Yeah I’m also not convinced whether this is the profile of player we need right now. But yeah, I’ll be judging after the fact - not before!
I guess we will soon find out if Manneh is the “done deal” that some have been claiming for weeks because, if it was, the paperwork could be signed at any time from yesterday onwards. Personally I don’t think it will happen but we will see.
I think its the kind of signing we should keep making personally, think our recruitment has been good overall. I'd agree we need more on top of that though, more of a 'sure thing' kind of signing to get us through.Yeah I’m also not convinced whether this is the profile of player we need right now.

Two of these please Doug!a 'sure thing' kind of signing to get us through.
Our form has dropped off because it was always going to. A slow start because of the draws, but you're never going to keep up with winning nearly every game for a quarter of a season. We were supposed to be finished as soon as we couldn't put out our first team yet I can't remember the last time we played our 1st 11.That’s as may be but there is no denying that our form has dipped badly. As posted elsewhere, we are 16th in the form table after the last seven rounds of football with just nine points and five goals from those matches.
If that form continues until the end of the season then we won’t finish in one of the automatic places. It’s as simple as that.
Obviously we all hope that the bout of illness affecting the squad will soon pass, BTA will be back, Rudoni and others will rediscover their form and the squad will be strengthened. I most certainly haven’t given up hope - we are still in a good position - but the recent wobble does concern me.

So we've played what everyone agreed was a hard run of games for 2 months and had everything thrown at our squad and we've opened up a nice gap. Always thought Middlesbrough would struggle with just 2 decent goalscorers. That's now 4 games on the bounce without a goal. Now that's a wobble.
Unless 2 sides come out of the pack with sustained runs the gap should be big enough. They need to average around 0.5 points more than us per game. They also have to keep playing each other. And soon silly season starts where the relegation threatened sides start getting unexpected results. Other than Ipswich it would be a deluded supporter that expected their side to go past us.
Calamitous at the back, thoughWatford worry me..theyre absolutely flying, and they are a good side. Aside from Ipswich they are the best side we've played this season, 2nd half against us with only 10 men they were superb

It's a generic Championship winning run and every time people get fooled into thinking it will be maintained. It rarely happens.Watford are only doing what Southsmpton were doing and Hull were doing, I doubt they'll sustain it.
People were saying it about Wrexham when they went 10 unbeaten!It's a generic Championship winning run and every time people get fooled into thinking it will be maintained. It rarely happens.

2 games have passed and now only 21 games left where we need at least 10/11 wins.
We’re going to need to start hitting a 50% win rate very soon.
Sums it up perfectlyIt's a generic Championship winning run and every time people get fooled into thinking it will be maintained. It rarely happens.
Whilst being 3-0 upthey were but we were rubbish also
Their next 3 games are both Hull and Bristol City away then Millwall at home. 4th v 5th, 8th then 7th. That's a lot of dropped points in the chasing group without getting unexpected results and there's going to be a few of them.Watford worry me..theyre absolutely flying, and they are a good side.
