    That would be a second string front 3 with a transfer value of 8m+. EMC - 4m Bassette - 2m BTA - 2m

    Midfield

    We need to sign a 6. I watched Apadou for Leeds he broke play up, moped up and started attacks. We need a player to be that protector of the back 4 an excellent communicator and that is bound to help the defending.

    Ellis Simms

    Is Simms suited to playing up front alone or is he better in a 2?

    Victor Torp

    Palmer is one of the few in midfield who has done well this season. We lack someone who can dictate the tempo. Sheaf can but we need another.

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    I am sure he will start or play a part in the Oxford game and we can see. In theory, glass half full, Robins has BTC and Saka for the right. Hadji and EMC for the left and Simms and this lad as the two covering the no 9 role. The way the game is nowadays with 5 subs you can change your entire...

    Viktor Moving on

    I was thinking last night, are arsenal and other suitors waiting to see how Vik does in the champions league before making a move in January? 70 million is a lot and I wonder if the clubs interested are waiting to see how he performs at club level outside of the championship and Portuguese...

    Not sure if they will but given its not on TV quite local it would be poor if they don't get over 1000!

    If we want to go up we need to lessen that thinking this season.

    From a PR perspective Doug could do with appearing to be thinking of the future fans!

    Do we miss McFadzean?

    I agree the concern would be that Dean Austin has spent 6 million on league 1 talent and we really need one of Thomas or Kitching to really step up this season. Can see it taking a few weeks for the back 5 to gel.

    No, Lati did not win every header and I think he struggled at times. We were were the dominant team so much went though them, but when the play broke down it was more often with one if them and personally I think we need another CM who is primarily good at breaking up play and winning...

    Dovin 6 - not really at fault for the goals and looked okay with the ball to feet. MVE 10 - great performance, they could not live with Sakamoto and MVE linking up in the first half. Lati 6 - Did okay but not a dominant CB Binks 7 - Did okay, wish he would spray less speculative balls than he...

    It was Torp losing the ball and then running back like he was in treacle that lead to their second. He did play some expansive passes but he is unspectacular and we miss Sheaf.

    I don't get some of the Palmer reviews. He is not our all round most talented player but he can play passes others can't. Last season he played very well a number of times (see quarter final vs Wolves as one example), he was guilty in other games of giving the ball away too cheaply. However...

    Keep rotating the squad and beat the team we are playing and let's see how far we get.

    Put Palmer in for Allen and that would be my team too. Palmer is better at making goals than Allen. Bidwell is more solid and dependable than Dasilva but I am hoping we will be on the front foot most the night.
