    Ross injury is gonna be 10 _12 weeks so with world Cup time off, he will be back just in time for Xmas transfer window.
    We need 2 free agents to get us over this period

    They think it will be 8 weeks minimum. Then a couple to get back up to speed. You're talking about the best part of 3 month. Proper ****ter.

    Didn't even consider the world cup break. Just thought along the lines of the rehab side of things.

    Good likelihood any FA’s will need 3-4 weeks to get match fit too.

    The club already planning on some behind doors games for the young lads. A free agent would benefit from that. I am not convinced the club would go down that route mind, but you never know.

    We don't need any free agents. By the time they were up to speed we'd have Stewart back anyway. We have young, hungry players at the club who now will/may get the opportunity to sieze the chances which fall to them. We several attacking option including going back to the one up front supported by attacking midfielders which we used previously. Pritchard, Roberts, Clarke, Gooch have goals in them. Michut plays across the front. Amad is a foward who is already familiar with English football. Get Max Thomson on the bench, he's 21, if he's good enough, he's old enough.

    2 weeks for Cirkin is good news, 6-8 for Stewart not so good but he'll be back for a couple of 'off the bench' appearances before the WC break hopefully, then have a further break for more rehab/recovery.

    Let's not **** ourselves unnecessarily, eh?

    why would we need two free agents? I can see one at most. I think thats unlikely.

    Amad, Dajaku, Thompson can all have a go at filling the gap

    Just looked at the free agents list and wouldn’t take any of them rather try develop our own as you say, big step up from under 23s bud Thompson has looked good in the little I’ve seen so far

    I dont want a free agent unless he can come in and play now which is highly unlikely, we arent a one man team and need to learn to play without RS.

    RS is one of our best players and it's a blow that he'll be missing for a while,but I'm not entirely sure that we won't be able to form a decent attack from existing resources rather than having to go out and acquire a free agent. We have a number of very mobile,skilful attacking players in Roberts,Dajaku,Diallo and Michut.....although we've not seen anything much from the last three......and if we can get one of them playing off Simms...and Simms accepts the responsibility which now falls on him...I would give it a go and see where it gets us.

    8 Weeks takes us to 31st October if you take the Boro game as the start point. We have three games after that on 2nd, 5th and 12th Nov. Realistically it's going to be 12th December.

    Guess it all depends on how quick a healer Roscoe is. All this doom and gloom is unnecessary

    As long as we pick up a few wins, there is nowt to fret about.

    A team as young and new to the division as this one is an outside bet at best for top six anyway IMO.

    But we aren't short of creative players, and the manager now at least has a week instead of five minutes to try and get the right blend.

    Maybe we could have done with a centre forward who could have helped out here, but it would have had to have been a player we would have signed anyway; you can't sign a player for three months.

    But we have got what we've got, so on we go

    It all sounds fine, but I'm never comfortable with the parents of players speaking in the media.
