Do we all agree that just one more signing is needed before our squad is complete (centre mid) , imo i hope it is cos we need a close knit squad that can gel . |  | | |  |

In an ideal world a central midfielder who can potentially cover centre back in an emergency.
Unless Cook plans to replace Holy, which I doubt, I’d imagine that’s going to be it. | | | |

Definitely need a CM.
Not many will agree with this but one more CB? I know it's unlikely.
Who would be up for taking a fee for Woolf and replacing him with a really decent first choice defender to get us up? Just throwing it out there... |  |

To be honest I'm not fussed.
Happy to have El Miz, Nolan and Humphreys as back up.
Sounds like Burgess can play CDM too. |  |

Confident at least one and probably two CM incoming. |  |

We’ve got Nolan and El Miz who can cover at CM so il think we will see one new CM come in |  |

Yes, a CM is the only signing we need now. And it doesn't have to be an expensive one, just a backup for Evans and Harper in case of an injury and for cup games.
The lack of a number two and Donacien being given 44 makes me wonder if Cook was planning on replacing him with a new RB, but after some solid displays I think that is less likely now. The number two also could have been another CB (surprised it didn't go to Burgess) but I don't think we need another CB now. Edmundson and Burgess first choice with Woolfenden and Nsiala backup and Ndaba fifth choice is good enough. |  |
| They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all! | | Poll: | What hurt more? |

I’m sure it’s an unpopular opinion but I would take a fee for Woolfenden.
Downes and Dozzell will spend their careers at a much higher level than he will. We’ve taken fees for them and moved them on. I can see why Champ clubs wanted them.
For me, Woolf is a bang average League One defender and isn’t going to be anything more, one of our own or not. | | | |

It's an interesting point about Luke, he's clearly a talented player, but I do question his mentality and desire to push himself. He looks like someone who would be happy sitting here for the next ten years coasting along.
He said himself a year or so back that he needed a kick up the backside, yet he still has moments of lapses and unforced errors in his locker. And the problem has been that his mistakes have lead to us conceding.
If we were to cash in for a really decent first choice defender I wouldn't be to averse to that happening. |  |

We need a right back, full backs are going to be so important to how we play and KVY's start to the season is a bit of a concern. It is probably just a lack of match sharpness having missed a bit of pre-season but he won't play 46 league games and Donacien can not play as such an attacking full back. |  |

As a centre back he's of an age where the next two years will make him, the experience of reading the game and getting his positioning correct takes games. We don't need to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater - he'll come good. |  | | |

I get the feeling that should KVY suffer an injury, they seem quite content with Burns filling in. | |

I think the jury is out. In a way, he underwhelms me and seems to get a pass for being a youth graduate. In another way, he could be fantastic in a good team with a proper defensive organiser next to him.
Certainly not writing him off. | |

I'd like to see ANOTHER defender, want to see that strong this season with competition for places.
We have to get to the point where anything other than a clean sheet is failure for the defence. | |

I thought LW finished last season well (as did McGuiness) and he defended well yesterday making sure he won a lot in the air early on. The goals were crap but our biggest problem was organisational for both with KVY being caught upfield and a lack of midfield cover.
Yes, he started last season poorly and made an error last week but I think the collective opinion of Town fans has moved from over- to underrating him and I don't think it's anymore justified to blame him for everything at fault with the defence.
I would keep him, don't think he was good enough to actually command the sort of fee to make a sale worthwhile and he is still young for a central defender. All defenders make mistakes and they tend to look worse because they often lead to chances conceded. | |

In an ideal world it would be great to keep him, but he could really do with a De Vos, Mogga, McCauley alongside him, not some 19 yr old who is also learning his trade like McGuiness last season.
As you say, he just wouldn't warrant the fee the club would be happy with. | |

I do wonder whether he would be better as a defensive midfielder with his mentality and calmness on the ball , can see a few of youngsters going out on loan soon | | | |

We really need to see the 2 new CB's together before the window closes, just incase we do indeed need 1 more CB...
DCM needed, AM cover needed. |  |

Burns is more than a fill in. He has played there a lot for Fleetwood. If KVY doesn’t rediscover his form, I reckon he will turn to Burns | |

How about bringing in an experienced CH (Mowbray style) and sending LW on loan? I think there is a player there but he needs games week in week out. Just a thought.
If we bring anyone else in a CM has to be the one. Beyond that let them get on with it and see where we are at Christmas. That includes the full back position.
Injury has robbed KVY of a lot of what made him a prospect when he came here. He needs games, I think, to sharpen up and get in the rhythm of week in week out football and prove his fitness. I hope he can as the fit version gives us a lot at this level. |  | | |

A centre mid is absolutely vital, if anything were to happen to Evans we'd be in big trouble. |  |

For me it's another defender that's needed
Whilst we've signed two CB's and as stated Burgess can play the deep lying CM role on occasion I still think another defender is a must even if for cover (Plus we still haven't given anyone the number 2 shirt !! )
The defence and particularly Saturday's performance really bothers me |  |

Burns would be that backup given the attacking depth we have? |  |
