Mohamadu Kante on loan from West Ham Currently on loan in France. Promising 20 year old kid. I also hear that the skipper is no longer a shoo in every week, which surprises me as he’s got better after a poor start. He’s never going to score or create much, maybe NJ is looking for younger legs in the middle.
Boy do we need a quality striker and a creative central midfielder in January. Our current forwards couldn’t finish a good dinner, and as for Docherty / Coventry in the middle …they create nothing. When was the last time we scored a fluent goal from open play ?
A new defence as well judging by the last two games. Jones stubbornness is also affecting us adversely. I really don’t think we are going to win another game this year. A relegation battle is what we have to look forward to in 2026. What does our XG say?
I had a good laugh at that. We need better players on the pitch, we also need Jones to utilise them properly. How is a new CEO going to change that.
He’s unreal. On reflection, our transfer activity last Summer was very patchy. I’m as guilty as anyone of going OTT at the initial good form, but a few of them are struggling now. Of the £13m summer signings - Success Carey & Bell (both free) Jury Out Burke (sick note) & Bree (short term loan) Crap / Duds / Underachievers / Blown Out Kaminski Costello - Rankin Knibbs Hernandez Kelman Apter Olaofe
I am a big believer that Apter has got something. But Jones has drained him of all confidence. Play him in his proper position.
