    Looked at possible experienced left backs who might be available

    Declan John (Swansea). Moved there in the summer from Rangers. Welsh International. Was preferred to Morgan Fox and Rhoys Wiggins.

    Conor Townsend (West Brom). Vastly experienced. Only played four times since his moved from Scunthorpe. Has failed to dislodge Keiran Gibbs.

    Josh Tymon (Stoke). Not played as many games as the other two. Was at MKD on loan last season. England U20 International.

    All three of those would be good options!!

    Think Conor Townsend would be the best seeing he's got good knowledge of competing at the right end of this Division

    I'd rather get someone in midfield. Page will be back soon & before then we have Stephenson & Sarr as cover. What we are lacking is a creative midfielder (we have too plenty of defensive ones)

    And a decent striker to come off the bench.....Recco, Ajose & Weirdo aren't good enough.

    Page isnt due back till Feb, then it will take him a few weeks to be match fit so you are looking at March till he is properly match fit

    Sarr is a centre back covering at left back. Stephenson probably isn't ready to play regularly at left back.

    My money's on a left back being the first signing made in January.

    A left back is definitely coming in on loan.

    A lot depends on Ward, if we resign him or not. If we don’t, we will bring in another midfielder, probably of similar ilk. We were after Alan Judge and he hasn’t played much, but that may depend on if Brentford bring anyone in.

    As usual, it will be dependent on other teams doing business. But a left back will come in.

    It would be pretty disappointing if one wasn't lined up to come in during the first week of Jan. Bowyer has been talking about the need for an LB since Oct. They must know who they want by now. Page is quality but his injury proneness has been known for over a year now....so plenty of time to line up support.

    Any striker we sign will surely be on loan, but who is going to come to us...........to sit on our bench? Their parent club would probably want a guarantee that he'd start games.

    And in any case, RD isn't going to sanction a striker signing when we're paying god knows how much a week for Ajose and Igor.

    We'd need to offload Ajose first but absolutely should be looking to do that to in order to bring in a third forward who can get us promoted. If Taylor gets injured long term our season is over. We need to remember that Karlan has never done full L1 season.

    Hope cullen injury will not involve him in any deal. Its one of the risks tho of taking players on loan in august, when they impress then they can be sold in jan

    I would take Alan Judge over Ward any day. More creative, more clever.

    Fake news I expect.......bloke's obviously not aware that Cullen is currently injured or are Blackburn willing to take a crock in exchange ??

    Just trying to make the point that we are trying hard to get a left back in. I am aware of one LB very keen to come but I don't think Charlton are. Sounds like we have somebody else lined up.

    Played 90 plus games in two seasons at Bury in two seasons prior so that’s positive.

    Seems he struggled to make an impact in Holland until the most recent game where he got two assists. Looks like a very attack minded player.

    I think Leigh would be a decent signing, plenty of League one experience.

    That will only be the case if he is injury prone.

    Agree, RedHenry. Steve Gallen is the main man and he's doing the groundwork.
    I reckon he's got a very decent eye for a player.
