Clearing the decks. ...

Post by hallamblue » Thu Jan 15, 2015 4:20 pm

Sammon joins Rotherham
Wordsworth joins Crawley
Taylor contact reportedly "torn up" (source Stuart Watson EADT)


He then went on to speculate Powell, Williams to come in..

Thoughts people?


edit. Seems we are now also looking for a GK as Gerkin is injured. Not sure how or when this happened. Anyone else know?

Whatever happens it will be on the cheap. Don't expect any substantial money to be spent on reinforcements.

Now is certainly the time to roll the dice. We are paper thin, it's been said numerous times before and as expected the tired legs and injuries are creeping in.

Am I right in thinking most transfer windows pass us by with little happening? Or have I just made this up? Now, more than ever, I wish we hadn't wasted so much money during the Keane and Jewell terms. Make or break month for me.

Suspect this one will too. But i am expecting MM to dip into the loan signings. Problem is how many games will have gone by before we strengthen ?

I'm sure prior to the game someone on the TV mentioned he had strained something (calf?) In training.

Must admit was surprised he wasnt in goal that night. He seems to be picking up a lot of injuries in the pre match warm up. Whats that all about for a professional sportsman?
