He did a full season at Birmingham, getting the most points for them in a season since 2016, then he had a really good 3 months the following season and left them sitting in 6th. Took over a bit of a mess here, and while unconvincing did stop the slide to some degree by making us a lot harder to beat, then this season after 27 games has us sat in 5th. Eustace won't have to wait to long again for a Championship job should he become available.

Including Hilton, and omitting Wharton, Garrett, Leonard and Gilsenan, that's 24 registered players for our squad. How are we going to get the 4 we desperately need in considering we can only register 25? Only one I could see leaving is McFadzean.

Yep, which in turn has made the competition a bit crap. TV has killed it unfortunately.

Moved for iplayer. Not even real TV. Also the two best ties moved to Monday and Tuesday night. And there is still folk out there wondering why nobody bothers with this crap competition anymore.

Don't really fancy us tomorrow, they are in great form and Rowett will play us at our own game, sit in, defend well and frustrate. Oxford 1 Rovers 0

Well he signed a new long term contract back in March, so not anytime soon I would wager!

Lampard saying nothing happening with Asante.

Hoping something as cheap as possible drops into his lap at the last minute. I don't think we'll have anything sorted before we play Preston, we'll be scrapping around on deadline day.

I would say there is absolutely no chance of us getting BTA, or any striker in before we play Coventry on Tuesday. I don't think BTA happens anyway, we won't pay the fee.

Played for them in the 22-23 season.

Is our meagre budget going to cover a striker, winger and left back? I just don't see it.

I know we desperately need a striker and a winger, but we need some cover for Beck too if Pickering isn't going to be back until March, I have a feeling they would put Brittain out there though if Beck isn't available and use JRC or Sanderson at right back.

I think he will keep it much the same as last night, hoping to keep it tight in the first half again. Like has been said Gueye and ACD for me are good impact players but not starters. Maybe Leonard in for either Weimann, Hedges or Dolan.

Find it strange that folk are saying that Asante has "no resale value". He's just turned 26, at this level you only need to hit a purple patch for a few months and sides higher up the table looking to get over the line might just take a punt at £5m or so. Who thought Szmodics would have such good resale value when we signed him as a bit of a plodding 26 year old? Now, I don't know if BTA is the answer to our goalscoring problems, his record doesn't suggest so, but he always looks sharp and pretty quick so he could be a really useful outlet to compliment what we already have. For what it's worth I dont believe it will happen because I don't think we will pay any kind of fee to get the deal done, where as Stoke won't mess about and just pay what Cov want, and I imagine working under Robins will be attractive to him again.

I'd take you over Bamford.

We had lost 5 out of our previous 8 at the time of the original game, although had just won 3-1 at Cardiff the game before.

I fully believe there will be. I think they will always as a last resort put in just enough to keep administration away.

The biggest give away is 1.75m, be amazed if we are paying that for anyone.

Same guy who reckons we want Diaz back. Ignore.

Unfortunately I don't think our owners will allow us to do better than that.

I was thinking someone like Tom Bradshaw at Millwall would be right up our street at the minute. Championship experience, not really played much this season, and most importantly, cheap.

Two loan spots left, I imagine we will fill those with the two positions we need in the last week of the window.

Choose not to afford*

I'd think Dolan will try his luck in the summer rather than jump to Swansea now, if the interest is genuine of course. It's a dubious source at best.

I don't accept that we "don't have the money". We should have the money after the past 18 months and we are also being told repeatedly that there is no impediment to funding. We are choosing not to spend it.
