    Really disappointed Triantis has missed pre season, wanted RLB to get a look at him in midfield.

    I would have stretched it out if we could. Numbers wise we’ve got a lot already. However the additional defenders haven’t convinced this summer. Certainly not enough to cope with adding the ballard injury to the existing Seelt and Huggins ones. Move Pembele on (a worthwhile gamble but not one that looks like it’ll pay off) and use the space for one more defender on loan. Maybe that Leicester lad. Shame Triantis has had his injury. I’d have him ahead of any of the ones we’ve got playing tonight tbh.

    None of them are good enough to play centre back for a month in a 2 partnership. We need to go into the market for a quality centre back. Use 09 as the cover. Hjelde for me looks below the standard at LB and CB. Alese I like but again it's cover for me and not a starter.

    He's a better fullback (left and right) than the 2 we've got playing tonight

    That's a stretch. When played as a centre back for us he has looked like a dog chasing a bloon.

    I agree with you but think there’s no chance we sign another centre back unless we sell some of them. We have too many at the moment. Too much ****e signed previously.

    They need to do something mate. I agree we have signed too many ****e (filler) type players. Can not just keep signing cheap players from abroad that have lost their way. Otherwise you end up with a very imbalanced and poor depth squad.

    Nah he was fine from what I remember. Did perfectly well when dropped into that brum game and was always clearly ahead of the likes of Johnson when he played with him for the U21s.

    Rusyn just doesn't offer enough, especially in this system. Very little back to goal ability and his link up play is so poor. Mundle drives inside and is looking for his striker to play off and Rusyn is constantly 2 steps behind.

    Helde, Rusyn, Pembele, Hemir and Anderson have all been shocking signings
