My guess is that there were probably cost and relationship issues with Liverpool that saw Morton getting more minutes than he warranted.

Earliest we can get another ESC player is January if we convert Kargbo and/or Toth. So we can firmly rule out any ESC player (this window, at least).

Rösler wouldn't need an ESC, might go back in for him if they offload Hyam. About right probably but don't see Pears going to Derby, he was Mowbrays mates son, Eustace was lumped with him and had no alternative to pick (god help us not Wahlsted), can't imagine he wants him again. Leonard I just don't see making it, and he's not set world alight in any loan spell he's had either.

I really liked JDT, but you'd need to have never seen a football to not bring Adam into the squad around that time. If anything, I criticise his handling of Wharton, who should have been playing far more in favour of the fairly abject Tyler Morton.

Not possible in this window due to him needing a ESC spot.

6ft 6, I like the sound of that and fits the Ismael mold.

Can't sign him. Would need a ESC slot

Wouldn't surprise me if we sign 3 or 4 players in the next 8 days. Expect Travis to Derby be confirmed tomorrow, Buckley going to Saudi, Pears to go maybe Derby, Leonard on loan or permanent. I would be against Leonard leaving permanently. Still think he has a future here. Need regular first team football. Derby will need a keeper if their number 1 leaves for Brentford as the rumours suggest.

We’re being linked with GAIS defender Filip Beckman. Anyone know anything about him? 22 year old centre half

At least potter doesn't come out with pretentious quotes after each game

JDT is the best manager we've had in the Venky era. He just wasn't a yes man and got sold a dream that turned into a nightmare

JDT used to do this too. Hate it. Sheff Utd away in the FA Cup springs to mind!

Going to back 5 wasn't why we lost that game?

Barnsley fans disagree and we will see. He will need to be a bloody good manager to achieve relative success at a club where the ownership seems hell bent on destruction rather than build and decline over aspiration and ambition.

I've watched both Espanyol games so far, tonight's game was entertaining. Dolan has done well so far on the right wing. His crossing has noticeably improved.

Nah Sarge is still there and still scoring. He’s probably the best striker in the league in my opinion. They lost Sainz though, although he seemed to have fallen from both grace and form in the latter half of the season. They’ve heavily reinvested a lot of the cash from him and Rowe etc (unlike us). Unproven new signings of yet though. Not sure how this one’s going to play out. Hopefully I’ll get the bragging rights over my canary mates down here.

And gave Adam W a platform and opportunity to shine. Think he was a great manager, simply didn’t suffer fools and I truly believe he would have had us promoted, if he had been backed by the stooges / owners.

English League 1 standard, obviously.

His record tells me otherwise, West Brom and Watford fans both said he’s a shocking manager

JDT unlocked Sammie

Sums it up very nicely. In my opinion, both really good managers in different ways, I also happen to think that Ismael is also a good manager and that the stooges and owners may have got lucky a third time.

Doing that last week certainly didnt see out a win!

The Elgins - Stay In My Lonely Arms

I don't agree there. Squad set up for 4-2-3-1. Ismael has started that way all this season. No problem changing it to back 5 to see a win out. Why does it look like we will play 3-4-3?

I agree that we played great, and will continue with 4231. But looking at the squad we are going to play 343 at some point.
