Wonder if this strengthens our resolve to bring in a first team ready replacement in Flint, considering we're now playing 2 game a week for the next month or so. could be wrong but I thought I read Iorfa was going to be out for a month. Think it’s so important we get him and Brown back ASAP though. 2 very good players. Edited October 15, 2020 by WalthamOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d even go as far as saying the day we signed Reach is when we started to go off the rails? Talented player on his day but Carlos had no idea how to use him and neither have most of his successors. Decent left peg but very pedestrian and lightweight player IMO? Ok...much better...happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look the teams who have been promoted in recent years from League 1, to realise this. Leicester, Southampton, Brighton, Leeds, Norwich, Wolves, Sheffield United, Bournemouth.... A major reset is needed. The points deduction gives the players a reason not to be disheartened. Forget this season. Sell Bannan, Iorfa. Start building for next season in League 1 now. Young, hungry players. Lets have a full team of them we can proud of. You make it sound like a piece of cake. Remember that some of these clubs will go bust too. It’s VITAL that we stay up!

With 5 experienced central defenders on the books, and others who can play there we should have enough It does however throw up the question of why did we sign Dunkley when he might miss a quarter of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume Borner will take Lees place in the centre, but who goes on the right anyone's guess. Expect Uroghide has been preparing in case Palmer not fit? It's not a back 3 that inspires me with confidence and given we can't score goals, a little concerned for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent left peg but very pedestrian and lightweight player IMO? Reach was fit and available while players like Hooper was playing golf , FF riding his bike , Abdi in the casino etc Players who had absolutely no interest at all in earning their money or putting some effort in for our club. Reach carried us the season Jos kept us up and has played all over the pitch. Yet you think he’s been the problem and not players who have had millions of our and DC’s cash without any return at all. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Might be wrong but don't think we'll get much or if any more business done between now and before the window closes? Hoping we can make use of the loan market and bring in the extra quality we need but it looks like we'll be priced out by clubs that have sold players and/or receive parachute payments. We still need to replace Murphy's and Fletcher's threat and effectiveness. Ultimately we're paying the price for poor recruitment and mismanagement, ever since the failed play off campaigns. Hope to be surprised before the window closes and proven wrong in a positive way by Monk this season.

The Night-Owl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Liverpool have reportedly rejected the Swans' loan offer for Harry Wilson. With Jurgen Klopp willing to let the 23-year-old leave Anfield on loan, Swansea had been hopeful that Rhian Brewster's successful stint would sway the Reds' decision - but Liverpool apparently want a loan fee of around £1m and Swansea's initial approach is said to have been knocked back.
