    Loaning out BFG who clears so much in the air, and leaves us without a CB of that nature, seems crazy to me unless we have a replacement lined up. He is probably our best CB. Without an incoming CB we are left with Hall and Barbet who have serious recent injury issues, Masterson who is young and liable to lose form as MW was saying Tuesday, and an ageing Cameron who is suspended for the next 2, and is better in other positions than CB.

    Up front we have only Hugill. Not overwhelmed by our Keepers either.

    Really hope we do have some on the way in that have been kept quiet.

    Hi Hoops fans - just thought I’d pop over and say hi - considering the rumour mill noise happening at the moment.
    This post caught my eye in particular - now I’m not sure if any of you have watched our team of late (no reason why you should of course - unless we’re playing you) but we have a certain Nicolas Elliasson playing for us, who happens to be the top provider of assists in the Championship:
    https://www.espn.co.uk/soccer/stats...vice/featurephone/english-league-championship
    ... with this in mind, IF the deal goes through, then Wells would have plenty of chances given to him on a plate. It’s our FINISHING that hasn’t been great since Afobe got injured. Of course, I don’t follow your team so Wells’s assists might be coming from multiple sources, but our creation of chances isn’t too bad. It’s just been frustrating to see top crosses and through balls being played with nobody getting on the end of them. Of course we ARE scoring goals, but we certainly are not scoring for fun, so I definitely think he’d get a few in our setup. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    In that case a very smart bit of PR by the club with their statement they were doing a they could to keep Wells. In truth that was Probably not very much!

    I've expected Eze to go, but losing BOS would be a real blow. He could be the difference between staying in the Championship and dropping to the third tier imho

    The wells thing was taken out of the clubs hand, they probably did try but when City came in that was it & couldn’t compete & don’t blame them.

    Tomorrow is the last day for us to file our 2019 accounts. I wonder if a default will give rise to another FA sanction or fine.

    I’m genuinely astounded by the Leistner news. Just seems an awful decision even if someone else is coming in. Hall is ****e. Masterson is promising but unproven. That’s literally it for fit centre-halves.

    Agree with you that our options there aren't appealing but MW probably feels with Barbet back, he's got 3 CB's, Wallace and Cameron as cover there too if desperate. We can replace Leinster in the Summer, he's your typical run of the mill head it and kick it CB, plenty of those about.

    I'll expect us to amble over the finishing line picking up points where we can, won't be pretty.

    We’d have been better getting rid of Penalty Barbet. Can’t imagine there is a significant wage cost difference between BFG and him.

    Mmm, I like Toni, but I actually think he's our weakest centre back.
    Agreed he is good in the air but his positioning is all over the shop.
    Also agree that we will be very short of centre backs unless someone is lined up.
    Surely we wouldn't have loaned him out if there's no one incoming?

    Reality check here chaps.
    We have Hall, Barbet and Masterson who are now all in front of him in the pecking order. If two are injured Cameron can play CB. 15k per week off the books!
    If you had been told a week ago that Scowen and Leistner were going but BOS, Eze, Manning and Chair were all staying you would have been doing cartwheels!

    The Jack Clarke signing still doesnt make sense though. Unless BOS goes tomorrow.

    Totally agree yet again col. I have screamed at the tv this season over his positioning and losing his man. In my opinion, we looked dodgy as hell with him and hall together. Not a great loss to be fair. I like young Masterson and i rate Barbet. Hall is decent but not with leistner!

    Everything I've seen this season tells me MW knows f*ck all about defending apart from repeatedly saying we give away soft goals, doesn't augur well for the remainder of the season...

    Cameron is awful at centre back and Barbet is a n injury risk.
    We need another centre back imo.
