That’s a fair comment- I think we should look to loan/sell him, but think he will stay as a squad player anyway | |

Whoops, didn’t realise he’d been sold and loaned back. Edited accordingly. [Post edited 15 Apr 2021 16:06]

No point loaning him, we either keep him or sell him, I'm ambivalent on both. | |

Suggested squad/signings for the 2021/2022 season on 16:13 - Apr 15 with 1968 views | tractordownsouth | Curtis will get a Championship move if Portsmouth don't go up. I think we're quite likely to see Chey Dunkley here and I'd like Solomon-Otobor as well, although that will only happen if we get Richardson in from Wigan.

Suggested squad/signings for the 2021/2022 season on 16:17 - Apr 15 with 1943 views | chrismakin | I'm wandering if theres potential to be looking at championship players. We dont want to be offering 1 year deals out and end up in the contract situ again next summer. It's not easy to determine which league 1 players could cope with the championship if we did go up next season. So could our targets be well championship adjusted players. | |

Win, win innit. We get the money, get to play him and then someone else picks up the tab when he's injured. This could be a genius new model. | |

I think we will sign a few that right now people think are unrealistic. Phil mentioned earlier he thinks we will be recruiting as if we are a Championship side and we want players capable of stepping up. If we end up with Magennis or Madine leading the line next year I will be massively underwhelmed! [Post edited 15 Apr 2021 16:25]

Suggested squad/signings for the 2021/2022 season on 16:35 - Apr 15 with 1805 views | Westcountryblue | Not too sure on names, but i'd like us to scout and buy players that not only have the potential to contribute now in League One, but also have the scope to be developed as top end Championship players. I was very impressed with Guinness-Walker and Rudoni for AFC Wimbledon in our last fixture. | | | |

The problem will be attracting them. Unless we start throwing silly money around at wages, and that would be a bit of a worry. | |

Wage levels outside the Premium may well fall quite substantially as clubs come to terms with the impact of Covid. The US investment should also make us more competitive in the transfer market. | | | |

How long does Cook get? by Bluefish 14 Apr 2021 8:20I think I will be viewed as an early adopter to the uselessness of Lambert. I refused to buy in to the free hit nonsense for a club 5 points adrift in October, the warning signs were there very early for Lambert being a fraud. I did however question him and the adulation for him without calling for his head straightaway. The earliest that the calls to sack him were March time, that is 5 months on and even then it was more questions and acknowledging failure than demanding his sacking. During that spell he had a complete transfer window albeit the trickier January one but he was definitely financially backed.
What does any of this history mean? Cook has been a disaster so far, the inability to turn things round on the pitch and the struggle to either impose his own shape and strategy or find one that suits our current crop is very worrying. There are no excuses for how far away we are at the moment on the pitch, we have a squad plenty big enough to find a side that competes on the pitch, at the moment 0 shots on target is mot competing.
I think Cook was asked early on how long he needs and his response was 1 transfer window. It is bold but positive and with the start he has had that is definitely right. You need to earn credit as a manager and he has used his up with this start without earning any extra. The summer will be a fresh start but the backing he will get coupled with the better window means he needs to not carry over anything, we have to hit the ground running to build some credit and then it has to be maintained.
I'm not Cook Out but I'm also not giving free hits, the start is a blemish so the pressure should start On page 6. [Post edited 15 Apr 2021 17:14]

Yep, it was just a attempt on suggesting what the squad could look like and identifying areas we need to sign for, with the acceptance that not all suggested will be signed/be allowed to be signed | |
