The thing about Simons potentially going out on loan and us potentially signing Morton on loan that annoys me is that Simons is really the only recognised ball-winner in the squad and Morton is more of a playmaker, which we already have in Seri. For some reason, Rosenior thinks the Seri-Slater partnership in midfield is undroppable despite Slater having one good game every 5 and Seri, whilst good on the ball, offers no protection to the back four off it.

Simons is also our player and Rosenior said he rates him. Rates him enough to sign him permanently instead of sending him back to Chelsea early and chalking it off as one of Shota/Acun's odd summer signings like Vale. This season could've been one where he could get minutes. A dodgy cup appearance where everyone was ****e isn't a fair crack.

If he was likely to get minutes then he wouldn't be going out. And Morton has both sides to his game, definitely not merely a Seri clone.

Morton was Blackburns main DM in a side that finished 7th last year. Missed the playoffs on goal difference. Surely that would represent an improvement on the 14th you are steadfastly predicting we'll finish this year's is it not?

He played most of those next to Travis, an actual #6. If we did sign him, we'd play him next to Seri or Slater. There's a big difference.

The Travis their fans think is ****e?

His stats show he wins plenty of ball. Never know he and Seri may complement each other perfectly. I'll judge when I see it.

I'm sure if it doesn't work and we're anywhere near 14th in Jan they'll look at it again.
 
Wonder if we'll recall Cartwright from Grimsby in January - my mate who supports them said he's been dreadful and dropped a few clangers in each game he's played and their fans are apparently questioning his ability. Doesn't sound like he'll get many games with the form he's in.

I don't think you're going to get your wish for a dedicated deep patrolling enforcer under the current hierarchy. And I'm not sure that's limited to Rosenior either given they didn't bring one in last year either.

TWT though.
