Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain is the only logical free agent. Can cover central midfield and both wings.

King needs to act on it quick

Sheaf spent most of the season either injured or recovering from injury. Barely played double figures full fit this past couple of seasons.

He played more minutes last season than:

Wright
Torp
Dasilva
EMC
Allen
BTA

And we're just gonna pretend we was barely going to feature this season?

Yeah you're right he'd be left out and we'd be playing Jamie Allen instead

Pretending that just because he started the season on the bench he'd just be getting 5 mins every few weeks is just weird

No, Grimes doesn't miss any games and he isn't any good in the role that sheaf is playing.

When Grimes and Torp are available he wasn't going to start, to pretend otherwise is fucking weird mate.

He was at this stage firmly a back up to Grimes.

Feels a strange window and without sounding pessimistic not sure how we expect to get through to Jan without picking up some injuries.

Frank will have done a great job if we’re competing for promotion at the turn of the year but can we really say he has been backed this window despite being happy Milan, hadji and Rudi are still here?

Pick the players that had injuries, a LB that had form issues and other back up players.

He was great for us but he was the reserve CDM this season.

This is the whole purpose of a recruitment team. They should in theory have many many players identified. They have a lot of time to sort this out my friend. They fucked it. We move on.

I think it was Boddy, def someone from that era, who said they worked 12 - 18 months in advance based on potential scenarios for contracts ending, players leaving etc.

Robins woud say what type of player he wanted and they would come up with multiple options and basically work down the list until they got one.

If we could manage that when we were operating on a shoestring there's no way we should now be chasing one player with no back up plan.

If Deli Alli could get his head in the game again he’d be the best player in the league - think he’s only 28

Utterly bizarre end to a very mediocre window. Squad planning leaves me scratching my head again.
Click to expand...
Whilst I agree that the window has been mediocre - we don't know what we actually tried to do.
Difficult position for us where we are now likely going for players that lots of other teams are as well.
We could have had a number of irons in fires over the last few weeks and missed out on them all.....

Grimes hasn't missed any games so far, doesn't mean he isn't going to start picking up niggles as he gets older. Doesn't mean he isn't going to catch his studs in the turf and do his knee.

Torp wouldn't start every game if Sheaf was here. Yeah he's been immense so far this season and long may it continue but he will need a rest, and his form will dip. Sheaf would have got starts in games we need to be more solid, it's bizarre to say otherwise.

Just don’t understand why we haven’t at least brought a couple of loans in. Fair if we can’t get the permanent deals over the line but I’d have liked to think we could have brought in some decent quality loans especially with the gaps starting to show in the squad.

Click to expand...

Wright is the only one on that list that makes sense as he was first choice last season. EMC was back up to Wright. Torp, Da Silva and BTA were largely fairly poor for the majority of last season and Allen is way down the pecking order. Sheaf is simply not the player he was 2 seasons ago, and it's the constant injuries which has killed his career with us. He should never have been club captain either. It's fairly telling that our first big signing under Lampard was Grimes, which was a big fat nail in the coffin of Sheaf.

So you're 30 games is based on a non existent injury and him somehow getting picked over the vastly better in the role Torp?

Ok

Since early 2023 he's played in one game. A 10 minute cameo where he managed to get sent off.

I think it's fair to say that his career is behind him.

You're right we're just going to have the same eleven players start all 46 games because that's how football works, my bad.
