Probably making this post in hast after that draw today but do we feel we can stay into contention until Jan & then strengthen ? Will Sisu back robins to do so ? Have a feeling we may see McCallum go to finance a promotion push crying out for strikers & creativity.

Heard a whisper today jones isn’t far away with Jaime Allen & him back they will
Defo feel like new signings.

Is there a reason to think either will be match fit in the next few months. We are still struggling to get Biamou and Kastaneer match fit

Yes we can stay in contention, we're miles better than most teams in this league.

If I listened to the bloke behind me today, we are going down and robins doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Ok fuck it, you've changed my mind. Let's sign Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho.

That's the first week of January sorted. What about the rest of the transfer window?

Unless we sell or we get some more sell-on money I don't think we'll have the budget and if you were the owners wouldn't you be starting to question MR's scouting and signing of strikers, or at the very least the coaching of those players?

Plus by then Godden will be looking to come back in hopefully, so I think MR is likely to stick with what he's got and maybe have a look at Ponticelli to fill in in the interim when he comes back instead.

If we’re talking promotion which I think the club are he will need some sort of backing we took decent money for Chaplin & Bayliss,but yes the striker recruitment has been poor.This group will not get us promoted.

We’re probably slightly better than average for this league, there’s way too much hyperbole on here.

Dave Bennett said a lot of things this afternoon. Most of it was slurred and made little sense.

Dave should have enough sense to say "no, I'm in my 50s. Although I am a club legend, I can't sit on the bench to make up the numbers....look what happened to Ken Dulieu!"

On the subject of January, I have a sneaky feeling we'll be back at the Ricoh before that month is out.

I think it'll take Benno a lot longer than that.

Can’t see many if any permanent signs happening as there can’t be too much left in the pot

Play against him regularly. Still a good player (walking football!). Still gives me a thrill to tell my boys that today I tackled Dave Bennett. (Most times I haven't as he moves the ball too quickly).

Hope he doesn't aim for the bench when he's playing! The goal area is at the end of the pitch!
