And likely cost a fee and higher wages. IF JP is until summer, I can see sense in it. This is such a bad time of year to start trying to rebuild squad.

Do you not trust Lampard et al judgment? After watching him for a week? Yeah it’s not inspiring, but low cost, low risk, likely till season end? Makes sense in many ways (and it’s some experience which everyone has been banging on for?)

Any news on the outs? Was Rak Sakai still loan?

Think we all need to pause. Likely low cost, low risk until season end and it’s some experience. (Any longer than season end would be worrying) would it be my choice, no (but like most I’ve not seen him in action for a while). But if he’s trained all week, Lampard, Edwards et al have seen...

Issue with BTA is that when purchased, general view was decent back up option for simms off bench for last 20 mins etc / fill in. However the Bassette purchase changed that, clearly wasn't planned and a case of take him now or not at all. But that then meant we had 2 strikers vouching for one...

Shrewsbury. Official now.

Would suggest a massive upgrade on the Aussie, Tavares.

We must have other irons in fire surely, sounds like being kept well under wraps if so. Just makes sense to shuffle BTA and Lati - ONLY if we reinvest though, cant have another Palmer situation. As you say, we need to be careful here with just shipping everyone out.

Agree, thats my only concern also.

If we can flip BTA and Lati and reinvest - centre mid / right back (loan perhaps until summer) and right winger it makes sense I think. Nice lad, sat with his family at Bristol City away game, his old man was top, so nice. Sometimes it just doesnt work out and I think, we dont need him and...

Actually injury like he had is likely 10-12 weeks - which takes us towards end of Jan. so as frustrating as it is, it roughly on time.

The infastructure for sure far better - shop, training ground, back office team etc The team ethos, connection, feel good, us vs the world mentality I would has gone - of course it can be rebuilt, but its not the same now.

@Saddlebrains is correct re WBA game, he got hooked at HT and didn't take it well, that I know - cant comment on rest but makes sense. He was awful that night as well.

Whatever has happened, it’s sad, really sad that it all seemingly set off chain reaction that has dismantled 7 years of amazing work. That’s the really shit part. there is clearly more to MR/AV also, they haven’t fallen out irreversibly over that article….clearly there is some wild theories...

They did. But as said hindsight allowed them. Playing Vik on own allowed there centre half’s to each have freedom unchallenged to launch long balls which we’re causing carnage. 2nd half 2 up top, meant we occupied that, and the quality of the balls was more hurried. Anyway, long gone now, sadly.

No it was James McConnell

Spot on, completely over awed. BNC pretty much only positive from 1st half. So lucky only 1.0. Hindsight, should have gone 2 up top from start, to negate Luton long ball diagonal they just played at will. Yep hamer stays on pitch, we win it, no doubt.

Are there any green shoots going on currently?!

And clearly we replace him. Kitching as mentioned by others not good egg also.

we should be all over pushing a Dolan/kitching swap. Dolan out of contract in summer, balanced out his value v kitching. rather move kitching than binks. Like thomas, think binks be better with experience alongside.
