Do you think we will try and get a deal for Michael Jacobs over the line this time? (and 2 new strikers!)

I appreciate the sentiment but replacing a permanently injured Eppiah with a permanently injured Jacobs doesn’t make a great deal of sense.

I never understand this obsession with former players, because theres normally better and younger out there.

I concur surely a double bid for Bobby Barnes and Tony Adcock would be better..

You were much against resigning Bayo - which in hindsight was an error in judgement? Agree tho’ in signing Jacobs particularly if he is an Injury case!

An error in whose judgement? Not mine.

A lot will depend on if we keep Leonard and Bowie or if a division 1 club comes sniffing . Other than that i would say a left back addition is certain .

I would love a run up to the transfer window with a fully fit squad. Would be interesting to have a good few games in quick succession where Brady has the full squad for and at his disposal so we can really gauge where the gaps are, without the excuses of injuries and tiredness. I’m theory, with Eppiah fit, it may change the scope of our attacking issues (unlikely I know, and unlikely he will stay fit). Same for Magloire and our defensive options, as he’s covered relatively well at full back when needed. I know that realistically we’ve enough evidence that we have some injury prone players, and so we can’t afford not to bring in reinforcements. Sod’s Law says we focus on the gaps that the injuries have left, and they all come back fighting fit and we are overloaded in the wrong areas would be a nice problem to have, mind. But yes I think top priority is keeping the likes of Bowie and Leonard until the end of the season, and not having the issue we had last year of abruptly having Etete pulled out from under our feet and then having to scramble in January to fill a position we weren’t expecting to need to fill mid season.

… speaking of, I see that Etete isn’t getting much game time at Cardiff at the moment. Cheeky short term loan to the Cobblers to give him a taste of glory, and get him firing ready for a push for Cardiff’s starting 11 next season…?

Etete , Bowie or Leonard in your team ? I would go Etete because he was unplayable at our level but Bowie is more likely to score . Leonard is hard to fit into the team because Sowerby and McWilliams are so strong and Leonard isn’t a number 10 or wide player . He is probably our best technician though and wouldn’t want to lose him .

Yeah, it’d be a nice predicament to have. Maybe Etete to start, with Bowie off the bench for some pace when the opposition are tiring? Leonard possibly in a rotation as he does have an impact when he’s playing, but equally we struggle controlling the middle without both Sowerby and McWilliams on the pitch.

From my own point of view I think it is the last thing we really need. If we have a Steve Howard type we will revert to belting it long. I prefer the current system.

Bowie, then Leonard. I liked Etete whilst he was here. However, and it is a shame, I’m afraid he seems rather injury prone, which I think is the last thing we need. He has actually only scored three goals in the twelve months since he last played for us, which sort of backs up my point.

Notice Hoskins isn't in England squad. Unbelievable!
Would have had a hatful of goals by now too. You are a bit of a ‘Jonny come lately’ with your fulsome praise. What kept you?

Perhaps we need another goalkeeper because if Burge gets injured we will be in deep doodoo. We don't know what Maxted's problem is but he has been missing for several weeks, is he even training or completely absent?.

These days, its all about options off of the bench. Your 5 subs are equally as important as those who start the game...
With that in mind (again) and we all know that's what cost us getting 90 plus points last time round. Id argue that we need two more attacking options. On top of what we already have. So for me, my shopping list would still be the same as it was at the end of the last transfer window when the club did lose at last minute on a player or two, by all accounts.
Someone who can play across the front3, and someone who is more specialist as a number10 or in an advanced midfield position, would be my two priorities.
We just need a little bit more strength in depth...to sustain our progress and to keep things fresh.

I imagine we'll get a centre back, as we were after one even before Magloire being injured. Wouldnt be surprised at a left back coming in as he obviously has some concerns playing right footers out there, and obviously a striker with some physicality and height.

What always makes me smile is we wait expectantly for January 1st to arrive, only to sign someone last minute January 31st.

It's all about balance.
