Incomings yes
I actually think we’ve actually handled player exits fairly well.
we’ve just got to have a bit of good fortune till January and then I’m convinced we’ll spend again
Incomings yesThin on quality in the CM squad depth then. It’s the fact we’ve sold our captain and a very good CM and now have to promote Allen and Andrews in the pecking order, where people were arguing prior to the end of the window Andrews needs a loan and Allen isn’t at the level anymore. But instead we are now reliant on them as squad players.
Yes the wings are paper thin, the final day letting Rapha and Sheaf go without replacement is bizarre.
Whichever way we try and dress it up, the transfer window in terms of outgoings and incomings has been a cock up.
you don’t think we could sign a better midfielder than Andrews or Allen just because they won’t sit on the bench?
That in my opinion will be too late. Don’t get me wrong, it is not that I wanted the club to panic and spend silly money but our depth is not ideal and when we play the genuine top 6 clubs it will be evident how short we are when you see the strength they have on the bench v ours.Incomings yes

I hope we’d be ok. It’s a game once a week at the moment.That in my opinion will be too late.

look at Boro or Ipswich squad and the level they have not in the first 11 is scary, and players who have the ability to come on and change a game. I fear what we bring on is just to try to keep some sort of shape.
We don't need to - we've got Eccles.you don’t think we could sign a better midfielder than Andrews or Allen just because they won’t sit on the bench?
ah yes an injured playerWe don't need to - we've got Eccles.
Who played in the last U21 matchah yes an injured player
You enjoy championship football because we’re now a decent team in this division.
A single PL season, done correctly, would cement our place at the top end of the Championship for several years to come
Eccles is a completely different type of player to Grimes and SheafWe don't need to - we've got Eccles.
I'm not sure teams know how to do it properly.
The thing is, we could do an Ipswich and it would be great for a year but it quickly turns. Their fans are now entitled and are currently disappointed with their window. If they don't go up this season, it will be a failure.
I bet the atmosphere and excitement at Ipswich this season won't be as good as it was 2 seasons ago.
I worry people aren't enjoying the 'journey' because they are getting worked up about us potentially missing out again.

Sheaf is different to Grimes as well - you're never going to get exactly the same player.Eccles is a completely different type of player to Grimes and Sheaf
excles couldnot play in the role Grimes doesSheaf is different to Grimes as well - you're never going to get exactly the same player.
Eccles could fill in as a 6 or an 8.
The sycophants are out in full force this week. Eccles as a 6, fuck meexcles couldnot play in the role Grimes does
I'd argue neither could Sheaf. He takes far toolong to assess his options and move the ball on. Plus he's far more prone to get caught in possession or play a stray pass.excles couldnot play in the role Grimes does
I think this was the year to really have a go. No team will get to 100 points this season never mind 2. 3 extra quality players to make the squad 25 could really have made the difference. If it didn't work out we have 5 or 6 players we could have sold on to balance the books at the end of the season if required and started again.
What would you have expected the club to do differently?'The window was poor in general and the end of it was a bit of a shit thing to do to fans'.
Shift more of the deadwood, sign a player to replace our captain and not leave us in a position to consider full backs as cover for on the wingWhat would you have expected the club to do differently?
I meant communication wise.Shift more of the deadwood, sign a player to replace our captain and not leave us in a position to consider full backs as cover for on the wing
Are you questioning the owner who bought us a stadium?I meant communication wise.
I’m sure we wanted to do more in the window. I get the feeling that DK is potentially the reason why we didn’t- our dealings under him seem pretty rigid, and if they don’t happen that’s it.
