We need players... to leave.
Scannell (for decent money to fund transfers Butts might have done.), Vaughan, hammill ideally a couple of defenders as well..
We need players to stay
Butts and wells.
We need to get in replacements/new additions.
RB/RWB CB and 1 or 2 strikers... Ive left the midfield as we have dempsey and huws who may go well.

No, we need a f*cking striker who can position themselves and put the ball in the net. Would have won comfortably today, and every game this season if so.

Not having wells is garbage. He's the only player in the team today that you actually hope will score. He's too much pressure on him to score every goal. If it's not him then Butts has to.
The starting 11 today scored a total of 27 goals in the league last season for their respective clubs!! Nahki scored 11 of them.

A new striker is needed asap, and we need a right back quick sticks too.
Wells is being asked to do other stuff aside from score goals. He needs service, thats why we need to play 4-4-2, with wingers and playing off Miller.

we cant afford to lose players like scannell and butterfield, not this late in the transfer window, we may have been able to work it earlier. people can point out stats ect on scannells games, but he is still someone that the other team worry about and we need more players like that, more players that make other managers think 'oh they have player x, we will have to counter that' at the minute we dont and as such have to play games in fear before the first minute because we are more worried about what the opposing teams can do to us rather than what we can do to them.

Lolley scored goals in pre-season... Could try playing him for 30 minutes each week.

Vaughan looks to have something lined up so I reckon we could see a couple of strikers coming in before the window closes, hopefully atleased one will have some championship know how & give us the boost Holt did when he came in this time last season, but score more goals in the long run.

Our transfer policy has been poor this summer. We've failed to strengthen central defence and right back. We have limited finances but we've spent half million or more on two players seemingly not ready for first team football. We're getting rid of our best striker because the owner publicly stated that he wouldn't be getting a new contract, instead of privately saying to him that he needs to show that he deserves a new contract, and now with 3 days to go to the closure of the window, we are short of three good players (2 defenders & a striker), and we may still lose our best midfielder.

Jobs on its arse. If ever a club looks like relegation certainties is us at this point in time...... like I said, MASSIVE 3 DAYS.

Do you think Vaughan want told this LAST season? He couldn't stay fit, time to move on.

Do you think Vaughan want told this LAST season? He couldn't stay fit, time to move on. He played more games than Hogg last season. Even if he was told, there's ways and means of getting the best out of players but publicly announcing at the start of a new season that a player won't get a new contract isn't one of them.

I always thought we needed a centre-back, however Hudson is playing better than I expected and the unknown Cranie is proving a hit, Lynch and Wallace also two good Players in that position, Lynch brilliant on his day
Yesterday makes me think we need to look at perhaps right back and a lack of goals is a worry but is that due to lack of real chances or the Strikers not scoring the chances?.
I can't make my mind up!.

I'm very impressed with Murphy and we need to start blooding Allinson

I can't make my mind up!. I think it's definitely a need for better strikers. They just don't seem to get into good positions or anticipate good balls into the box. There were several occasions where we got forward and wells and Miller weren't even in the box or where only one of them was surrounded by 3 or 4 QPR players so nothing to aim a cross to. Very little movement too. No idea what's going on there. When chances did fall their way wells and Miller they either put in tame efforts or fluffed the chance to shoot completely through bad technique. It just wasn't good enough.

Thomo, you are bang on re occasions where there quite literally wasn't a blue and white shirt in the box and we were in good attacking positions. I noticed this a few times. Why was Miller so wide on occasions?, need his frame making a nuisance of itself in the 6 yard box!.

Him and wells are having to fashion and finish chances because our central midfield cant or wont support them. Not once did we see a driving run from any of them which freed up space out wide or centrally to create something. It was the equivalent at times of one up rugby league - give it scanz and watch whilst he runs on his own at em!

Why was Miller so wide on occasions?, need his frame making a nuisance of itself in the 6 yard box!. It's easy to blame the strikers, but there are no goals in the rest of the team. We seem to have recruited a squad forgetting that we need to score goals. At the moment nahki or butterfield need to score if town are going to score. 27 goals scored by the whole of the team put out in the league last season!!! Nahki and butterfield scored 17 of those. It's not enough. Powell needs to look at the wider game. We don't have a goal threat. Tough because he obviously wants to keep things tight. But whitehead, hogg, scannell and Miller is 4 out of the 6 players you need some goals from that couldnt hit a barn door from a yard. If we are going to win games. 3 out of those 4 cannot play. I'll let one be a defensive midfielder. We also don't score enough from corners. Lynch got 3 last season. Hudson 1 or 0. Can't Remeber. But they need to contribute more or find a CB that can score from corners.

The 3 players we could get good money for are scannell, Butts and wells. Of the 3. Scannell and his goals and assists.....would be the easiest to replace. If that money was used to strengthen all the areas mentioned. Then hell yes id sell him.

Bearing in mind that Scannall has already this season, laid a handful of chances on a plate for people, who have failed to covert them, I disagree. How many goals/assists has butterfield got this season? Stats don't tell the full story.

You could look at it that way... or you could look at his stats over the last 3 years and see that year on year,he doesn't score enough goals or make enough assists. Putting a decent ball in doesn't make an assist. Putting a ball in that can be converted is more important and his goals record for his talent is abysmal.
Sell Butts and you sell 1/4 of the goals that team yesterday score in a season.

Our distribution from the back was far better when he came on.

No, we need a f*cking striker who can position themselves and put the ball in the net. Would have won comfortably today, and every game this season if so. How would we have won comfortably? As well as we played in some respects we hardly created any chances! You can criticise Miller and Wells for aspects of their performances yesterday, but neither had any really good chances. Perhaps with better quality in the final third both may have created better chances for themselves, but their team mates were hardly creating much for them. Any striker would struggle to score the way we are playing at the moment. Look at Austin for QPR - the game passed him by due to lack of service.

Off the top of my head, Scannell made a great run into the box and squared it across the 6 yarder, open goal. Where was wells? Running like a headless chicken straight over to Scannell instead of positioning himself for the cross. We made plenty of chances, played the better football, just need a geezer to put it in the net.
