Dont need Martin now that Tareiq is fit. Slocombe cant go back out on loan as cant play for more than 2 teams in a season. So either Smith has to go or Bonham goes back to Brentford. Otherwise we will have 4 keepers at the club! Hopefully its Smith who goes.
Before DC went, we looked like we were in need of a few changes as players were not performing. But recent results shows that we are actually doing ok. Players confidence and form is picking up and all of a sudden, the thought of new players could now disrupt the good run we are on. I rather now see us use what we have in the full squad as we have a big squad available.
We have 4 GK's: Bonham, Smith, Slocombe and Andre
We have 3 players who can play RB: Leadbitter, Partington and J.Clarke
We have 3 players who can play LB.: Tareiq, Kelly and Craig
We have 6 players who can play CB: Lockyer, Craig, J.Clarke, Broadbent, Menayese and Kilgour
We have 12 players who can play in Midfield including out wide: Lines, Sercombe, Upson, O.Clarke, Sinclair, Bennett, Matthews, Tareiq, Rodman, Russe, Hargreaves and Baghdadi
We have 6 players who can play CF: Jakubiak, Reilly, Nichols, Payne, Bennett and Rodman
Each position is filled and has cover for it and even extra cover for it.
Our weakest link is our forwards and this should be where our attention should be focused in this window. As you can see, we have a big squad with enough cover. We have been told players need to go to get players in. We can let Smith, Menayese and Nichols go out on loan without that actually hurting us at all. Then bring in a striker who can play with Jaks and score goals too. 3 players out and thats enough wage allowance gone to bring in a good striker, either on a permanent deal or loan.
