Started today for Brighton ahead of Adam Webster, I've got a feeling they may offer him a new deal

Players who play even just parts of games in the Premiership are almost ungettable on a permanent basis, their wages alone are £20/30k a week then there’s the fee.
Got to trawl the lower championship clubs and division one, two leagues, forwent divisions, Scotland perhaps then try for quality loans.

I really hope they come good, but it feels like our recruitment strategy at present is “kiss enough frogs”.

Don’t think any of them played first team football or even got on the bench much, Van Hecke did today.

It's a case of getting our final loan in, getting the 4 injured players back, not selling Vik until the summer and getting enough wins to be comfortably safe. Very difficult to make permanent signings in Jan unless you're a top prem club as no one wants to let good players go halfway through the season

CB is going to be that 12 year old Man City kid who couldn’t get a game at wherever he was before (Swansea?) calling it now.

They have quite a bit of room for improvement, I though the one that started was better as he put in a couple of decent crosses the other couldn’t lift the ball off the floor on corners.

Can you honestly see Norton Cuffey adapting to a wing back system?

I haven't seen enough of him to say one way or the other. It's clear both these signings are to make us more attacking. Could work like maatsen works.

Hopefully both okay as wingbacks in next game so we get closer to the answer

I can’t see him getting back and defending at all. Panzo Doyle and he in a back 5 is not a prospect I’d look forward to

Not an easy game for them to make a mark. I thought the introduction of mccallum at h/t snuffed out any threat Coffey posed. They are young lads and will have mixed form. Too early to judge them

He has played twice. Sat close to his side first half, it was clear he wasn’t on the same wavelength as Gyo and he kept going for crosses when they were never on.

But with time he should make better decisions.

It's a bit early for the left sided player but the other one doesn't look capable defensively. Looks potentially useful going forward but decision making is still pretty raw.

Noticed this yesterday from a Daily Mirror journo. Wonder whether we might be in for George Cox. Might tie in with what Robins was saying about possibly being close to signing someone for the summer. He also reports this morning that Undaz from Brighton will go out on loan to the Championship.

I don't get it if we are. Sounds like the loan CB is done which brings us to 5. If we get another loan in then we have to leave 1 of the 6 out each game

The back end of this window and the outlook for the rest of the season is screaming 11-12 relegation season. Scrambling for poor loans to bulk the squad out with kids and hope a decent striker that is our only goal threat keeps us up. Jutkiewicz then Vik now.

There are some parallels but we've got 35 points from 27 games at the moment compared with 22 from 27 in that season. Our biggest risk is not getting an experienced centre half in as we just cannot keep conceding at this rate.

we had a small squad on 31st dec. since then we have loaned out 2 and loaned in 2. the squad is still pathetically small. i want us to have a normal sized squad that can actually compete in the league and not implode when we have a couple of injuries. is that too much to ask?

Bowler.. couldnt play for another team a he already played for 2 teams this season. Connolly is no improvement to what we have. Knockaert is a high wage loan which id rather we spend on defence
