free hit for both teams really

I hope we have a couple of signings in the bag over the weekend.

we've had 3 weeks and done nothing.
frustrating

We need to. It’d be a huge huge gamble if we don’t bring in a couple. And I think it would backfire

Trouble is Tad there's hardly any movement from the Premier league... everyone is spooked by FFP.

Plus, any loan signing isn't guaranteed minutes at the moment. Most clubs and players want minutes for their loan players, and unless someone gets injured (it's likely, but not guaranteed) then most loan players are likely to be on the bench, and if so, I'm sure they prefer to be on the bench in the PL than in the championship

people say we are close to ffp yet 2 weeks before the season we were paying £6m for max Aaron's. must some some room

I can understand the frustration from a number of Championship Managers who say the January window is a nightmare.
Like you have said PL teams want their players to get game time and not sit on the bench.
Perfect example was that of Carvalho who would have been a great signing for us but we couldn`t guarantee game time.
I`m sure we signed Spence with a view to him playing on a regular basis.
So we must be able to guarantee a new RB coming in to the team will play more often than not.
Whilst Gray has been great he is not imo a RB and depending on the severity of his injury we are relying on Byram and Shackleton who also have an injury waiting to happen.

just realised bristol city play at Coventry Tuesday then us friday

Really?
I was already moaning that they have an extra day to us.
I was thinking if they draw their game tonight the replay might be Tuesday but not if they are playing Coventry.
If we draw with Plymouth when is it scheduled to be replayed?

no idea. the police usually insist on 10 days so I guess a week on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Brighton are in advanced negotiations for Dewsbury-Hall. 30m.
Ndidi is also out for 2 months.

Massive blows

First half good second half going through the motions.
Ampadu and Anthony very good.
Messlier managed to find the man once with his dead ball kicks.
Whilst it`s nice to win and I personally would have rested Ampadu and Rutter and now we go again in to an already busy few weeks.
Draw MU at home and it might make it more enjoyable although I`m sure they will get Maidstone in the next round.

difficult when you make changes and it's people who have had little game time or recovering from lay offs. we ran out of steam too after 3 games in 6 days. paid for not being out of sight at half time
