Loan prevents him playing against us at Ewood Park?

When he says 3 out I wonder if there's one we're not really expecting like maybe Allen.

I'm not sure we're in a position to let Allen go, especially with Sheaf injured

i think we need Allen back in the side to be honest. Probably in the O'Hare role to provide more support to the other 2 midfielders in the transition. We will get overrun in there without Sheaf.

I think you could try no proper striker

Collins

MVE Thomas Kitch Bidwell

Eccles Torp Allen

Saka Ohare Wright

But where do you play him?

He struggles at CM and obviously isn't going to start ahead of O'Hare so it's difficult for him to get in the side in this system.

History dictates we have had good runs of form with him out the team, but he's played well recently and been one of our better players. You saw yesterday that he was missed badly, but then again I also put some of that on the substitution choice. Latibeaudiere isn't the answer whatsoever, and we'll struggle going forwards if he is.

Think Torp and Eccles are going to have to step up. Going to probably have to throw both in earlier and more often than expected.

Allen is a good squad player but just not quick (short stride is quick enough but doesn’t cover the ground quickly to track back or run on to a forward ball - just my observation) or physical enough to be where we need to be. Obviously, doesn’t offer much in the air.

He does have good ability to read the game though.

Allen is a pretty underrated in my view. Scored some really important goals for us last season. Proper goals as well. Broke the deadlock in multiple games that we went on to win. By contrast, I'm always critical of Palmer for this. If a game is tied at 0-0 you'd never back him to make a breakthrough.

i never knock Allen but he was poor when he came on at Sheffield last Friday, not on his own but imo put him behind Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, COH Tatsu & Joel,

I’d rather Allen play in that deeper midfield role than Lati.

I really rate lati as a centre back or a right back, he’s not a midfielder at this level imo

100% Allen can play that role. Think Robins was taken by surprise and because it was so early opted for safer option lats.

Whats that his 2nd or 3rd injury this season?. I'm sure there was another mid season last season.

Langstaff isn't going anywhere in this season and Derby can't even afford Michael Smith on loan from Sheff Wed so they won't be splashing 1.5 million on anyone.

At this point I wouldn’t mind us spending £1.5m on him.

Without a few more bodies in I think we’ll just miss out on the playoffs.

If we're looking for League Two strikers then we should go get Ali Al-Hamadi from Wimbledon.
