1st choice LB, CM/CAM (ie can play both roles) and solid back up keeper and ST is the bare minimum we need. Elewere may/will make mistakes along the way, but think we should give him game time this season. If there is budget for a fourth or fifth signing, another CB and winger would be good, but looks like we are not stretching that far? Also seem to remember TS talking on 2 players for each position in the squad?
There is also the following to take into account:
22 Players
Clubs in League One shall be permitted to name up to a maximum 22 Players, of which a minimum of 8 must be a Home Grown Player. Under 21 players do not need to be named on the Squad List to be eligible to participate in a League Match.
Suspect the club are seeing it like this, homegrown not being an issue with the current squad make up:
Craig Mac + 1 Matthews + Gunter Innis + 1/Elewere (U21, so does not count in 22 even if he gets game time) Famewo + Pearce Purrington + 1 Dobson + Watson Clare + 1 (+JFC in c5 months) Morgan + Gilbey Kirk + Washington DJ + Blackett-Taylor Stockley + Davison Schwartz + 1
Counting JFC in the 22, that leaves 2 slots for players over 21, the rest probably loans under that age.
You don't need to name JFC as part of your squad as you can change it in January. Keepers don't count either.
I would say we still have 5 spaces.
If you don't name JFC and he's ready to start in December it'll be really poor.
Could we get lapslie back think he would walk in this team now.
He can’t get in Mansfield’s team
Why the lol? It’s true, he has started one game for Mansfield this season and has been on the bench every other game which suggests he isn’t interested.
I don’t get how a league 2 squad player like lapslie is all of a sudden good enough but when we sign a league 2 player, there is melt down on here?
Why do you question every lol you get? Someone might be laughing at the fact he can't get in the team, as opposed to laughing at you. Get a grip ffs

No chance of that happening is there, done his knee in April, second time he's suffered from it, he won't be running on it till November, full contact by late December at the earliest and full fitness by mid to late Jan, and that's with no setbacks on the way
I think the state of our plight can be summed up having to see if Ghandour qualifies as a 3rd intl and we aren't sure if our game will get called off.
Gunter must be something else when the Welsh team get together for him to keep getting picked. I would say he's been one of the worst signings I've seen for us given his career etc
Whilst I agree that Gunter’s performances have not been good for us, I do feel a bit sorry for him. He must be at least a reasonable player to have made that many appearances for Wales, but I don’t remember him having a run in our team in his actual position.
He is a RB who has seemed to play most of his games at CB and now LB because “he can do a job” there according to his managers

I don't think Gunter at right back has been that bad at all. He probably hasn't been as good as maybe we would have expected but neither him nor Matthews have been as good as Matthews was in the championship.
We have seen glimpses, he was instrumental in that crazy spell against AFC Wimbledon, but glimpses aren't enough especially when you are paying such good wages.
Does it? We lose this weekend, after the weekend off there could be daylight between us and the relegation safety zone, and we could be bottom. Now imagine how nervous they are heading into the next match at the valley the week after.

Oh no!!... Only another 41-games to go, might as well start booking trips to Sutton now

We’re already in the relegation zone with a poor squad and uncertainty before the window closes and a fan base already booing the team. What exactly is fuelling your sarcasm here?

Not really... I just dont shit myself looking at the League Table so early into the season
Same as I dont piss myself with excitment if we'd won four games either - I especially found your last remark funny as to think what I've said means we're suddenly "good" means you must struggle to read properly

Four games in with loses wouldn’t bother me if the team didn’t look completely and utterly void of any quality, but hey that’s where we are.

Means we're both genuinely laughing at each other's posts then
Maybe you BOTH need to chill a little? This is making me miss the argument thread, this would've been prime material.
As to the Dempsey rumour that is one I can see happening, they've quoted us a price, we've made a counter offer and now Gallen's got to do the haggling to get to a middle ground.

Gillingham are desperate for the cash and he won't go for anywhere near the 750k they wanted at the start of the window.
