Thought Rapha was decent in his cameo.

For me if we focus on a left sided CB and a starting striker, think we’re good to go and then look for loans to fill space depending on who teams allow to go

It will be a worry if Sheaf keeps playing in Grimes' pocket rather than supporting attacks

Respectfully you said the same thing just before Grimes signed.

Let’s just wait and see what happens in the next month

And the window closes in a month. We’ve sorted the most needed role in GK.

We’ve still got a very good squad

interesting that Oggy said he thought there would be maybe 3 new players in before September to spice things up. No idea if he was giving us a hint or simply want he thinks we need. A LCB, CF and RW would be my choice but if there is a deal to be done to get a new CM as well then all well and good for me.

He agreed we need a top class CB and a striker but admits there needs to be some outgoings up front

There does, I guess the aim is to try to replace squad players with nailed on first team starters. Very very difficult though and it also costs money

An experienced leader at the back who is vocal and organises others ( i.e. is prepared to bollock Sheaf for playing too deep for a start!) is the key ingredient for us now.

We are leaving it late with plenty still to do, but the powers that be must think the wait will be worth it. I certainty dont think its a lack of effort on the clubs behalf, but i just put it down to us going after real quality which take time.

Also we need to move some on but Doug is someone that is not going to give players away. Lets see but id love to see 2 real 1st team starters come in. We need signing that will make a difference just because we can sign them. Lets see..

It's frustrating how close he plays to Grimes and how little he is affecting the game.

Grimes moved into Sheaf's 8 role for 5 minutes in the 2nd half and he dribbled past his man and got forward to support attacks more than Sheaf did in his entire 60 minutes on the pitch.

I'm sure how unnatural Sheaf looks in this role is the reason we're being linked to that MLS midfielder.

Not slagging him off at all. He has a contribution to make and has clear ability, but the team seems to be stifled if both of them stay back constantly.

Our actual goalie returns from injury before that loan ends. Even by your standards you are clutching here

Remember when we beat everton and we were gonna piss the league, they don‘t mean a thing, anyway I’m fully prepared for a exact repeat of last season, we’re playing the same way, should be entertaining at least

I'd like to see a striker and a centre back come through the doors, but as it stands I think we'll be alright.

We probably won't do any better than last year, but I can't see us doing massively worse.

The biggest things that are plaguing us at the minute is how slow our play is, and the cock ups at the back. Any time we've upped the tempo we've looked really good, but for the most part it's just really pedestrian.

The other night against Betis there was a period in the game where we upped the tempo a lot and started playing really quick passes up to and then around the box and it's the best we've looked with these players.. but then 30 seconds later it's slow and predictable again.

It's the exact same thing with our pressing. The few times we fully committed to the press and got after Betis and St Pauli as a team we forced errors, created chances, and scored.

But it doesn't happen very often for some reason. Only the striker and 10 go while the other midfielders don't push up.
