    Bidwell would make sense with plenty of champ experience but I can understand Coventry wanting that down the stretch if JDS got suspended or injured. Brau looked incredibly lightweight against us.

    I don’t think anyone is saying our scouts have been idle or that we havnt got a list of targets. It’s who and how good those targets are and will they be able to come in and improve us. I’d say Dykes and Clarke are nothing much better than we currently have. Not players that are going to impact our season. Getting relegated is going to cost us much more than loosening the purse strings a little more than we would want. I think we’re in a relegation scrap and nothing I’ve seen so far in this window convinces me that’s going to change.
    Dykes already has an assist in a 1-0 win, so well on the way to impacting our season. 

    All good then.

    Some realistic LWB's who are out of contract (possibly) in 2026 are few and far between but there are some out there.  In just over n hour of messing about in Wyscout this evening I've found a few I like the look of.

    Haydon Roberts 23 yo at Bristol City.  Can play LWB / LB / LCB but isnt the biggest so might not be suitable as a replacement for Gillesphey.  Struber has said he is free to leave if he gets an offer but would be equally happy if he chose to stay.  Was a regular before falling out of favour.

    Jeriel Dorsett 23 yo at Reading.  LCB but maybe not attacking enough to be a LWB.  Taller and can play LCB and LB.  We did look at him in the past but his agent never returned the call and we moved on.

    Elliot Stroud 23yo at Mjallby in Sweden.  More of a winger but also covers at wingback but i'd need to see more footage.  Handy eye for goal, takes set pieces well and has a mean diagonal delivery too..  Very sturdy too so would fit in with the rigours of Championship football.  Wouldn't be free but is out of contract at the very end of 2026 so maybe an option.  26 goals and 12 assists in the Swedish top flight in 127 games is a very decent contribution from midfield; however, his side were the surprise winners of the league last season so it would be a big ask to get him to leave there.  That being said the Championship is significantly better by all metrics than the Allsvenskan (crowds, money, values).  Has an English passport too i believe

    I've enjoyed doing this little bit of research as I have not been able to do too much of late.  Maybe I'll ask the club for a job for a little while :-)

    Of course I have no idea what sort of budget we are looking at and I don't know the inner worling of these players at their respective clubs.  But coming up with an "outside the box" option isn't impossible.

    I'm sure we have fingers in many pies but we, as a fanbase, need to remember there are multiple facets to a player transfer (buying club, selling club, the player's wants and the domino effect of other players in the chain).  Things will all become clearer in a couple of weeks, and until then, we need to keep the faith




    Any of them play for Luton in the past?

    That Stroud sounds like an interesting prospect. It would be nice to start looking abroad

    As I said on the Bree thread Rob Apter is left footed so why have we not tried him there? 
    He has played at LWB
    Once. Didnt do a bad job.

    NJ had right footed TC at LWB and left footed Rob at RWB in at least two games. Madness!!! 
    I've been told its called "inverted wingers" and it's all the rage. Also got shouted down by someone saying don't I remember Jonny Robinson playing on his "wrong" foot.

    We can all be relieved that at least Alex Fergusson realised that most of it is baloney otherwise David Beckham or Ryan Giggs wouldn't have got game time for Man U.
    Giggs and Beckham were slightly better at crossing the ball than anyone we have.

    He's just thrown four interceptions in the first half against the Patriots though so I don't think he'd be the answer

    Regarding Edwards possible return WIOTOS, otherwise it's just idle chat...🤔
    It won't be on the official site though will it.
    Jones's policy is to say pretty much fcuk all about injuries, so rumours and hearsay are pretty much all we have

    Is Max Lowe any good.  Takeover of Sheffield Weds not yet gone through and he is out of contract in the summer.
