We have 2 games NYD charlton then blues on 4th - then its fa cup so next league games Leicester 18th.

be great if we can have the deals done now/ asap to give us maximum support - as guess the squad will be pretty tired by then.

Head has clearly been turned, it’s obvious we’ll be back in for him in January……wonder if we’ll get him for cheaper. In a perfect world, we keep doing well and they do shit then he pushes for it

Is the kitman back in the game or did we get a new one and you got in his pants in double quick time?

Marquee signing who can cover both flanks up front and get some goals. Ideally move on Allen and Bidwell and get a midfielder in. Someone to learn behind Grimes, maybe. Assuming no shock sales, do we need anything else?

Not really much he can do if his club won't accept an offer for him.

He is under contract. It was the club that rejected the offer not him.

I still suspect we might need better than we have in central defence. Wolfenden may be the answer, but he looks like cover. (I know have just had two clean sheets, but let's not get ahead of ourselves).

As per elsewhere I would like someone better than Saka on the right, with Saka as cover. Someone who can get to the line, get crosses in -above all quickly.

We need more cover in midfield - we should not be dependent on Allen - but finding the right player prepared to take that role will be difficult

expensive cover??

If the opportunity arises then Woolf will start.

players are hardly ever signed as starting players or cover anymore

7 goals against in 7 games. 3 of them in the second game against Derby. 1 goal against in the 3 games this month including away to Leicester. We're getting better defensively as we settle in to the season.

We need cover on the wings before anything else. Maybe cover in the middle for Torp/Rudoni although Eccles reminded us he is good enough and is now getting back to fitness. BTA has been like a new player and has already played in a few different positions.

We're not in 2nd by luck. With a little bit of luck we would be level with Middlesbrough.

"opportunity" is clearly a euphemism for cock up by one of K & T.

There is clearly a divide in every squad outside the Prem between regular starters and cover. We all know the favoured 1st eleven. We all know that Wilson, BTA, Lati, Bidwell are cover. Eccles is in-between, but is anybody else? KKH is clearly viewed as 2nd XI until we sell MVE

I think Woolf was bought on the perfectly logical assumption that one of our central pairing, probably Thomas, would cock up and Woolf would take his place. The threat of this must be a factor in our two clean sheets. K & T want to keep their places. Woolf left Ipswich to avoid being permanently on the bench, he's hardly going to be happy if that is all he does here.

It's what is known as competition for places in the team. At least this way they get the chance to settle in and get to see how we play and what their role is instead of being put straight into the team and not knowing how the rest of the players in the team prefer to play.

Yes we're after better players for cover in certain positions. Nobody will have the right to get straight into the team. When they get their chance it's up to them to keep their place. Anything else could be bad for squad morale. The more better players we bring in the more it will happen. That's why it's good having players like Eccles and BTA waiting for their chance. Very capable at this level and not banging on Lampard's door every day. But yes, we need to continue to improve our squad.

Sakamoto gets loads of crosses in. One lead to a goal on Saturday
