I really wish we didn't spend so much on centre halves and strikers.

We have no cover at RWB as well as CM.

Just gets better and better suppose with the 6 CB’s we have on the books, we could move Lati across but still, far from ideal.

Guess he will put Saka there, who hasn't been that convincing in that position.

Eccles was an option but he's covering midfield.

Lati or Eccles can play RWB. I presume after Robins'comments the other night he won't be playing Sakamoto there again.
Lati plays on Monday, bring back Thomas to RCB.
or Eccles moves to RWB and Allen comes in to CM.
It's crap to lose MVE, but we do have options.
Thank god Allen is back, and O'Hare not far away.
Is Isaac Moore close to being back? He's a CM and highly thought of

Lati will be up front and in goal next too.

It's poor that we don't have an actual backup right back.

If MVE does have a Quad Muscle tear. It's 3 months out minimum.

MR will probably persist with the wingbacks, despite not having a RWB to fill in.

Unless he shuffles it, puts Cake there, and drops Ayari into the ‘Hamer’ role.

I think it’s now showing, that this summers recruitment has been a tad short sighted.

I’d prefer to have Eccles at RWB and Allen in midfield. Sakamoto looks promising, but he’s not a wing back. He’d be a good option to bring on for palmer or Ayari.

I realise you despise Doug but you cant say it was a shit window. We should have signed another CM but apart from that i cant fault it. Some signings havent got going yet but its 7 games in. At the time the window closed we didnt have Sheaf And MVE with torn limbs.

I doubt Allen is ready to start and isn't this the opportunity to bring Ayari in?

JDS can also play on the right and has done in the past for Bristol. Robins might being Bidwell in at LWB and JDS to RWB. Not ideal.

Other option is Eccles or Lati. Lati played that position last season for Swansea I believe.

Then the debate is Saka in that position.

Were they? All I remember was dullards moaning about private boxes and the like all summer.

King has held up his end of the bargain - the success or failure of our signings ultimately rests with the recruitment team that made them.

Can you blame us?

most important window in the clubs recent history? Fucked it up with some signings

wright looks shite

sakamoto doesn’t fit anyway in our team

have one right back now we have none

don’t replace Gus even with another loan

sent out a competent back up in Burroughs, I think you can’t recall till January

kudos king and robins

I'm just saying we heard all this shite last year, how we were basically relegated already, and look what happened.

Poor planning or not we have what we have. Need to find the best free agents we can get and adjust tactics in the meantime.

I agree with you that it's not an ideal situation, and that there's question marks over some of the signings.

I just don't get the need for the absolute doom and gloom, and predictions of scrapping for 21st

Eccles to RWB would be the obvious choice, BUT given our lack of fit midfield options, IF Latibeaudiere (our best signing so far imo) can do a job at RWB, bring in Kitching or Thomas to the back 3.

I really would like to see the box midfield back too, Sakamoto alongside Allen, Palmer needs a rest. We need two players buzzing around that 10 area to occupy teams, Godden aside our movement off the ball in attacking areas has been shocking. Allen did more in 10 mins than the entire midfield when he came on vs Cardiff, i'm not Allen's biggest fan, but he does add something and can score goals...

I think moving JDS and bringing in Bidwell is exactly tly what he'll do.

Not sure how it's Dougs fault. He gave them the money back from the sales. If the players aren't good enough or they neglected important positions that literally everyone could see that's on Robins and the recruitment team, not King.

Latibeaudiere can definitely do a job there.

He played there quite a bit for Swansea last season.

So it's definitely an option, and as you say gives a chance to put Kitching or Thomas in.

He's also not going to be as offensive as MVE so can potentially provide a bit of extra cover to allow Ayari to start in the CM role.

What do you think offensively MVE has achieved so far?
