I think Rusyn could stick around if we only bring one striker in, his cameo was alright against Burnley did what he needed to do, he’s limited but he’s a pest and will force mistakes against tired defences

I agree. In my head if we were bringing in 2 then Isidor was for the left wing. If only one comes in then that means potentially requiring Isidor to be considered more as a central option. Rusyn can then give us that additional cover for the left.

I'm sure he was signed as cover for Clarke last season incase Clarke left back end of window?

The worry with fullback cover is that even in the 21s we are playing Crompton as a fullback. So there's not a lot there either as Bainbridge is on loan at Killie! Lavery is the only option.

Yeah, this is my worry. We could have afforded to be short with centre mid tbf, with Jones, Lenz and that other good lad whose name escapes me.

Hope this is not the start of the "we tried" over the next few days which we have previous for

Hope Simic gets done
 
Not to big up Regis too much, but I'm thinking (20% hoping) he has a plan if Hume or Cirkin, or both are missing...3 at the back I'm guessing.

Question is, would such a formation change hinder us to the point of changing our seasons prospects?

I think RLB said he doesn't see Rusyn as a LW option.

Mundle is the man in possession of the shirt and you could argue that Isidor, Watson OR Poveda could provide options there.
Be great to have Simic up top with Mayenda and Isidor as options off the bench.

I must have missed that, MadMackem is saying there's still a chance he goes anyway so don't think he's in our plans either way!

I understand your point but would there be a time when all 4 first choices will be missing from the line up? Substitute 1 of the bottom 4 into the top and it won't be as bad, the weakest for me would be Johnson at RB but like you said they could change formation to accommodate

Johnson wouldn't let us down in his more natural CB role, then we could move O9 to full back, or bring Triantis in at CB. Also, hopefully in January, we'll have Huggins and Seelt, then it won't look bad at all.
If we can get a loan in until January, all well and good, but as long as midfield and up top is well covered, I won't have any cause for complaint with this transfer window.

Johnson is another one I don’t expect to be here come 11pm tomorrow

Brandon Williams was previously on £50k so I'd worry about how much he'd cost us. Also completely disagree about O'Nien's mobility. He's more than capable of getting up and down the pitch for 90. I'd be surprised if there's a fitter player in the squad. Agree about Huggins, though. He's a really good player that would stop any worries about fullback instantly. The calculation for SAFC is whether they can wait for him to return - and what they feel he'll be like when he does get back. If we genuinely think that minutes from NH are reasonably likely after Christmas then I'd certainly be making do till then, personally.

Yeah he’s got a brilliant engine, I was more leaning toward the fact he’s not fast or quick in the turn and he’s not too clever chasing back which is a full backs bread and butter when we lose the ball high up the pitch. Defo agree with Huggins he should be the priority for minutes when he’s fit I’m just starting to worry about the injuries he’s picking up, they don’t seem normal for such a young player. Back injuries, problems in his knees before he picked up the injury that’s required surgery, heel injuries. Hope it’s just me being ever the pessimist and we can get some regular football out of the boy because he’s clearly talented.

Williams has been a bit ****e for the last few years I can’t see many bigger clubs being in for him mind think he suits what we’ve been shopping for in high reward lower risk players who’ve not really performed up until now.
