[StrettoBoy]

We put a late bid in for Sunderland winger Romaine Mundle, maybe EMC'c injury is not looking good

That would be worrying

Signing for next year.....

 

[HadjiChippo]

That is 4 goals, not a great season

So as I said he has had 1 great season goal scoring outside of league 2

That was 4 goals before January in the premier league, missed the rest of the season through injury, in a struggling team.

He might’ve been a flash in the pan with that Blackburn season, but Derby look like a pretty free scoring side and I think he’ll do well there.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Signing for next year.....

Glad he didn’t go to one of our rivals.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

At least he won't be at the CBS for Saints. Hopefully Ross Stewart breaks down again too before we play them. Weird Ipswich not going all out for a No 9 in the window.

Failed to get their targets. Ipswich fans are in meltdown that Szmodics left for a Derby, no new striker in and they’re left with Hirst.

Hirst is a good system player for them to be fair.

Overall, we’ve had a v good window. Signing a CB or LB without offloading 1-2 was never on the cards.

We addressed the highest priority positions imo and both Esse and Onyeka are two players who are Day 1 starters.

We’ve got more than Boro and we’ve got a great opportunity to give them a bloody nose on the 16th. If Ipswich keep up their away form, we’ll be fine, although Hull are one to watch.

Lampard has got no excuses to not finish the job and it’s our away form that needs addressing because it’s collapsed. 3 losses on the bounce and we’ve given up points from winning positions in 5 of our last 6 - it’s unacceptable.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Really hope Hull don't make it.

Bit of a piss take that they're allowed to bring all these players in after being already found foul of PSR.

 

[covcity4life]

Do we have any word on emc? Hopefully a fully fit squad is not too far away but emc has been vital and we really need to get a win Vs Oxford and not lose to Boro at least , him being back for those games would be big

ok, none of that changes what i said

but ok

Amazing what hull are doing next 4 league games at home aswell, ipswich have got the next 4 away, could see Ipswich falling away, all of a sudden hull away is a massive game, wasn’t even thinking of them a few games ago,

 

[MusicDating]

These odds might change after Hull's 4 home games!

Said it earlier -;
Hull could be above us and top before we play Middlesbrough even if we beat Oxford.

Think the table tomorrow night will be a bit of a “ how did that happen moment “ could be 4 points between us and 4th. We’re def doing it the hard way, never know, might be the wake up call we need

How?

 

[David O'Day]

How?

not sure how, the have only 2 league games as they play in cup the weekend of the monday we play boro

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Preston+Laing= nightmare for CCFC!

As if we don’t have enough problems when we play Preston

 

[quinn1971]

Yeah, as bad as things are that can’t happen, especially when we’ll beat mboro aswell

the comments on that

Even Derby are going all out Szmodics great signing would take him over Wright and Simms all day.

If it was 23/24, 100% agree. He’s scored 1 goal all season so I definitely wouldn’t have him over anyone in our team.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Eustace has built a very solid Championship side. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if they make the playoffs.
Had our home game against them as one of the “9 wins will do it” But they are good away from home and may have a lot to play for.

If we want autos we have to win some away games, it’s that simple. And a side that doesn’t win away from home for over half a season wouldn’t deserve them anyway.

But like QPR and Norwich they are teams that got battered by us in the first half of the season but have all got significantly better whilst we have regressed. Still plenty of teams to play though that are going backwards faster than us - Stoke, Blackburn, West Brom but that April fixture list isn’t quite as rosy as it once was

If we had converted just some of the 5 games we went ahead in into wins it would all have looked very rosy by now. But we didn’t and it’s now a scrap.

He's been injured I believe.

He's shite, scores a few from millions of shots

Had one great season and Ipswich did an Ipswich and just buy anyone and everyone to see if they're any good. If not, they get rid.

Wrexham doing the same.

Wonder what Freddy Eastwood is up to nowadays?

 

[Gint11]

Big night tonight. Come on Watford and pompey!!’

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hull;

Wasn’t it one in one out
Which 6 players left?

 

[jordan210]

Might put a few £ on an Ipswich pen

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Southampton have signed Cyle Larin on loan with an obligation to buy. The fact this guy has dropped to the Championship says a lot. A total cart horse at Mallorca, the fans couldn't wait to get him out. The same thing happened at Feyenoord after only being on loan for half a season.

I watched him play against Betis on Thursday night and it was one of the worst performances from a striker I have ever seen. Robin van Persie (the Feyenoord manager) was seen visibly shaking his head at the player several times as well.

 

[Ipad Boro]

Ok.
Who has signed who then.
Lost track of Hull's signings.
Boro - Sarmiento
Ipswich - half of Bristol City's best players
Birmingham - a Spanish winger and and expensive forward
Wrexham?
Sheffield United - Phillips

Can help you on the Boro January additions bit;

First teamers -

Malanda (bought in summer, but not added until Jan)
Sarmiento
Castledine

Back up -

Munroe
Wildsmith
