The sponsor issue has fecked things up, but you would wonder if that is responsible for the delay or just another issue

Did we play Tosin right-back? Harsh to say Cunningham wasn't money well spent, you can't guarantee a player won't getting injured. He was a good signing.

Changed that for you. Ah no, that would be very risky. Lenihan is nervy anyway, I can't see a young keeper and CB partner helping that.

Unfortunately scoring an OG on your debut doesn't point to you being as good as 2 top level PL center halves, but we can all hope for the best.

God, i'm finding it difficult to find an adjective to describe that team. So many running through my had. I will go with depressing.

So you would be happy with Wharton, Lenihan and Williams? I wouldn't.

We still need another center half

You don't just header it in an attempt to score!

Grim , isn't it?

We look slightly stronger on the left.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18660741.analysed-players---mowbray-doncaster-cup-tie/ It begins. Mowbray on Doncaster I like Doncaster, I've watched them a fair bit, including over this summer, analysing one or two of their players,” Mowbray told the club website. “They have good players and it won't be an easy game, that's for sure. “There are no easy games in football, even if you'd hope that we can beat Doncaster Rovers at home. We know all too well from the last meeting with them at Ewood Park that it's not that straightforward.

He is holding the team together in many ways, although you could argue he also holds it back in other ways. I have a feeling he won't last the season and barring Johnson works out then(or even wants it) we could be in for a tough season.

Do you think a young keeper on loan as our number 1 is satisfactory? After selling Raya for £3 million

Ah ya Pedersen had a decent header for a winger. Just wish it was someone else on the end of that one!

Jesus, what an article

You reckon? Hard to know. No doubt there is something bad happening if after releasing all those players, we can't get the Downing contract sorted. I don't think even Chaddy could deny that. Urgh.......

We still need another centre half

You would imagine a keeper would have been signed early at a normal functioning club.

Mowbray doesn't know his budget yet. I think that is fairly apparent at this point.

Clearly a bad boy

Quotes from the Brentford manager on Goode. Like the reference no non-league. Also, sounds EXACTLY like the player we need. £1 bloody million. Ridiculous. Brentford head coach Thomas Frank said: “I’d like to welcome Charlie to the club. Charlie is a player I really like; he is an aggressive defender and a big aerial threat in both boxes, which is a big thing for us. He has good quality on the ball which we feel we can develop further within our style of play. "The pathway through the non-league and lower leagues develops you hugely as a person and builds your character in ways that I really like. I feel Charlie can add something to the team in that regard, especially given his leadership qualities. "We are sure that he will grow and develop further with us over the coming years and that, in turn, he will help us go forward as a Club too.”

£1 million fee for Goode. No doubt that's going to be a bargain. They wanted Wharton on loan. Surely we could have struck some deal with them involving him going there on loan and us signing Goode. Ya, things aren't GOOD here. Not good at all. Queue the "we weren't interested in him anyway" brigade. If Brentford were, the general rule of thumb these days is that we should have been, especially at that price.

Well they are arguably the best players the academy has produced recently

On the ball I would say,but unfortunately the "grow to sell" policy will bypass those we spent money on due to no interest and go straight to prized jewels like Travis and Nyambe.

Wow. IF that's true, which of course is a possibility it really puts pay to Mowbrays "slow build" philosophy. Along with the issue of Gallagher and Brereton really coming to the fore.
