Taxi for Cox?
Bollocks to full backs and forwards, let’s flood the midfield!
Works for Man City I guess.

Millen is near enough fit now I think, not far off. Rowe put in that display last match and Pugh can do a job there, albeit a bit dodgy there but can hold his own at times.
Thompson and O’malley for the LB slot isn’t too shabby. Scrimshaw, Loft “when he’s back” as the main two upfront with O’neil and Jarvis as back ups is a bit questionable but I imagine Scrimshaw and Loft will cause teams a lot of problems at this level.
This Hackney from what I’ve read is supposed to be a right player. I’ve read what the Boro fans said about him, by all accounts league one clubs were after him but we’ve somehow managed to get it done.
I can’t recall ever reading so many positive comments on a player before. Hull lad is supposed to be a bit of a player as well.
Perry, Hackney, Beestin, Wood and Pugh as the options now. Hallam will probably never be fit and Kenyon despite being injured looked like he was shuffling around in lead boots, never seen anybody as immobile as him before.
I would have liked a striker in but considering we had very little CM options, these two will do nicely. There’s no way we could have kept relying on Hippolyte and whoever else filling in there for much longer.
All in all I’m personally pretty pleased. Get Millen and Bunn back fit to add to the options and we may be ok. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d keep Watson in goal now, Bilson will have to wait.
I’m thinking Kenyon Hallam crocked and these are the replacements.
On paper look good signings but goals wins games and we are relying on Loft and Scrimshaw for the whole season. Jarvis isn’t a goalscorer and ONeil looks way off it at the minute.
Next 4/5 games will be interesting to see where this squad is at.

I was talking to Kenyon at the Man City game and he said his was only a minor injury and would be fit in 2 weeks, regarding Hallam no idea, I hope we have signed 2 Ryan Yates, or I wouldn’t complain if they are 2 Alfie Beestins.

Think it was Ben Liddle the season before last. Made a couple of appearances but didn’t look very good. Now on loan at Queen of the South from Bristol Rovers.

What about the impact on players like Dan Gallimore, who was so impressive on his debut at the weekend? Why are we training up other clubs’ players for them rather than our own?

We are saving Hallam for next season and giving him this season to get fit

I can understand signing an extra player to fill out the squad and to provide more competition for places but we now have Kenyon, Pugh, Hallam, Wood, Hippolyte, Pugh, Perry, Hackney and Gallimore competing for two or three midfield spots. That’s 9 players! Granted, Pugh might spend more time at right-back and Hallam has fitness issues but, realistically, how often are we likely to see someone like Gallimore on the pitch in the coming months?
I wouldn’t mind if he’d been nowhere near up to standard the other day but actually he was quite impressive, so let’s see more of him!

Several recent loanees have been bench warmers but that was because they weren’t good enough. I’ve said before that IMO loanees should be nailed on to start (Yates, Toney, Gabriel, Lansbury, Cork) otherwise the loan would seem pointless (Thomas, Miller, Liddle, Ugbo et al).
