Regarding Terry Taylor.
We must be waiting to complete a deal of our own before letting him move out on loan or even a perm.
Would be a good bit of business swopping a player who plays in a position we have plenty of cover in for a more attacking option.
Same with Fraser.

Would be a good bit of business swopping a player who plays in a position we have plenty of cover in for a more attacking option. Same with Fraser. There's also the questions of which clubs are bidding, what % of wages they offer and what the players want so as to enhance their futures. We've seen the team selection tonight which brings more clarity as to who simply won't feature these next six months. A few quid coming in should be appreciated but it's the loan deals coming in that might change our options significantly. |

So come on then chaps. Hands up......who still doesn't think we need a CAM?
I'll tell you something else, I also think we need alot more all over the pitch than I did prior to kick off tonight.
Some want away performances in among others that are not up to the level.

I am starting to think as I'm sure a previous poster suggested that the smt are casting a line this year more in hope than expectation. I do rate our signings as players I'm happy to have on board. I think they want the kids pushed to hard and early again as a gamble. Fair enough but if we were serious going for it for me were 4 decent signings short.

Big worry is the midfield they are all the same type players run and chase but no real quality. After tonight Small is way behind Edwards getting back in the team and please can Watson be 1 of the players to leave not good enough. |

Lee, Asgard and others who would improve us. The big question is will the boat be pushed out.

The only boat they have mate is the lifeboat for when the delusional 8-8-8 gimmick goes spectacular wrong. It's already on it's way given the lack of quality and creativity that has been brought in. Fans won't take much more nonsense. |

Some want away performances in among others that are not up to the level. Every game played this month will educate the fans, management and investors. Mannion looked OK; Zak Mitchell sound; plus Coventry and Anderson delivery was consistent with that which we already know. Not gonna comment on weaknesses coz I can wait until after the Orient game. We're not a top four side - neither are we mid-table / bottom half. No, we're at that incredibly frustrating phase where we absolutely need the club to address matters THIS window. |

Have we really spend any money this season. The money we got from May must have nearly if not all what we have laid out this summer to date. Again we can't be looking at not spending any money on good players and get promoted. Frees don't always just cut it.

This needs to happen and quick.
Kanu - Out on loan
Campbell - Out on loan
Asiimwe - Out on loan
Taylor - Sold or Loaned out
Ness - Sold
Edun - Sold
Small - If he wants to leave and an offer comes in, take it
Fraser - Reconsideration about him leaving. He's better than Anderson and Berry going forward.

Exactly……we offloaded 9 plus all the loans in the summer and have brought in 7….and we are told we have to offload more wages to bring new players in……..You really have to ask the question, how ambitious are these owners? |

We were bringing in the likes of JRS on-loan two seasons ago. Compare that with Luke Berry calling NJ to see if he had a job for him after he was released by Luton.
Not a downer on Berry this by the way but the quality of player we are bringing to the club nowadays has taken a nosedive.
It's early days but Mannion, Mitchell and Ahadme are the only ones that I have any kind of hope for although I do think Godden will be a worthwhie addition when fit.

The outs should be Watson, Edun, Ness. Fraser certain to go, Taylor now a distinct possibility and after tonight maybe Small as he didn't appear to want to be here. Loans out should be Asiimwe Anderson and Z Mitchell (although he looked good tonight). Whilst I don't particularly rate Campbell his pace coming off the bench maybe useful.
In's are likely to be Potts and Dixon and now think we need another 3 (possibly loans) all good enough to start as well as a goalkeeper. Even though Mannion is proving himself we are stuffed if he has a run of poor form or gets injured.
A massive amount to do in the next couple of weeks.

No saying you have to spend millions but a £2 million spend would be enough plus anything else you bring in. But for "billionaire's" it's pocket change. I don't get it. I don't we are in a bad place don't get me wrong but 3 good players and we have a team. |

It’s clear and he’s said he wants a couple more bits of quality. Let’s wait until the end of the window to see if he gets his men. |

Again we can't be looking at not spending any money on good players and get promoted. Frees don't always just cut it. Because of add ons only paid when sold or on promotion, the money from May just about covered it. Fully convinced if Leaburn hadn't been injured he would have been sold as well. What I can't get a handle on is whether it is the SMT or the owners that are holding back? We appeared to have money to spend on Nombre, JCH and Collins which still hasn't been spent so that was either bullshit or the situation has changed and the owners want results before splashing out. |

Quality costs money and we haven't spent enough of it on players. |

The other little worry thing seems from talking before the game and after Jones seems was put under some pressure from the club for a cup run as could do with the revenue.

Not so long ago you were slating Nick Gray on another post you said below. Now it seems you agree with him? ‘Dick on a stick (Royston) Nick Gray to be precise complaining on the three men and a baby forum that NJ hasn't been backed by the board. This is because the keeper deal fell through. This morning the same pleb was bemoaning us going down the loan route!!’ |

I'm not agreeing with anyone by the way. I have my own eyes that I watch games with which allow me to form my opinions. He has been backed in terms of numbers but sadly not in quality which costs money which we don't seem to want to spend as they prefer to rely on youngsters and don't want to block this 'imaginary' path they have created for them. NJ is already preaching what a talent TC is. No Nathan he's not. He's in the side along with Kanu and Anderson because of the 888 bollocks. Their inclusion is detrimental to the quality of the side. It's a money saving stunt. |

Jones again after match stating we just lacked quality. I wonder how long untill the board understand. I don’t think we are miles away just need one or two quality players. One being to connect the midfield to forwards. I

Does anyone think that Zach Mitchell did enough last night to warrant us not having a need for Potts.
I did and would prefer it if we used that costing in a position where it's needed more.

If you could combine TC, Anderson, and Kanu, you'd have a good player. I feel a bit sorry for Anderson because he's playing in a position where the team desperately needs creativity. He presses well, but nothing happens when he gets the ball. TC has some technical ability but lacks strength, and from what I've seen, he'll never achieve the consistency needed. Kanu can run tirelessly but sadly has very little technical ability. Small needs to put his head down and work hard because, at the moment, he's either sulking or thinks he's better than he actually is, even though he has the most potential out of the four. However, it's important to note that they aren't to blame; the responsibility lies with the SMT.
