Who is Dexter ?Bedsaddick said:
Watching Dexter at Cambridge yesterday I’d say he’s nowhere near good enough for The Championship.CAFCKentFan said:
Could it be that Jones wants to test Dexter out at RCB? As he knows the quality is there for RWB. Thoughts???fenaddick said:
The right sided trialist has been playing RCB rather than RWB but could probably cover there in a pinch. Think JRC is the RWB back up thoughHenry Irving said:
Seems Jones agrees with you as we had two trialists on Saturday, one a RWB and the other a LWB plus the Japanese player being linked.Exiled_Addick said:
To me, we still feel a bit light at wing backs on both sides. Small was both first choice on the right and backup on the left, plus our back up on the right (Watson) also left this summer.Richard J said:I would like us to sign Joe Bennett if it isn't too expensive. I was impressed with him yesterday and he certainly has the experience we need.
In squad terms a second LWB is a useful but not essential addition. He would be known to Nathan having played at Brighton , so I would hope he would be a good influence in the dressing room.
I definitely think he would improve the squad.
I’m confident Edwards is going to handle to step up but aside from him we have Apter who is very attacking and may not play wing back, Bell who was described by Jones himself as a left centre back, Ramsay who didn’t shine in that role last season in the way he did on the right of a back three, JRC who I’m pretty sure is going to be part of our first choice centre midfield, and then youngsters like Asimwe and Fullah who have bags of promise but probably aren’t quite ready yet. Unless I’m forgetting someone I think we could definitely do with at least another senior player who can play as a more conventional wing back with defensive responsibility. We have a few makeshift options but a lengthy injury to, say, Edwards could expose us a bit.

In the friendlies so far Bell has been my standout player his balls down the channels have been superb and he has looked very calm in defence. Watch him drop a ricket against Watford now lolShootersHillGuru said:I have a feeling that Jones will start with some loyalty with Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey, Edward’s, Coventry and Godden (if he’s available). By Christmas I think it’ll look quite different. Jones singled out Bell for special comment regarding his quality and how he knows what the system is. I think Bell will soon be a fixture.2 -
Lembikisa, Jamaican RWB on trial from Wolves, played RCB in the last couple of friendlies.golfaddick said:

The signing that’s seemingly going under the comments radar so far is Burke. What’s the lowdown on him at this point ?1

Won't take you long to find out that Dexter Limpbiscuit from Wolves,
was A Trialist A yesterday.
Young Jamaican international 29 caps, shares a bedroom with Karoy Anderson 😉0 -
We won't be seeing much of Berrykillerandflash said:It's a nice problem to have, as yes you want a strong bench, but I'm struggling to work out where Knibbs fits in. And where that leaves Carey if Knibbs is a number 10, never mind Berry.
We already have TC and Tanto as the wide left attacker, and have enough central strikers.0 -
Way too attacking. We will get turned over with a two man midfield.Covered_End_Lad said:I think we will start with three up top, oloafe and Kelman wide of Leaburn, with Edwards and Apter as wingbacks and Coventry with docherty/Rankin-Costello in CM. Looks pretty potent and plenty of options off the bench with Godden, TC and Carey.
Very excited to see how the team plays and gels.COYR0 - Sponsored links:

2 sitters and 5 defenders , with three hardworking forwards isn’t an overly attacking formation .Southbank said:

I think someone said on the match thread for the latest friendly that there is a rumour he's injured. Not sure if that's true but either way with his injury record he's probably the Chuks of defenders - very handy to have when he is actually fit but far too injury prone to make much of a plan for.ShootersHillGuru said:The signing that’s seemingly going under the comments radar so far is Burke.

We would need 2 wingbacks who can defend, as with Edwards and Small last season. We would also need a 10 behind the front two, not three up front. Apter would play the TC role as a winger/forward with one of Leaburn/Tanto/ Kelman up front.wmcf123 said:

I suspect there are questions marks over Leaburn given his injury record, hence what appears an overabundance of strikers (and Godden, for age reasons)0 -

Curbs and Day were quite bitter about their budget over the years.ForeverAddickted said:
Didn't Curbs see Murray after that window, and jokingly complain that he never got given those sort of funds?The Red Robin said:
I will never understand giving Dowie more money in one summer than Curbs had had combined pretty much.Bedsaddick said:
Jesus . Two of the worst players ever to put the shirt on . Dowie should have been locked up !Talal said:
Couple of legends at bargain prices what you talking aboutForeverAddickted said:
We had that window under Dowie where we spent a lot... On shitNabySarr said:Is this the most we’ve ever spent in a transfer window? Or do the PL days beat it
The logic at the time was that Curbs wanted to move on and Murray was worried that the upcoming season was a make or break one and that it was essential that we stay up to claim part of the huge increase in income due to the upcoming Sky deal.
Murray was right to be concerned, our gamble failed and we have been in free fall or the doldrums with shit/poor owners ever since. Just maybe we are on the up again? Fingers crossed.

I know we’ve flirted with it this pre-season but I can’t see us going 3-4-2-1. I think that will be an option that is used this season, but Plan A will still be 3-5-2, with Apter out on the right in the Small role2

If terms can’t be agreed we’d probably have to sweeten the deal wages wise. It happens but Ahadme has proved to be a very expensive mistake.Scoham said:
Sounds more promising than making enquiries - says a price has been agreed but personal terms a way off the moment.North Lower Neil said:Posting without wading through the Dowie stuff so may have been mentioned, but Bolton are being linked with 'making enquiries' about Ahadme:
