Agree with all the above, would see how Reuben does in training etc. before sending Tavares out on loan though...

Surprised a few have Millwall to finish bottom: there's definitely worse than them in this division (Oxford, Plymouth and Blackburn at the very least....)

100% agree. Palmer's effectiveness is over-rated because he shows flashes of skill occasionally, but essentially he is a bit of a show pony. Allen is more effective overall (and a better team player too).

I don't necessarily think Sheaf going would derail our season BTW, especially if it happens in next few days. I trust the recruitment team to find a very good replacement and I think a physical, commanding centre back with leadership qualities would make a big difference. Not as worried about...

Know what you mean.... I think we will finish 6th (bookies have us as 5th generally if you look at Oddschecker). Weird feeling going into the season with high expectations: have spent most of the past 50 years looking at the bottom of the league table and scanning up to find us, not now :) Our...

Exactly how I see it too. Palmer was looking for an increase in wages according to someone on here (no idea if that really is the case though). We might sacrifice an attacking midfielder to get in a striker.

Yep. I would keep him around though as he has that pace to trouble tired defences and has developed an ability to put in useful crosses from the right too. No guarantee that Tatsu has fully recovered from injury and new RW is untried. I know many (most?) will disagree but I would keep him in...

If Ntelo signs, think Obikwu will go out on loan again, hopefully L2 level again. He has potential but is not ready yet. Tavares I hope sticks around to be a useful impact sub this season.

Chip off the old block then! Pierre V-H was a great player but a nightmare in terms of attitude. All about him rather than the team....

Think Bristol City will finish mid-table. Middlesborough will be up there. Norwich always seem to have decent forwards but not be so clever at the back.

Well said. Really don't understand bitterness towards him. We have been good for him, he has been good for us. A big signing on fee will secure his financial future if he is sensible and I don't blame him for taking it after recovering from a serious injury. We move on - and I agree with...

Well worth experimenting with in early pre-season friendlies if he has recovered from injury by then....

Interesting to see ex-Cov Corey Addai feature in that list of keepers too...

'Thomas is a brick wall' 'thank god for Thomas'............. 'WTF was Thomas doing' 'Jesus, Thomas' - classic SBT

If he goes, wish him all the best. Very influential in our rise and a very genuine player. Rovers fans up in arms though - looks like they are selling best academy product for years and getting Fadz in on same day!

If we keep Godden but want another option up front, Davis Keillor-Dunn at Mansfield is worth a look. Nigel Clough's sides play good football and DKD can play LW, AM or CF.

Agree with OP. What do people think we need to do in January? Am wondering if we will sign a left winger / left sided attacker as we are potentially formidable down the right already. Obviously Hamer replacement. Maybe a CF with good aerial ability - with Wright and Simms running the...

Good shout about Dujon Sterling BTW. He did come good for us (and young players are entitled to nightmare performances which they learn from e.g. Doyle v Bristol City last year), but he was incredibly poor that day, literally getting the wrong side of the man he was marking constantly and his...

It is frustrating but progress is being made, I reckon. Scoreline wise, we have not been beaten by more than one goal all season i.e. we have been in contention in every game. That said, it was worrying that MR basically admitted we were screwed when Bristol changed formation and brought on...

My eyes hurt!
