All quiet on the manager front. Palace next week could be a pivotal point in our season. Win with a decent performance and we would be somewhere near mid table with some much needed confidence under our belts. And i truly believe confidence is our biggest issue at the moment. Our midfield and forwards need to chip in with some goals and confidence could be the catalyst for them to do that. Niasse and rooney should get 10 - 15 each this season.
Then give Unsy it till the summer, maybe look at a couple of loans in January, no9 and a CB.
Then back on it in the summer.

Loans are not going to be enough Smit. We desperately need to improve the defense, look how many goals we have let in so far this season. We need a new big and established center-back and a left-back to compete with Baines. The No9 position is obviously going to be a problem filling, especially in January. I hope that Walsh has done his homework and will unearth a gem. What we don't need is anymore No10's who Walsh or any one else at the club things can act as a No9.

Agree but if we don't have a permanent manager who's going to want to sign for us. Loans may be the only way aswell as protecting our budget for the summer and the new manager.

And yet constant rumours of Walsh and his team looking at even more midfielders. I suspect that the majority as usual is just lazy journalism/ fake News but as they say no smoke without fire.

Yes and Kieran Dowell is going to come back for next season and the way he is playing for Forest we will have to find a place in the squad for him. We need defensive recruits and a #9. Hopefully the midfielder reports are a long way off the mark.

I think the midfielder reports are for the u21s the lad was only 20.

Well Smit you presumably also know the plethora of midfielders we have in the Academy, under 21's and under 23's. As to defence those such as Garbutt still do not appear to get a look in.

Well you can never have too many midfielders BigDunc.
