Why in ****ting crikey do we need another centre midfielder? It's like we only know how to sign them and keepers. He has played out wide a bit from memory, but come on...

Unless we're selling Clucas and / or Betesford?

I'm surprised that you're surprised.

I have come to the conclusion that there is no thought process or logic applied to our signings.

We just end up signing anyone we can, anyone we can get, anyone who will come here. That's due to titting around and leaving things until last minute.

At the moment it stands at 5 including loans.

At this stage it doesn't matter where they play or what they're like, clown shoe will hit the panic button and bring in anyone he can.

It's what he does.

Yet some people still defend The Boy Wonder.

It's a disgrace.
 
Maybe Larsson is instead of Marc Wilson.

Sensible signing, gives 4 defensive midfielders, plus can also play on the flanks
 
Not sure how we'll do tomorrow (half-expecting a low scoring defeat) but with this squad we're bottom 8 material and if we don't strengthen and then have a few key injuries we'll be relegation material, playing in front of sub 10k crowds with more boos then cheers at games.

Home game highlights on TV will look shocking -thousands of empty seats.

Cue, a bit of investment in January (probably loan signings) and then a slight revival and we then may or may nor stay up. No lessons learned from 2016/17

But apart from that I'm quite optimistic.

Edit - just realised I've posted this in the wrong thread. Should be in the one 'Calling all pessimists, etc'

We aren't in any danger of going down, the core of the squad is too good. People forget how bad the teams that go down in the Championship are.
 
If Larson is indeed coming, it better be to play on the wing, otherwise that means Clucas is gone. Seen a lot of Kent's not coming comments on here and Twitter, has he defo gone elsewhere?
A fake account posted that Villa and Leeds are interested and now our fans believe it.

Agreed.

What we're lacking is squad depth. Even with the left back problems, our first eleven would do well against most in this division.
