Don't think MR Moore is going anywhere this season. So unless he's been brought in as a scapegoat or a yes man the board need to back him.
IMO we need a striker (not JR back) A new bought striker, not an old has been or a kid, someone proven, we have had a long time to source one, no excuses. We also have nothing at either side at full back, we need at least one or two additions, two Prem' loans or decent free agents. (surely we can afford the wages, relegation will cost more)!
We will probably rely on Rhodes and sell Rudoni! Jan is is an important reflection of Nagel's ambitions. Get this wrong and a lot of people will turn their backs on the club. Death by mediocrity .

Really difficult market which just highlights how idiotic it was to do nothing in the summer window and get rid of Warnock. Who's gonna sign permanently knowing there's a good chance we'll be relegated and the coach might be sacked at any point? Who's gonna lend us players for a relegation scrap?
Club has shot itself in the foot already. They don't know what they're doing. I don't expect much investment anyway based on what we've seen and heard so far.
It needs Rhodes back plus at least four quality additions plus a quality coach. I don't see that happening.

Apathy is at an all time high ! So the jan window is a massive window. I know more than my fair share who are now no longer attending after the continuation of non investment in the team, however I do question how the ownership can be so blind to this …. With football people in the roles Jesus wept.
The team needs a serious bit of vavavoom, not only to boost us up the table but also get the fans engaged again. difficult window to do it too so my expectations would be minimum. New ST - one who scores goals not Danny ward mk|| New CM - we have been piss poor here sine LOB left and wiles is gash. New RB- not fussed aslong as they keep Edwards out /ginger Cafu because that’s a sad state of affairs when turton is been touted as a champ full back.
The clubs conditioned the fans to accept mediocrity.

The problem is its going to be a hard sell getting any decent player to join us in Jan when they look at the table and have seen how we play. There will be plenty of competition for good players in Jan, as always,so can we attract and pay for the quality we need? Can we compete with other clubs in the Championship?

Back him! Our owner believes we can achieve promotion to the premier league with a sustainable budget & young players coming through the academy & yes we are going to stay there. La La land.

I’m surprised a Championship club hasn’t taken a punt on Colby Bishop (Portsmouth) or Dion Charles (Bolton) yet.
Both played together at Accrington and have proven themselves at bigger clubs in L1.
Could be good signings for Town, one or both of them.

Likewise Dion Charles, although if Bolton don't come up this time, he may move in the summer. But, I do agree that both would be excellent signings. We will probably go in and spend 1m on JCH and play him front alone, wondering why it doesn't work!!

Ideally I'd like
A quick, strong, left Centre back
A Right Back
2 X Midfielders. One who's a ball player and another whose and upgrade on Hogg
2 X Strikers.
I doubt that'll happen though.
So I'd be happy enough with
A quick, strong left footed Centre back -
Ball playing Midfielder
Striker
Leaving us with
GK - Nichols
RB - Turton LB - Yuta
CB - Helik CB - New Left footer
CDM - Hogg CM - New Ball playing Midfielder
LW / LM - Koroma CAM - Rudoni RW / RM - Sorba
CF - New Striker
Subs Maxwell Lees Pearson Headley Jackson/Ruffles Wiles Burgzorg Ward Kasumu
I'd like to see Diarra, Austerfield, Harratt and Hudlin go out on Loan to L1. As well as Ayina so long as he's fully recovered from Injury.

Why's that?
Did really well at Dundee in the SPL last season and there were a number of L1 clubs interested in taking him on Loan over the summer before his injury

Think it should be a realistic expectation to get the minimum first team players we desperately need!
x 1 Striker - decent, proven, double digit type x 1 more striker would be good as well, maybe a PL loan kid or up and coming from lower leagues x 1 controlling midfielder (Hoggy V2) permanent for the longer term x 1 attaching / orchestrating midfielder - think Eiting / Mooy
Would like something more maybe in defence as well but if I get the above I will be OK....!!!

I've learned that you should take your reasonable expectations, divide them by around 300 and you might get something close to what we will actually do

Carry on playing like we have been doing and the bigger issue is going to be not losing players rather than signing new ones. What Championship footballer is going to be enticed by playing in a flat back ten?

Let’s be 100% serious, Rhodes will be coming back essentially framed as a new signing, so there won’t be a new striker. That to me leaves a ball playing two centre mids, centre half, winger and a right back.

I’m Told we will be active in January.
Rhodes will Come Back.
Expect us to sign 2 a midfielder and a striker.
That will be it.
Jones out on loan somewhere, providing he can stay fit.

I wonder if Bradford would part with Jake Young - on loan at Swindon and banged in 12 goals in 16 matches. Played for Shelley Juniors before moving to Guiseley. One we missed initially.

Sorba going is a massive worry It is if he isn't replaced. It's going to take major surgery on the squad to get Town moving up the table.

Fucking hell do we never learn? We need Championship quality ready players, we've signed enough project players. I find it quite bizarre that Bradford would loan him to another club in the same division and that he can't get in the Bradford side but is playing regularly in a team higher up the table in the same league as them.
