I think we are missing some offensive creativity in the midfield at this point. Cullen, Field are more the tidy central midfield types. Williams and Aneke while having certain offensive attributes aren’t going to be opening up the defensive with their passing or scoring a number of goals from midfield. Maybe Gallagher can be that player but my fear is that we may have a fair amount of possession but not generate a lot of chances. I am not sure if such a player available but I would rather we use our last loan to take a chance on a young attacking midfielder even if that individual does not have much hype.( if they did have any hype they will have been loaned out by now).
Isn't that exactly what Aneke has been bought to do and did, albeit at a lower level, for MK Dons?
Correct and Williams is a CM not a CAM and he shone there against Villa.
I make it we have 22 and are good to go (if you count Aneke as a forward) unless a forward comes in then Morgan goes out on loan. No source just opinion, I’m fairly happy I must say.

disagree about the forward situation. I've scored more league goals than Leko, Bonne isn't ready and never played at league level, Aneke isn't really a forward so that leaves Lyle and who knows what is happening with him. Need two forwards in in my opinion.
Phillips Amos Solly Wiredu Lockyer Oshilaja Pearce Sarr Page Purrington Cullen Forster-Caskey Field Pratley Gallagher Lapslie Williams Morgan Taylor Aneke Leko Bonne
Morgan and Wiredu out on loan and a striker, Harriott and imo a right back is needed still
Understand what redhenry says about having 3 guys who can play there but if we get an injury to Pearce or Sarr and Solly can't play Saturday Tuesday Saturday then we're in trouble at the back

Who did you play for Large?
ok, amend that to 'I've scored as many league goals as Leko' and I wouldn't be lying.

Is Large, Peter Garland the combine harvester who used to plough through our midfield and made a great return in the back to the valley game ?
We all know that at 16:56 hours, Jim White is going to gleefully announce the departure of Lyle Taylor to the Japanese J1 league side, Kashima Antlers for 250,000 yen.
Not the sort of player Bowyer wants but he did very well after his abysmal time at The Valley. Think that might have been as much about us as him to be honest.
