I do get it and I'm not taking sides but as we stand at the moment, I do think we've been chronically short of firepower.

I'm hoping GA's preference for two up front and a willingness to get the ball forward quicker helps but we potentially then lose width so it'll be a case of wait and see.

Obviously I'm hoping you're right and we continue banging them in but I do understand the worry in terms of firepower and how it's played out so far.

 

That’s fair .

 

What about the loan signings? They've hardly kicked a ball.

 

You can't just ignore the loan signings. What if we sign someone in a 12 months contract (the same length as most young loans), do we just ignore them if they don't play much of a part?

 

Chances are were paying less for a loan player.

I can't imagine Afoka is any kind of financial burden

 

An educated guess and a common sense approach can be adapted though.

 

What's that got to do with them being poor signings?

If we sign a load of cheap options does that mean we can celebrate a great window?

Oh wait ........ We did.

 

You've no idea what we're paying Ofoka. Neither have I.

 

He's a young lad on loan. I've no idea what his parent club are paying, but it's a fair and safe bet we're not paying his full wages.

I didn't even consider this controversial

 

Im not convinced, they were sent out to develop and if they arent developing they will probably be recalled, shopped around and if no takers then are better placed in their respected reserve/youth teams.

Finances wont come into it - more so with Oyegoke and Afoka.

 

I wish I had your confidence. Either way though I suppose we'll know by February.

 

It's like a kid judging your Christmas day haul on stocking fillers lol

They're just squad players.

They aren't doing any harm.

 

We shouldn't laugh but that sums up Harry's season so far, lets hope he gets some confidence back and start performing like the old Harry Lewis of last season, and the same for Andy Cook.

 

Very unlikely that we'd have brought in a quality player so late in the transfer window.

Tulloch and Afoka came in on deadline day.

 

Normally you're a sensible poster Jon and I'm sorry but this is just nonsense.

Perhaps you're just on a bit of a wind up and I'm daft for biting but I think you're absolutely miles off if you're even attempting to defend that transfer window, regardless of the little caveats you're trying to insert.

 

It's not as bad as some are pretending.

Good? Nah. Horrendous? Also nah.

 

He's actually the only one I'd keep at a push. Only as back up but he could fill in Hallidays wing back role we seem to have adopted.

I'm not surprised if he goes elsewhere though once he's fit again. He's got all the physical attributes so Brentford will want to try and develop his technical ones in the hope he'll kick on.

 

kick on as what Fortnite playstation champion. no footy player there

 

Its time for another update...

Smith = 7
Walker = 5
Pattison = 3
Gilliead = 3
Odour = 2
Tulloch = 1

 

And not forgetting Jake Young - on 15! Now where would we be with those goals?
