Midfield a bit soft.
Maybe when Coopers fit Phillips back to midfield to give it some bite.
Still need that keeper and a midfielder and get Brown and Bamford back on the park.
A draw on tuesday at least.

def need a keeper. Ford has and klich looking a little weary. the squad is light. 3 minimum should come in

Joe Hart could be available soon, been dropped by Burnley and Nick Pope is back shortly so he will be number 3 there. I know he hasn't been great for the last few seasons but with his experience could be good at championship level.

I was thinking the same Bifff but he seems to have lost it these past couple of years.
Where's the guy Liverpool signed from Huddersfield.
Always thought he would have been good in the championship.
As mentioned the midfield's looking tired especially the way we play and needs freshening up.

Whilst we played a few more youngsters today QPR were there for the taking.
BPF pulled off 3 or 4 excellent saves and Halme was playing well in defence.
Bad decision to take him off at HT.
Davis had a poor game so did Baker and Harrison.
Roberts could have had a couple of goals in the first half and was unlucky.
We need 8 points at least from our next 4 games otherwise I can see our confidence getting knocked.

tough month ahead

Harrison been poor for a while. Had a half decent 45 against Forrest. It's essential we invest in Jan.

Yes agree with that although I would have kept him on against Forest as he seemed to be getting the better of the fullback.
At least 3 new signings or if we could swap our two loanees in Harrison and Baker that would help.
We need to get Brown and Bamford on the park along with Cooper allowing Philipps to move back to mid field.
Of the youngsters Clarke, Shackleton and Halme have done better than I expected.
If we can beat Derby and Norwich and get at least a point against Stoke then we are back in business.
Anything less and I would be worried.

Halme should have been partnering Jansson since the Sheff Utd game for me as he looked solid enough and has height which we lack.

We need to sign a couple for sure but no need to panic yet. If you had been offered 20 games for promotion sitting 2 points clear at the top in January i guess most would have taken that in august. Hopefully the rest the bulk of the squad have had will have done some good, fridays game is huge.

Biggest game of season so far is Friday for me. Win it we're back in business.

This is going to be a very interesting window IMO. Baker could be going back to Chelsea due to not having a chance, we’ve already lost Saiz and Blackman, then Shaunessy, Coyle and OConnor out on loan. We’ve got to bring a few in surely, especially with injuries we’ve had.

we should regardless. you can see with his teams have a
reputation for blowing up

Hernandez out injured now along with Douglas. Baker gone back. Do well to get a draw Friday.

That`s the problem with a small squad also add Phillips missing too.
I see some of the top 6 clubs already strengthening.
Sheff Utd made a good signing this week.
Maybe play Halme, Cooper and Pontus as a back 3 with Ayling and Shackleton filling in the midfield alongside Forshaw, Alioski and Harrison. Roofe and Roberts up front.
