship level. I’d expect him to easily make it to the championship. Good chance he’s in our squad next season if he has a good second half of the season, if not maybe he’s another year away but at 21 he’s got ages to make the jump from league 1 to championshipCAFCsayer said:

He’s out of the Wimbledon side at the moment because his form has dropped off because he needs a rest. He’s never played a full season of regular football before, and was playing pretty much every minute of every game for them at wing back which is obviously a position that requires a lot of running. This was to be expected and overall he’s still had a great season so far, I’m sure he will be back in the Wimbledon team soon now he’s had a breather10 -

Recall him to what end? He’s our player but he’ll benefit from the experience of playing more regularly in L1 this season. He’s nowhere near ready for the Championship and bringing him back would just see him sat on the bench at best. We need someone to come in and be able to cover RWB and RCB nowDiebythesword said:

Watching QPR/West Ham.
Their LWB, Ezra Mayers looks like he could be a decent option.1 -

New strategy….sign a bunch of defensive players who are injury prone but should be back fit when another gets injured….Covered_End_Lad said:The other positive about Clarke is that it should be realistic to get him on a permanent deal in the summer if he does well, only 24 and still best years ahead of him - he’s quick too. Concern is that at his young age has already had a number of injuries and our squad has too many players in this category already. I guess if he can prove his fitness by staying injury free for the rest of the season it may be less of a gamble.0
