We literally rejected the chance to sign him two months ago. Shows how much the recruitment team shit the bed this summer.

Matty James seems a no brainer in our current circumstances.

Although how can Doug (and fans) be expecting top 6 with a midfield of Eccles Allen Torp James Rudoni and an injury prone Sheaf?

I shot this down during the transfer window but now it's closed and we fumbled so spectacularly sign him up.

Here's the argument again for a back 4, front 5, and Sheaf running around in the middle. You can't get overrun in midfield if you don't have one.

Midfield still exists, you just don’t have anyone occupying it

Slightly bleak that we have to dip into the free agent market, but needs must.

We need someone to organise the midfield though as at the minute it looks like all three are singing from completely different hymn sheets.

Contract to January window might be an option? (if he'd take it) Wouldn't bother if you can keep Sheaf fit between now and then (but you can't guarantee that)

That's probably were we went wrong, putting choir boys in midfield isn't the best of ideas

First thought no but actually, on a 6 month or a ‘cheap’ deal on a 1 year, why not. Could be a shrewd move for both parties.

To be fair I’d give him the full year with an option to extend on our side. January is famously difficult market, why not have a back up set up.

Worst case, we sign a new number six and we let him go in May.

But we don't have anyone from Wycombe or the other lot?

The TOWN v The Choirboys, or is it Chairboys?

Having witnessed our lucky three points against Colchester on Tuesday evening I fully expect a better performance today and a defeat to Wycombe and that big fat lad they have up front.

James is a good anchor in midfield and will add what we’ve been missing. Think it’s a shrewd move

Someone messaged in to CWR on Friday night saying we should sign James as a free agent and I was well against it, but now I've done a complete 180 and think we should get this done

Even just for a year to have some extra experience in the squad and rotation for when Sheaf is back would be good.
You'd hope if he's training with Leicester as well, he won't be completely unfit

Robins said that we went after a young premier league player on loan, but it fell through at the last moment due to an injury.
That could of easily been the injury to Matty Cash.

I’d be happy with James on a one year deal.

Sure it’s a bit of an anti climax compared to signing a Stamenic or similar, but in Sheaf’s absence he’d be very useful. Better than Allen that’s for sure.

We went from Hamer, to Stamenic, to Browne, to Matty James. And pretty sure we're going to finish on Fleck.

Maybe these guys need the kick up the arse, had two windows at least to get this sorted, is Doug poking his nose in too much?

Fleck for the first half James for the second.

fleck could only play in the first half of games a total waste of talent for us.

I think part of the problem is we buy players that we can sell on at a profit sometimes you just need a player for now

It’s coming up with a solution. We need a squad that is capable of performing consistently. There is always a plan B.
