This forum really does have a habit of creating self fulfilling prophecies. First we put so many pictures of Appleton’s ugly mug on here it drew him to us and now finally all the incessant cheese puns have finally brought a signing

Surprised it's a loan but fine with it given he's out of contract in the summer
Might also be easier to agree a loan move today of all days, rather than haggle over fees
Think we have probably been after him for a while, Southampton have tried to sell but have had no luck so we can get a loan done. Concerning that if he performs we could lose him in January but that's the risk you take with loans
I guess the flipside is if he's that good and we want him enough we could still buy him in January. Plus Saints don't want him and he's out of contract at the end of the season so I doubt they're putting any pressure on about game time
Curds told NJ he'd be a bigod signing, someone in the right vein who plays hard, is krafty and spreads the play well.... think NJ said he'd feta go get him then..... before this joke gets milked any more.....
As others have said I can't imagine a player like Bree in his mid-20's who started that many premier league games last season coming in as RWB cover for Charlton. He will expect to start and begs the question where does Apter move to? We cannot drop Apter, has been far and away the best of the new recruits so far, perhaps he moves into the TC role?
I think TC will be dropped for next few games. These players have to earn the right to be play every game.
Possibly a trifle unfair on TC, but Apter and Bree starting, with Tupac coming off the bench for twenty minutes to run at tiring defences, might work. We do need to try different alternatives, as we’re becoming too predictable, which is dangerous at this level.
I don’t think Bree has featured for Southampton at all this season. He wasn't named on the bench for the League Cup games either by the looks of it.
He picked up an injury in pre-season, should be back fit this month
Which is why I'd prefer Ward who, according to reports, has played 3 league games this season.
Havent we learnt from the past. This season it's been Knibbs, Kelman & Burke who haven't been match fit. Last season Godden didn't start the season as he wasnt fit. And we can go back to Ben Reeves too.

We don’t desperately need this signing to go straight into the team, so I’d rather the better player than the player that’s fit.
Bree is miles better than Ward, I’d much rather have 7 months of Bree this season, than 8 months of Ward
Feels a little weird not being so short that we have to bring 5 panic loans in on deadline day.
Watson, Watson, Abwankwah and Tedic. McGeady, Davis, Andre Green
We should feel grateful.
It's also nice going into the final day having all our loan spaces free, so we're not in the situation of having 6 loans, and needing to leave 1 out every game.

Bree isn’t fit so there won’t be any change in the short term.
I think it’s great that we have so many options, could easily move to something like this:
Kaminski Ramsay Jones Bell
Bree Docherty Coventry. Edwards
Apter Carey Leaburn
Quite defensive but good to have that option, with the usual Apter wing back for the games we want to attack more

No rumours yet of any loans out. Would like to see Rylah or Enslin go on loan and get regular senior football.

How did I know it was a cheese factory?
De Bree was everywhere
It's what we are good at.
