    Thomas would be a good signing. Can play left back and wing back comfortably so gives us some flexibility.

    Of all the players mentioned mentioned as "being looked at " he would be the first one to let ho for me. He seems to be rooted to his line or even the 6 yard line when a long ball is played through (there was an example on Friday night). Also his distribution is shocking.

    Hopefully true, i mentioned him the other day as the ideal signing

    A quality lb on loan makes sense than spending decent money on a lb

    Use the money in other positions

    I’d like to see Seelt get some game time personally he’s been solid whenever he’s played and he’s not played in his preferred position yet.

    My worry is that Alese isn't that good in the air. That needs improving before he plays CB. I really want to see Seelt and Ballard together - that is the imposing, dream ticket for me

    Me too and I still believe a back 3 of Alese, Ballard and Seelt would suit us but just can’t see it happening. O’Nien gets in, whatever the formation…

    I think Thomas is out of contact in the summer so could be permanent instead of loan?

    Seelt really was starting to look the part and also looks like one that can dramatically grow.

    I think that only happens with an O’Nien suspension or injury.

    I’ve no issues with o’nien playing tbh but it should be as cdm sit in front of the defence can’t understand why it’s not been tried.

    I know he had a mare when we first came up but he’s got to grips with the league now.
    Surely worth a shot

    I wouldn’t have him anywhere near the midfield personally but I do understand the CDM suggestion from supporters. Something needs to change.

    Ooh a link!

    Thomas would be excellent. I want players who would arrive and immediately strengthen the side. He would so that, and give Beale some different options.

    I think he looks a really good player......I would be looking to get him into that back line.

    They must try out different variations with the defenders, maybe without midweek games Beale can experiment. I agree, Seelt along with Rusyn must wonder what more they have to do to start regularly.
