Though he is capable of goals he doesn't fit too well due to his non striker attributes. I think we would only let him go if we line someone up first. Any ideas on who though? Might be another position too. Maybe a utility type. I agree. I could see Paterson ending up at Middlesbrough on deadline day. As I said in an earlier post I think the way we’ll develop under Moore is with a view to players being comfortable popping up in any position on the pitch. So we could see a little bit of movement on the recruitment front over the next couple of days. I’m looking forward to seeing how we develop under Moore, it could be exciting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offers alot of different options for a league one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to seeing how we develop under Moore, it could be exciting I thought this a few weeks ago and could see Colin looking at El Pato. If so, I would get rid. He’s on big money and he isn’t a starter in our team when everyone is available. If we could get rid of him, I’d bring a 3rd central striker in with pace as another option. But I wouldn’t bring any in unless we can offload as we have enough in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 El Pato is a tricky one as nobody can seem to work out his position. If we could get rid and bring in another striker I would do it. An injury to someone like Gregory would be bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Do we need a defensive midfielder now Luongo seemingly out for a good chunk of the season? Still would like to see a CF who's a good target man brought in or a LB who's left footed. TBH if we do no further business, we've done good business in this window.

Luongo is the only "defensive" minded midfield we've got. Byers sit deep, but is more of a playmaker, Wing likes to get forward and Adeniran is a typical box to box midfielder. Luongo proved the worth of a genuine defensive midfielder away at Rotherham. If he's going to be missing for a long period, then I think it's imperative we replace him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown is a left footed left back isn’t he? And Gibson is a left footed defender who can play left back or centre back. And Johnson played well there on Saturday and Palmer has done okay too So I think we’re alright in that position. But I fully agree that a CF target man is needed, and maybe a defensive midfielder if Luongo is out for a long time.

Suppose we have adenrian and Dele / Byers but maybe they are maybe more deep players as opposed to actual defensive mids . Left back who is left footed is Jayden brown , IMO he won’t play left wing very much when Shodipo . Windass Theo and sow are all fit and ready . Cf target man - pato, kamberi , Gregory all above 6ft , realistically a cb due to our injury issues there with a few injury prone players . Maybe a cdm if mass long term but maybe . does Moore want another attacker , since green went ? We shall see , as mentioned if nobody comes in it’s really not an issue as the window has been really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screen Door Slams Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Someone who can play as a defensive midfielder and is also comfortable at centre half would be ideal..............dont ask me who though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Another striker is a must. Based on where the club are, my dream player would be a Geoff Horsfield type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Given we are only allowed to sign frees, it's likely any signings would need a month or more to get match fit, therefore not going to make an immediate impact. Maybe, once the suspended points penalty reduces in December, we may be able to do more business in January if needed. We've still got Shodipo, Sow, Gibson who haven't played a competitive league game yet. After one loss, don't think we need to panic, let's work with what we've got for the time being.

fudge27 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 No point having players like Dele Bashiru, Waldock, Brennan, Adedoyin if you can't use them to cover Injuries for 5-10 games a season. That's how you expose them to 1st team football if you can't get them a love move. I'd be quite disappointed if we brought in another CB, CM or CF with that in mind, unless someone's out the door too 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question . from what I’ve seen Dele more of a box to box and waldock a passer (maybe in the Byers mould ) granted not seen much of the lad good point re Brennan for the cb cover , personally be tempted to get him out on loan to l2 , maybe conference mind . Potentially same goes for waldock, get them game time and physicality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially same goes for waldock, get them game time and physicality Waldock played DM for both U-18 and U-23 sides with Alex Hunt next to him. He knows the role, it is only if we trust him to be good enough to play at this level. If his debut last season against Fulham is anything to go by, He should be good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Would love us to sign another forward and Sam Morsy or similar to replace Luongo. I do love a transfer deadline day, even better when we sign a player or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
