They’ve got 5 or 6 players now in the wide position maybe Allardyce will try to get a couple off the wage bill to put towards the signings I suppose it makes sense, he’s be quality Link to post Share on other sites

At Brentford he made some decent through balls that didn't come off baring that did nothing. He doesn't take the game by the scruff of the neck and score us match winning goals like I expected him to do when he joined. He doesn't run at defences shoot goal. He runs shoots into defenders legs for no reason He came on after 81 minutes. Barely time to make an impact. I don't know the reason why he isn't getting game time, but Warnock used him to good effect at the end of last season. He needs run of at least 3 or 4 games. He hasn't even had two starts in a row this season, and there have been many times when we have needed something different. One thing I do know is that he has started 3 times in the league and we have won them all (Bristol City away, Coventry and Derby at home). Maybe now is the time to give him a run in the team? 5 Link to post Share on other sites

If City take PB back then there is a chance that YB could be back on the agenda. I'd rather have Roberts. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Johnson 616 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Bolasie might be match fit - for the last game of the season...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If, and if anyone comes in they would need to be match fit and bond quickly with the team players to have any immediate impact. If we do sign anyone do you think NW will stop waiting until the 75th min to change strategy? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Warnock was using roberts regularly last season, I remember being gutted he got injured as we looked a totally different team when he wasn’t playing. God knows what’s gone on between then and this season. I wonder if he’s another ‘gift’ that we got over a player warnock really wanted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Given you seem to predict we will lose most games I assume you would think there are weaknesses across the entire team that need addressing. Therefore might as well start some of that rebuild now if we can so the major overhaul in summer which I assume you believe squad needs is not as demanding. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 1 hour ago, TheJew said: I actually don't see the point in signing anyone this window. I agree, very rarely do clubs allow decent players to leave in the January window. If a particular "bargain" becomes available then fine but we usually overpay to sign dross that most of us on here know will crash and burn before a ball is kicked, (Guedioura and Gestede come all too readily readily to mind). Whoever comes in needs to be available to play immediately and not waiting until they get fit. It makes more sense to loan players at this stage and then do our shopping in the Summer when 150 contracts will have have expired. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing to suggest Hall has persistent injuries like Ayala, he had a bad one but then played 30 games last season before the season was paused. There is nothing to say he can't find fitness long term for us Link to post Share on other sites
Priv 12 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 8 hours ago, TheJew said: I actually don't see the point in signing anyone this window. I kind of get this, we won’t go down but it’s unlikely we will go up or even make the playoffs, we are just way too inconsistent and don’t score enough, and until we clear out the strike force and get abit more creativity we are unlikely to have much money to spend. January signings also usually take a while to settle and get up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I think we would need to see a departure or two for any signs of incomings but you never know Link to post Share on other sites
