dave the gaffer said:without wishing to be castigated, I am also concerned that we have a defence with Tank ( 34 ish) Dodds( 35 ish) Ashby( 35ish) Mayo (late 40's)
Replacing Virgo (20ish) and Hammond ( 20 ish)
Pavilionaire said:Unfortunately, the only backs they will be seeing is the back of opposition forwards as they race through on goal...

Thats what happens when you try and sign players far to late in the season.Its our own fault as per usualSneaky George said:Bang on. This has to be Butter's idea and it's not a good one. We can't, simply can't sign Ashby. We'd have the slowest central defensive partneship in the entire league let alone the Championship. As I said in an earlier post, I don't know why we're even bothering with him. Shows how desperate we are.
We get 1.5 million for virgo and hardings money holds us up,what a complete pile of crapy2dave said:MM has said all along the Harding tribunal has delayed his efforts to bring new players in. We got confirmation yesterday and he wants to add faces over the next month. We won't have them all before Derby. Now he knows what money is available we could be looking at contracted players and not freebies who need to prove themselves on trial. The Tribunal timing has really hampered our efforts to bring players but not taking the 250k Leeds offered has been proved a good decision.
Pavilionaire said:You've got to get the right blend of players. I'm happy with Dodd and Butters but if you throw in Ashby and Mayo then even the staunchest Albion fan would have to say pace is an issue...
In the next 7 days i hope,we look a shambles in places yet just a week to go grrrrr.Just hope these friendlies are nothingdwayne said:pace is not so much an issue in a 5 man defence, but you are right and I'm sure Mcghee will rectify soon enough.

Beeercan said:Dammmit we need cullip, anyone got any money we could pay his wages
Sneaky George said:Given that Butters played with Ashby for a long time at Gillingham and that we're "desperate" to get another Centre back in, you don't have to be a genius to work out that Butters has obviously had a word with McGhee about this player.
