Plan B will be to change formation - perhaps the Box will make a comeback.

Saka did look tired last night.

changing back to 5 atb is the definition of our season going to shit

We did it at Wednesday in the cup and it was dreadful to watch

Or we just sign one or two players so we don’t have to change the formation

it’s quite poor if we don’t sign anyone

Blackburn looking at David Brekalo, who got sent off for decking his own goalkeeper but actually only pushed him in the chest but the keeper went down holding his face!!
He'd fit in well here with Kitching hahaha

Those 4 would likely just get in each others way.

Yeah think we’re finished in terms of incomings, oh well let’s hope we have luck with injuries.

As robins says one or two more and it’s at disaster point, really thought we’d see at least a loan player in

When do we never have a small squad?

So is Haaland Surely can't be a coincidence they're both on the bench, and they're both Norwegian, when Bobb's coming to Cov.

MR is generally pretty honest on transfer deadlines, if we’re trying to complete deals he says so and if we have nothing going, likewise.

Not ruling it out of course

But i really feel if we dont get some cover in them wing or Striker positions, we are basically writing this season off as nothing more than a punt, which i find very odd considering our current league position

No meltdown, will just be pissed off as we have no depth our wide and it’ll cost us in my opinion, and many others.

we needed a little boost to keep up this momentum, doesn’t look like we’ll get it, and it rules us out of the top six race

I totally agree.

if you are 6th come February and you have money to invest it’s strange if you don’t. I assume it’s because we have missed out on our targets rather than lack of ambition.

It will baffle me if we don't, because surely there are players out there and we can't be that tight budget wise.

OK. What if Kitching gets injured. Van Ewijk? Bidwell? Collins? O’Hare? Thomas? Do we have players of their ability to come in? That’s what a squad is. We can’t cover everything. But we seem hung up on cover for Saka and Wright.

Yes because we have good depth everywhere but wide forward? What’s so hard to understand

Based on his comments I don’t think King agrees but doesn’t want to overrule MR

Honestly!! So you have no faith in the players who have us where we are now. Crazy logic.

Binks in for Kitching
Lati in for MVE
Dasilva in for Bidwell
Wilson in for Collins
Palmer in for O'Hare
Binks/Lati in for Thomas

They are all reasonable backups. There really isn't a reasonable backup option for Saka.

Sakamoto and Wright are the only players really that can play those 2 positions, to not even bring in 1 who could maybe go either side is completely baffling.

To be fair Palmer is ok out there, it’s more the right side.

It’s not about not having faith, it’s about not having cover. If Sakamoto gets injured we are fucked as we would more likely have to revert to wingbacks which wasn’t exactly working

I have to agree, it seems really odd given we wouldn't need a great deal to strengthen.

For the first game and a half of the back 4 Sakamoto was a sub.
