Im saying there is only so much you can do in one transfer window. He has not yet been able to address the defence to any great degree.

SS has made more signings than i thought he would be able to do in a single window.

If he sees the defence as a big problem that's on him and his staff then. Only bringing in Taylor suggests either he's mainly happy with the defence or poor work from the recruitment team.

 problem is there all on contracts only santos and jones out of contract the rest apart from interest in forester no one wants .  He probably thought he could make do with Johnston , farino , toal in a 2 instead of a 3 but there looking a liability again this season the change of formation has not improved them

I could be significantly stronger if I wanted to lusty but if the cap fits and all that. We do though have some prime plums on here and the aptly named Muppet is as prime as any.

You seem rather aggressive today old sincey boy?

Not sure what I've said to warrant your keyboard warrior noncery but you crack on and I'll see you at the club shop.

I shall pin you down and beat you repeatedly round the face with my semi erect penis.

He tried that once with Diddles, but got absolutely pwned.

Omens...

Last time our summer signings included Dutch and Finnish representation was 94/5 and we got promoted that season. We had accumulated seven points from our first six games that year as well.

Another Evatt/Markham masterstroke.

I know we are a League 1 club and can't be signing perfect players all the time. But what made them think, oh a 26 year old with just 94 appearances, should be a solid signing there.

Wish we had Didsy coaching the wingers. Play them on their good foot side and get them hitting the byline getting crosses in. With Scumachers's coacning, they are on the wrong fott and come inside to a crowded penalty area. Unimpressed with the talent and coaching so far.

Need a Felipe Morais type too instead of hoarding a bunch who all want to cut in. One who will buy a yard & whip that ball into the danger area. Simple but highly effective wing play & some variety

Indeed.

He really could, and would, have asked his team to find him the necessary replacements if required.

That's also after having a couple leave.

Disappointed for Tutu. I think he's looked a decent player for us. Bit inconsistent, but aren't they all at this level? Some real moments of quality and great driving with the ball. 

I'm not necessarily sure we'll miss him dearly or anything, but he is a good option

Christy signed........right back or cover

Agree with playing them on there right side or at least mix it up mid game by swapping them over .
But coaching don’t think there is a lot Lee could teach them he was just raw pace and the two best crosses came in the same game most ended up over hit that’s why he ended up in division 3

Need a replacement for him then. Assume it’s this new fella. 
 

has the lad that has left Stockport rocked up anywhere yet 

[mattbwfc19]

Wanderers have further strengthened their squad with experienced defender Cyrus Christie becoming the Whites’ second and final signing of transfer deadline day.

[bwfc4ife]

Can't believe we didn't get a proper striker in.

Disappointed with that tbh

6ft 2", think Cogley will be cover. 33  years old a the end of the month though, probably good experience for the defence, capped 30 times for Ireland, so a decent pedigree.

I'm going to assume this is to wind people up, we've signed 3 and play with one currently.

Ticks a lot of the boxes as you point out. Experience has to be the main one, but just in terms of stature - Christie, Toal, Forino, Taylor is a pretty big back line!

There’s definitely a theme of JDC being targeted with long balls, so this should provide an alternative.

Sounds like he might take a couple of weeks to get up to speed seeing as he’s been without a club, but happy enough with the signing on the face of it.
