Chris Powell sounds like a nice idea but whether it's a realistic one, well
All these names are well known players, whats wrong with paul mayo?
or even rahman coming back as cover?

I doubt we will sack McGhee as it would eat up the limited funds we have.
We have also been in far worse positions - let's see what happens after the Southampton game and where we are until then stay positive.

He's not even at West Ham for starters. He's played 13 games for Charlton this season.London Irish said:That's about the size of it.

Paul Mayo has been around the lower leagues for years I am not sure that he could make the jump rom Lincoln to Championship.
Scored a penalty against us when we lost to Lincoln a couple of years ago.
Rehman is in the first team squad at Fulham and plays occassionally. They allegedly refuse us Pearce so thay are unlikely to agree to a loan for Rehman now.
I think our best solution is an 'old timer' like Chris Powell for the remainedr of the season or a youngster from a top premisership to give him experience.
I would like Kelly of Tottenham who doesnt get much of a look in.

Mayo last played against Norwich and he had a mare. I would love to see the Prince return but reports from reserve games indicate he is not staking a claim, so McGhee will continue to play Reidy there.

Mayo was good at watford, and lets be honest he is better than having hart at right back

He went on a free, West Ham released him.
I'm sure MM was asking Premiership clubs if they had ANYONE they were willing to loan out. It's not as easy as it sounds.

People said exactly the same last season, especially during the six game losing streak.
I also think the fixture list hasn't helped where we have already played 7 out of the top ten teams away from home (and only lost one of them)
This gives a false picture of the league. On comparible fixtures we are only 1 point difference from last season.
Ok there isn't a 'Rotherham' languishing at the bottom but there are still enough clubs to make a fight of survival for us.

I don't.
If he can bring in someone who really is going to score 20 goals a year at this level, that's one thing, but how realistic is that? More likely, it'll be someone who represents a significant gamble. We have enough of them, especially when other areas of the team cry out for proper reinforcement.
As for Watto, what would have been wrong with a short-term deal? I certainly think Jones would have been better than Reid, who is a player I like a lot, but is simply gash at left-back.
We have got some hard games comeing up in january, southampton away will probabily be a draw as both teams seem to like doing that this season, then we have leeds and sheffield united. I know we won both the corresponding fixtures last season, but i can't see us getting many points out of them 3 matchs so i feel that we HAVE to get 6 points from the hull and millwall games. Not just to get points but will stop them from getting 3 points each, and can drag hull back in to the relegation fight. We went on a good run last season over the christmas so hopefully we can get as many points on the board as possible.

Hardly. We're where we deserve to be on our performances - for every Reading, Sheffield United and Leeds, we've failed to beat Crewe, Coventry, Derby at home.

And "not losing" has put us where we are now. Wins are becoming more and more urgent.

I do not believe that our need is for a striker any more than it is for every other club in the championship, possibly excluding Reading. We are all looking for a 20 goal a year man.
I believe that we URGENTLY need to find a left back and a replacement for Chippy from whatever means and at whatever cost.
The money to do this must be found by any means possible, either beg, borrow or a steal it.

Very true. Hopefully Chippy will be the replacement for Chippy, when he's back.

Unfortunately he may take about 6/7 games before he is back to his best by which time we could be so far adrift that we will be sunk.
I think we need an experienced midfielder on loan now for 1 or 2 months until he is back.
Harry Rednap may help us out as he is obviously going to bring in more players to try to stay in the Premiership and will then have some surplus.
