I still think we need a left wing-back and a striker
-
We've replaced three lost loanees with three potential as good / better players. Fantastic work Now, we need to replace the striker we've lost and strengthen the existing positions we were looking to strengthen before we lost a load of players.
-
Yes. But you are replacing a proven player with an unproven one. Just like with Balmer the other way. He proved he was <ovf censored> so his replace can either be better, as <ovf censored> or shitter.
-
I do agree let's see on Feb 1st but... Arblaster > Jenson Weir. Unproven loan replacement replacing our probably best player this season so far Devine > Gore probably coming in. Unproven loan replacement replacing arguably our best player in December Balmer > Williams = proven not good enough, unproved loan replacement Thomas > no replacement yet Conlon > no replacement yet I don't think you can argue we are replacing departing players with better permanent signings because we haven't made a permanent signing so far. Balmer wasn't good enough so his replacement is potentially better already. The other two might be better than what we had, or they might not. Like I say, I am waiting until Feb 1st to really judge things but I really hope we do improve our squad for the second half of the season.
-
I'm not judging the entire window as it hasn't finished but if it did finish today this would be an absolute disaster of a window. I do believe we will strengthen before the window closes though, so no panic here
-
Surely we are only letting him go if we have a replacement lined up. We've already lost one striker that needs replacing
-
Think it's a good signing personally. We at least knew Balmer wasn't good enough - he's got a chance to be better or worse.

Can't do more than 3 years at a club.

I thought Shrewsbury too but changed my mind to Exeter as I just think they're rubbish and unable to really change anything.
-
I think Fleetwood are as good as down and couldn't happen to a nicer club. Despite a better run of form currently Reading will also go down due to the off-field chaos and the forthcoming redundancies. I think Carlisle will also drop down as I don't think they have enough quality even with the new owners slapping a bit of cash about. I think Clarke will keep Cheltenham up looking at the upturn in form since he took over and so place for a team to go on a stinker of a run. Could be us, Cambridge, Burton, Shrewsbury or my pick, Exeter. Bottom four; Fleetwood Carlisle Reading Exeter

He's looked great at County and I would have loved him at Vale but clearly has suitors a bit higher up. Was also surprised to see Chesterfields manager linked with a championship job instead of a top league two / league one team despite him having done it all before

Perhaps a nice time to bring up my spreadsheet again https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgJIbYqtRCoAzMq40Tb7sm9yuKPqBeNIEhM9diFEp6Y/edit#gid=1580827280 For what its worth, with the emergence of Shorrock I think we still need a wingback - ideally one that can play on both sides. If Balmer were to go back it would be good to get another left-sided centre back in and with Arblaster and probably Conlon going we need another centre-mid - probably an attacking one as Devine seems better in a deeper role (presuming he isn't being recalled). I don't think we need to replace Cass right now if he goes and I'd expect Thomas to be recalled so we will need a new striker. Would like to see someone with pace who can change a game. 4 incoming - Wingback, Left footed centre back, Attacking Midfielder and Striker 4 outgoing - Cass, Conlon, Arblaster, Thomas
-
I'd play plant in his correct position above all the others. Let's develop our own
-
I don't think Devine was a planned signing - we just got told he was available and put our hat in the ring. I don't think we should have signed him though, we should have signed a left-back and let Plant play in his natural position behind the striker. That is of course if it was either/or
-
I think we need a left wing back but not in January - now. In Jan I think we will see Conlon, Cass and Wilson out so hopefully like for like replacements to come in
-
Wouldn’t worry about it, we won’t be.

Hi Rob, sorry if I put this thread in the wrong place - is there a better place in the forum? I switched to the app and it works totally fine. I'm on android 11 and chrome 110 - let me know if you need any further information Glitch is still happening so I can send over more screen grabs if needed. I haven't experienced this with any other website. No problem at all here - just wanted to let you know about it - you always do a wonderful job!
-
Had to move to the app as the browser version is totally unusable.
-
Hi Rob,. Getting some ugly looking things on my android when viewing the forum through chrome. Doesn't seem to be happening on any other website.
-
Reading the FG statement doesn't seem the manager signed any of the new players. He's been kept on until the new manager could be appointed
-
Joey Barton for me - perfect fit!

I think it's fine people stopped referring to his madness as representing Bury fc
