Kamara doesn’t look interested, Brown is a complete unknown quantity rn. Would be foolish to not sign one

Kamara never looks interested; it's just his style. Of course Brown is unknown, but there's also Burstow and Joseph that can do a job out wide.

Considering our recruitment from the Turkish league has been somewhat poor, this just feels like a signing for the sake of a signing. Another Lokilo you might say.

We're not talking about a full season; we're talking about a few weeks before the main two wingers return and can provide some competition.

Are you joking? We have one fit senior winger. Two wingers for each side is necessary and still allows under-21 players like Brown a chance. Brown will definitely be in the squad against Coventry.

For 6-8 weeks. We've managed in the past with less wingers and this time it's only for a short period. Akintola just looks average, if we were bringing in a decent question it's a different story.

Yes but this mentality is what killed us last season. Writing off a chunk of games to start the season.

If we go in with Brown and Kamara as the only wide options, we've got Burstow and Joseph as the rotation/off the bench options for those positions.

That just wouldn't be good enough.

I do agree on the whole I’m just as sick of square pegs in round holes though

I think he looks a good player.

Naa, a lunatic in charge killed us. We ground results out under Ruben, I think we finished 12th from when he took over. That would be absolutely fine.

I get that but we've had a track record of signing players for the sake of it.

I think it's pretty clear, the success of this season hinges on the impact of Belloumi and Millar. If they come back slowly, but perform at a decent level, and we keep as defensively tight as we did under Ruben, we can have a successful season.

I know there's a lot of concern over the squad, but the spine is pretty good.
