which probably means he thinks it’s a long lay off.
So, that means two CBs needed now. One probably on loan.
Frustrating for Town as the reason Gibson didn’t happen surely that we wanted a permanent deal and Everton wanted a loan. |  |

Reckon it was also a case of yesterday was his chance to claim a CB spot, and that’s now well and truely gone unfortunately
Donacian surprised me, slotted in there and played well |  |

Donacien is a perfectly adequate CB at League 1 level. He's arguably a better weapon than Toto given that he can play out to Harper and Evans, meaning they don't have to drop so deep to start attacks. |  | | |

Both first XI seemingly left the pitch in tears, for different reasons. Not the best start to the season.
I believe it was a case of Edmundson or Gibson and we went for a former. If the plan was to bring in Edmundson and Gibson and be supported by Nsiala and Woolfenden then I would have thought that Ashton and Cook had lost the plot. I'm sure the intention is to bring in one experienced centre back, with Burns dropping back to right back if need be and Donacien covering centre back. | |

JD was certainly never over weight, but thought he looked really trim yesterday too.
Would love to be made to eat my words about him | |

Phil seemed to think Gibson was a long way down the line. Edmundson can more out of the blue. [Post edited 8 Aug 2021 21:43]

I reckon Edmundson was another target on the same list as Gibson; we came to an agreement with Rangers pretty quickly when it was obvious Everton wouldn't sell. It's possible we were keeping both negotiations running side by side and then decided to shake on Edmundson and pull out of the Gibson negotiations. | |

I've always liked Donacien and feel hes a really solid defender at this level. I would like to see him more. |  |

Elkan Baggott.
Why not?
I know he is "only" 18, but this is the third division.
Burley, Butcher, Osman, Beattie, Mills, all made their debuts at similar ages and we never knew how good they were until they'd been given the chance. |  | | |

Gutted for Toto, but hope Donacien gets a look in. I don't recall him ever letting us down and being pretty impressed with him before he was banished. |  | | |

No good throwing a youngster in until we have a leader for him. See wolfenden for that reason. | |

Exactly; if we put Baggott in then the fanbase will slag him off soon enough. | |

I don’t think we’ll just be throwing the kids in anymore, except maybe in cup games we’ve no interest in. Cook and Ashton have said as much. Ashton was implicit in saying that the youth players will need to be better than the first team and that means development.
Baggott is likely to go out on loan. Probably to a L2 club | |

We have not seen much of Donacien at CB have we ? and i remember PL (sorry did not mean to swear) said he is a centre back . He can pick a pass better than Toto and to tell the true he did as well against big Cole Stockton ,who was on fire Saturday, as anyone did . So decent cover when needed maybe . |  | | |
