After the optimism of the last few weeks on the pitch, today has been far more typical of the usual shit we have to deal with supporting this club. Normal service has resumed.
Mowbray is no mug. Today might serve as a timely reminder of some of the areas where we need strengthen. I suspect given the budget he would look for a better right back. Be an interesting couple of weeks to see who we can bring in.
I would love Jamie Paterson on loan but suspect he would be too expensive similar to Carayol. A young Premier League winger on loan I suspect. I wonder whether it might be from the Villa with them having signed Traore today...
Asked Kieran Crowley about this. He says Mowbray is not looking to pursue it. Having actually listened to the interview Mowbray gave when he mentioned this I think far too much was made of it. I think Mowbray was just trying to illustrate sometimes a very good player suddenly becomes available...
Barton would be a disaster I think from a character point of view. Also someone mentioned Samuel played for Reading... He came off the bench and got 10 mins.
