Hope you are correct re Uwe or Rosenior. Certainly either would give me more confidence going into Saturday. I get that we just don't want to bring in a body for the sake of it, but part of target identification must surely be an indication of whether you can afford fee and wages and if the...

Not sure how to feel about this window. On the one hand we have, as it stands, managed to keep hold of last years squad which is positive. But also we are possibly going to Newcastle playing Rohan Ince at centre half, an absolutely terrifying thought for me, so disappointed we haven't filled the...

Someone who could cover both LB and CD would be absolutely ideal. Glad to see BFG back playing but whilst we don't know how many practice games in training etc he has completed surely he wont be ready for 90 at Newcastle after this one game? Or with possibly bad news re Rosenior are we desperate?

Well we will know one way or another in the next 10 days. Personally I hope he stays and to a degree I can understand him missing Tuesdays game if he will be needed Saturday when I am expecting us to go with a three man midfield. But, like a lot of people on here, I feel he may well be off...

I guess he is looking at someone like Ridgewell who could cover both positions, that would deal with the issue we have number wise in both areas.

Assume Rosenior unfit and league debut for Hunt?

I take your point but for me in games like this we need as much experience as possible, so whilst we, probably, will have a debutant RB I don't think the next game is the time to gamble at LB as well.

Seriously. You are suggesting an untried kid at LB coupled probably, with Rosenior injured, an untried RB at our biggest away test. Not sure I agree there

Its not about conceding two today its about depth of squad over a long season. Last year we had 4 defenders out at the same time, Bong, Rosenior, Greer and Uwe. Take that forward to this season and we would be in trouble. We need depth in all areas if we want to go one better this year. It is a...

With you on that, my immediate thought when reading these quotes was that I may be disappointed with the hopes for CB and forward. Personally think both of these are critical if we want auto, we can now add midfielder to that if Stephens is also off. For those talking about not needing a...

Said this on another thread but am surprised people don't see the need for a 4th CB be that Duffy or someone else. At one point last season we had injuries to Uwe, greer, rosenior and bong. We had more experienced cover in Calderon and signed Ridgewell on loan, something we couldn't do this year...

I was another who when I first this rumour assumed that either AK or stephens would be off if it happened. However, with further thought I wonder if he will play in the Baldock roll and therefore could be our striker/number 10 signing, giving us more attacking intent but also allowing us when...

I am surprised that people think we don't need another proven CB. I accept that Goldson and Dunk are currently first choice but to expect both to remain fit and suspension free for the majority of the season is unlikely. Goldson is already injured with no clear indication of return and Dunk was...

I follow him on twitter also and you don't get the impression he is any way unhappy, but you don't know what is said behind closed doors.

Feeling strangely flat going into this season. Whether that is a hang over from last year and the fear we will never do so well again or the current lack of investment to the squad which is still a little short I don't know, but right now if you gave me 6th place I take it without question.

I would be able to accept, reluctantly, his departure to a current premiership club, although the damage to our prospects would be significant, but what message would it send to fans and players if he was sold to a direct rival. At that point you could understand Dunk, Stephens maybe pushing for...

I like the idea of a win win situation for us but for me AK is a long way ahead of Solly in terms of ability and what he gives to the team. He is the one player I believe we have who can win the game on his own with one moment of brilliance. Solly is not there yet and has got a few years of...

As tough a start as possible I think and the team a little light in key areas (probably). Hoping for draw but feel Derby may nick it 2 - 1

We are just going to have to agree to disagree. I know that you are very keen to knock back any implied complaint about the club but whenever Goldson got injured is again irrelevant since we went into the close season needing to replace Greer and would have had targets then. You don't have to...

Tend to agree here. The player who scored against Derby and Charlton was not the same player who came back after illness at Xmas. Something was wrong I believe, although I guess we wont know. The player from the early loan spell would enhance our forward line.
