Tewksbury

It's not so much this season, it's next season when the top teams are hoovering up all the decent loans on this type of deal. The problem is, there will only be 5-6 teams capable of making it as there has to be a decent chance of promotion before they sign.

I'm not a big fan of this Sunderland "loan to buy on promotion" jobby. This will concentrate the better loans on the top few clubs and widen the gap between parachute teams and others in the Championship if it becomes widespread. If they get him that's 33m of players on the never never already this window.

Whilst simultaneously calling for unity and no drama.

He's old, has no sell on value and we've already got Bannan.

There's this on X, could be a deal to be had.

Watching the FA Cup has got me thinking about this window and the rest of this season. The biggest difference in the higher division teams and the lower division teams is how sharp they are in the boxes, something that we as a team struggle with. That being said, a promotion push involving another 3 loans this season is a bit of a folly, when, come next season, we're still in this league, with a handful of players with games under their belts going into next. There ate also a number of our players who just aren'tgoing to make that step up to the next level. They'regreat given time and space, but don't have that extra spark that the better teams have. I also don't see us beating any of the top teams over 2 legs. So, is backing Danny with 3 good loans really in our best interest, with the potential of doing a Hull and piling in next season as all our good players go back to their own clubs? Or getting a couple of solid young permanent players, trying to develop a couple for sale and get some transfer cash in for a push next season? I can just see everyone getting a bit lairy and fucking iitup by shooting our shot too early.

Don't need to, any bad points will be plastered all over OT and X. If you don't see anything, we're in a decent spot.

Course it is. That's for the fans, the players have already had the real one

Thought he just converted all the debt into shares?

When has a player ever come into our side either at the start or after a layoff all guns blazing? Our team didn't look bad, they just looked like they hadn't played together much, so while it was OK in the middle, the final balls/decisions weren't too hot as they don't have the understanding of each other and each other's movement. And we played 4 at the back, which we've not really done with that back 4 and generally been terrible with. Wasn't a bad run out considering. If those players/formation had another couple of games together under their belts, they'd have won that easily.

It'll be even funnier if Liverpool fall off and Forest win it.

You can play them together, but them, Bannan and Windass is too much.

They have a midfield behind them this time though.

If Beadle or Hamer plays, I'd expect Charles to be out on loan and Beadle confirmed for the season.

I love the cup games when we give the "proper footballers" a rest, put the second string grafters out and smash teams on workrate.
