could be either. If we signed them on season long loans, what happens if they aren't in or around the 1st team, we maybe stuck with them all season. This has to be better than the old "1 month loan"
Who's call is it in January for the player ?
We have several on short loan which could see us short in January as they are called back to cover injuries in their home team.
noone is getting ahead of themselves though
its not getting ahead of yourself to not moan and stress that season is a disaster in august. its called being rational
i also think sordell is v good player and will do well for us, i am not pinning hopes on a AA loan again. think we have enough as it stands to make top 6
8 games so far and Tudgay and Agyei have 1 goal each. The other strikers (G Thomas, K Thomas, Reid, Sordell) haven't scored any,.
Early doors, but I think we are still a little light up top
Wouldn't exactly say I'm concerned about the transfer activity whatsoever. However I would say it could've been dealt with far better but in terms of the actual players that have been bought in I'm quite happy. Yes we've had a torrid start to the season in comparison to last year however this is due to a number of factors; injuries, lack of fitness and late arrivals.
If you look at the quality of some of the players bought in this season I think TM has done quite well. Jones, Sordell, Reid, McCann, Page, Bigi, Turnbull, Agyei, Sterry. I consider all of these players playoff standard quality. We've also bought for the future by bringing in K. Thomas permanently and McBean in on loan with a view to a permanent to make sure that we don't just think of the now.
Is the team stronger than last year? I would say it's about the same. We have greater strength in depth in comparison to last year. Our second team last season simply wasn't good enough for League one hence why the slump we endured was so catastrophic. Players such as C. Thomas, S. Hunt, D. Henderson, P. Ramage, M. Lorentzson, A. Phillips, MAF caused our slump because they could not fill in for those who were injured or out of form.
The two big loses are Armstrong and Fleck. I was considering adding Murphy but i honestly think he lost us more games than he won, he often went completely missing from the game, making it feel as if we only had 10 men.
A lot of people are saying that we need to bring Ryan Kent back even though he's gone to Barnsley. Lets be honest, he couldn't hit the Jimmy Hill statue if he was standing 5 feet from it. He has pace and creativity but whats the point when you can't deliver at the end of that?

Sounds good to me. We could use a bit more physicality in the side.He's a good defender likes to get forward a bit and is hard as f#ck in the tackle (you may see a red card or too).
if stokes comes back to play lwb then we have a very tall back 5!
Cant tell if u are being sarcastic or not. think Turnbull is over 6 foot but the rest aren't.
Stokes, Haynes, Turnbull and Ricketts are all 6'1''/6'2'' ish. Willis more like 6'0'' if that.

Are they shouting names across an office, and typing what they think they have heard?
Whooshthink that was just a miss print mate.
Tall but lacking a monster 6'4'' brick shithouse
Yes but he was clumsy, often out of position, with no cement between the bricks so kept collapsing and his Championship potential has taken him to Eastleigh.
could be worse,we could have kept lightweight martin!
TM got the best out of Martin, but new there was no more to come. Squad player at best but on first team wages... just wasn't value for money. Nobody wanted him here this time last year now he is TM's greatest mistake lol!!!
So you pick up something someone said and associate it with the fanbase.our fans are a weird breed.
martin better than reda
martin better than maldini
burge better than rcc
jacob murphy shit
dke better than sterry
all heard in recent weeks!

If we had played shit I would agree.No I think he's got a point. Although we can't make final judgement until the window closes, with the squad we already had we have managed 2 points and 3 goals in 5 league games. Our squad is altogether weaker and has less depth than last year, so the concerns are valid.
If we pull through another 3/4/5 players to strengthen each area then just maybe we can be comparable, but even 2 more signings is unlikely to bring the team to the level of last season.
What's your opinion on the current squad, good enough? Comparable to last season's team?
Adam Armstrong your a Star, All the best mate for the future and hope to see you playing for England one Day. PUSB
