    Opinion and from past experiences.. He will be gone before deadline day for a pittance, you can see it when he's warming up from the effort he puts in.

    They have zero say in big matters now. Be phased out soon enough.

    Getting a tad anxious about this Cirkin like considering how highly rated he is. Haven't heard a peep about it since the weekend.

    Personally, I am enjoying watching the club stick to its guns and only sign quality. Whilst it is entirely true our squad is light I would much rather retain a light and youthful squad with the short term aim of developing the nucleus of the team than lump in league 1 standard player who are at the to of their achievement status in this league and dilute the standard. The doommolngers are winding me up - I still believe that we will get only 2-3 of our targets in by deadline day but that the wait will be worth it

    Exactly, the win has given us a slight repreave from their repetitive moaning, but they'll never dampen my excitement and happiness in being here while the club is about to take off. Hhaaawwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyy the Lad's

    This should create movement with Gabriel whether that's us or Blackpool.

    Then you'll see I've been posting about lack of players in key areas nit midfielders, which we signed.

    We can do both. You don't need to wait til end of window to sign good players. The amount of players we need means they are giving themselves an awful lot to do in a short period of time. Given how long it's taken to get what we've got its unclear if they can get the job done.

    We are weak up front as well as at the back but I'd concentrate on back 4 as we've at least got 1 striker. We've got 1 starting defender imo.

    We have 3 strikers and 5 defenders (if you include Younger as part of the 1st team)

    Talking of cover at the back, any updates on Arby and when he will be fit?

    I know we have not seen a lot of him, but his reputation and what we did see pre injury was very promising.

    We play 1 up front but Stewart I'd the only on up to it. Likewise we've probably only Doyle at the back. Flannagan is accident waiting to happen imo as has been proven in the past. Wrights away. Younger can't get in ahead of 2 midfielders and the rest are injured. Other than that were in great shape though..... I feel if we can get the defence and a competent back up striker with pace we can win this league.

    Whether you like it or not, Flanagan, Wright, Younger and Xhemajli are part of the first team and can't be ignored when assessing the squad. Flanagan is clearly 1st choice alongside Doyle. If Wright goes, he will be replaced.

    You say Stewart is the "only one up to it" but Grigg and O'Brien are alternative options and the way we play doesn't need a lump like Wyke winning (losing) headers - Grigg and/or O'Brien might well have shown the same movement as Stewart for the penalty although I'd concede neither would have scored the goal Stewart did

    You do if their current clubs aren't prepared to let them go yet.

    Have any of our competitors signed fullbacks that you wish we'd signed?

    Tend to agree we need recruits mate, but you cant comment that we haven't signed anyone and then use the phrase "Wright is away" to enforce your point, neither of those have happened yet
