Grant shouldn't be anywhere near the squad. Id prefer sharrock to play. 

Agree on grant vs Shorrock. Shorrock is short of experience but full of tenacity and guile

If we are still pursuing free agents it would give everyone a good lift if the club could let it be known via Baggers/RS etc.

Doesn't Moore say exactly that in his latest press conference?

I don't know mate as I haven't watched it. Just about to look it up. 

[Doha]

Ah. That suggests to me that DM doesn't have specific targets in mind/is in talks with, just that they're open to free agents. 🫣

 

[leedsvaliant]

He's not the most articulate is DM but you can tell he's enthused. Surely that's got to rub off on to the players?

[Guest]

Moore said it takes some free agents up to 7 weeks get up to speed by then there's no point getting one .

But he didn't say they weren't looking  so maybe they are .

Maybe there's one up and ready to go straight into the team hope so be good I'd they announced one today and he was ready go straight in tomoz .

Its just a sound bite to appease us that they are trying - bit like the comedy sketch (sorry DOF interview) where we were so close to signing xxxxx players in the Jan window

I don’t think it’s a case of just going & getting any striker who’s a free agent. It won’t be easy to find one who’s near match fit & can benefit the team straight away which is pretty much needed as one thing we don’t have is time. After all they are free agents for a reason. Should never have been in this position in the first place. What a mess, I think it’s going to be a case of carrying on with the squad we’ve got from now until end of season. I do feel we’ve got a few goals in this side albeit not a lot my main concern right now is how many we concede. A clean sheet starting Saturday would be nice

I think garrity being back is better than any new transfer for us. We desperately miss him.

Looks alright that mate although if Clark is fit enough I’d replace Lowe. And I think Willo should start this game with us being at home we should have a bit more possession which will suit him & enable him to link up & create more. Or play both strikers, not sure we need two holding midfielders in a game at home we’re needing to win

True but we need him to hit the ground running, it can take players a while get back upto speed. He’s been a big miss that’s for sure
