I think my comments about Gallagher have been taken to literally to be honest. From the 20 mins I saw of him today, he looks a decent player. He’s got a few tricks & covers plenty of ground. Albie did well when he came on as well. It would be madness to loan him as things stand.

Maybe change heading of thread to “Best Squad” Really? If we get the two Brighton lads I'll be happy but still miles off others in division.

I think it’s 13 players bought in if the Brighton Boys sign , bit unfair picking those 2 out , although you picked 2 of the ones with PL experience...

If the truth be known 100% of posters on here know absolutely diddly about the players. Coming from premier league clubs must mean they're good I suppose........

Very astute , if they’ve played in the Premiership they are shit , if they’ve only played in league 2 they are shit and any from non league are shit... Maybe next window we might sign current players from Barcelona , Inter Milan and PSG..... or will they be shit as never played in this country... 😂😂

So if we were to start the same side as vs Stoke and all players were fit our bench could be....
Amos , Deji , Sarr , Page , Kayal , Oztumer , Aneke
No room at the inn for JFC Lapslie Morgan Field Bonne....
Win/Lose/Draw but that ain’t our “worst squad ever”

The likes of Lapslie & JFC would get into very few Championship squads and both should go out on loan IMO, especially that we are now out of the Cup. Personally I would keep Albie Morgan here as a useful bench player, he has that bit of extra quality.

This elf..... is why there are petty squabbles on here imo , it’s not about who’s right or who’s wrong it’s about the consistency that gets people annoyed... 6 days before the transfer window closes yourself and others want to cane our squad without waiting to see what happens and then in the next instance , you DO want to wait until 15 games are played.. This is the main reason no one takes anything you say seriously...

This is the main reason no one takes anything you say seriously... Fans said the squad wasn’t good enough two weeks ago because it wasn’t. We started the Blackburn game with a midfield 3 of Lapslie, JFC & Pratley, with Morgan coming off the bench. All 4 of those players won’t get much game time now this season.

And you are in a position to comment having attended the game.
Not that I am insinuating for one moment that doggy was not there.

A month on and we have all of a sudden got a good squad.

I agree that the squad was poor then but did not see the need for the panic as (and this has now been proved to be fact) there was still time to improve it...

Doggy thinks I am taking the pee regards giving it 15 games. We need to see how things pan out with the new players, many young and inexperienced.

Why was there any need to panic when both the manager and head of recruitment both stated we would be pulling in four or five? By the end of September after nine or ten games we will all have had a chance to watch the side a few times and give a fair appraisal as to how we are doing. That will also be halfway to the next window when the squad can next be changed. We should also know the story with Hemed plus what our typical gates are - in other words are we back where we were a few seasons back?

Other clubs were homing in on our best players and there were signs that RD was was not going to fund new players. Not sure why people are getting hard on's because we have beaten Stoke and Blackburn. Hard fought wins yes but bigger hurdles await, much bigger.

Elfs is absolutely right. Let’s see what we think of the new players when we’ve seen more of them, 10-15 games in.
Gallagher appears to be a very good signing, but he’s a kid with no experience of men’s football. Kayal is probably the best signing, but we haven’t even seen him play yet. Realistically, the jury has only just retired as far as Leko, Field and Oztumer are concerned.
Don’t think anyone is panicking. There’s a long way to go yet. It’s premature to declare victory.

We have had a good start, BUT a team coming up will normally find things difficult. At the start of the season teams can go up and down very quickly with a run of 5-6 games.

What I've noticed is the players were fighting and had a lot of determination to succeed this season.
Against Stoke, on paper Stoke have a better squad but it doesn't mean they hade the same fight as what we did. We've proved that, especially in the 2nd half that we wanted it more. Bowyer said we'll suprise teams this season and I think he's right.
This is the first time I've seen our team play with fight and belief and we've reached that level since the Premier League days under Curbishley.
