I didn’t say it was. Just noting where people are losing their shit about cover. If we can get a ST in, great, but we need a CB, LWB, AM and arguably GK as well for the squad long term.

We’re comfortable enough not to do panic signings. Walker is back in a month. If a young player we’ve scouted comes up in a position we need we should sign them. But I’d rather we wait and get in the next Dublin than rush and bring in the next McKenzie.

I'm not advocating we go and dish a big contract and fee out. Just a free agent to tide us over till the end of the season so we're not forced into overplaying Biamou and injuring him as well. The vision of Baka kung fu kicking a goalkeeper is keeping me up at night.

We do have other forwards but they wouldn't be ideal. Bremang is in the under 23s, then you have Harrison Nee who has scored a lot of goals in the under 18s. Bremang probably not good enough and Nee not ready, but if it came to it we aren't left with no strikers.

You can't count the two lads you named mate. They clearly aren't ready for the Championship.
We're in real trouble if something happens to Biamou. We need someone else

Need to bite the bullet and go for a free agent who can allow us a bit of rotation.

Yeah, I know, but who knows who could step up if circumstances arise. Let's hope.it doesn't come to that though.

Bremang and Ngandu looked like prospects a while back but have both failed to progress unfortunately
Don't see them stepping up any time soon

Is that because we've stepped up though and they were never championship level?

Hard to say
I'd liked to have seen the lads make the grade but they haven't forced themselves into the frame like others have done over the past two or three years

We'll go Barca style with a false 9 if Max gets injured, Just pack the middle and confuse the hell out of the opposition when their centre backs have no-one to mark. Alternative - when Rose is fit - is to throw Psycho Ostigard up front to play as a loose cannon striker!!

Ostigard would be a great striker. There's an Alan Shearer inside him just waiting to be let loose

If needed we could go down to 4 at the back. We can't really manage with 0 up front, though the Grendels of this world would tell you we're already at that point

Please God tell me there's not more than one Grendel

All depends, if we live in a multiverse then there could be an infinite number.

And if there was an infinite number, in at least one of them he’d literally be in a taxi with Robins. On the other hand, in another one he’d be married to him. I think I have just disproven the infinite universes hypothesis.

Probably not really one we'll be looking at now as not a priority in this window, but given we'll likely have no LB/LWB on the books come the summer this would be a fantastic signing.

Would be an absolute steal if the £500k figure rumoured is correct.

Harry Pickering was wanted by Liverpool last year, was in EFL Team of the Year and is a good player, $500k is a steal

The only problem is Ostigard is more Adebola than Shearer.... gets to the headers, where the ball ends up is a totally different issue. Man had a 50p for a head
