Think he would be far better in a back 3 or a back line that isn’t suicidally high. See a world where the new owners sack Martin and he becomes one of our better performers edit- if Martin is staying he has to consider dropping him if he can’t keep up with the line etc

New owners by the end of September and they’ll either keep Martin for momentum (feels unlikely) or they’ll bring their own manager in. Red Bull Leicester don’t lose 4-0 at home to Oxford edit: I know people won’t like the red bull comment, more exaggerative because of how much we need the change

We just don’t seem to have a plan on the ball. Enzo got stick for his possession football but it always felt almost NFL with how we had our attacking movements and passing set, always felt like their was a purpose. Right now it feels as though their entire purpose is to get the ball to Alves/Howell and hope they produce something. I have been as pro Martin as they go (semi-hoping we aren’t dog) but he has to add kinks to his plan and at the very least make it tough to plan against. 2/3 home games where we can’t get out of the defensive third comfortably is mid table at best

Challinor or some nasty German takeover and they hire some random bloke from Germany/Austria for some heavy metal football. If we are going to be crap make it fun. The only hope is the takeover and the new owners wanting a fresh start which only happens if we aren’t great

14th September, just pray for a bid

Falls into a weak link I guess so saying it here, interesting that we loaned Skipp to Charlton who have just as a result released Docherty who we were linked with during the window. Wonder if we sign him and use Doyle further forward

Wouldn’t be shocked if we tried for Adam Webster on a free if Okoli and Faes move in the next few days

Feels like someone at the club has realised you can use these transfer gossip journos as good PR if you give them a little information

For me I’m not sure I’d want to change the dynamic of Page and Braybrooke by moving them forward and using Lundstram, think we are better off with one of the naff lot in the 10 and Lundstram off the bench along with Doyle for those two

Want- McCarthy Joseph Souttar O’Hora/Kangas if he is ready McFarlane Page Braybrooke Howell Reid Alves Riis think it’ll be- McCarthy Joseph Souttar Thomas McFarlane Page Braybrooke Howell Cullen Alves Reid

Even if a chunk of the signings are crap he’s done better than Rudkin just by being proactive. Without jumping the gun I’m already pretty sold on McFarlane and Howell, and quite like Burns/Watson/Bristric as squad options, think we are going to like the three deadline day signings too

Evans either ends up on loan in L1 in Jan or with us depending on how our lot work out and injuries. Think he is a year or two(depending on promotion) from breaking the first team fully

Hoping Thomas’ role becomes 4th choice CB/2nd choice LB, no chance McFarlane should be dropped

Last year of his Brighton contract too, if he hasn’t signed an extension we could just take him on a free next summer if he’s decent, and even if he extends would imagine we would be first in line, feels an extremely good deal

Think every chance it ends up a permanent deal come the end of the season

Need another midfield body so would make sense

Tweets now saying he isn’t in the squad- who else is going to play in midfield 😂 Bobby Reid back in the middle

Think it still happens, Faes will be gone, not a hope he is staying where he is hated to play in League one

Just survive today and convincing is less of a job- if we do as we are meant to and go up I am sure he will see the value in starting a championship season for a side with some momentum. If we stay down he’ll just go for the same amount next summer

We will have Souttar, Kangas and hopefully Nelson for that, he just needs to not be dire for a year

4 years isn’t ideal but isn’t that bad, and it is nice to have two 6ft strikers who can actually run

Do wonder if we straight up release him if we don’t get anything today

We will need 4 players for those 2 positions and all 4 will play a lot you’d imagine. Good incentive for a performance tonight for a lot of players, perform or get dropped for one of the newbies

Reads to me like unless we get a massive offer he won’t go, his emergence last couple of games as the should be starting CM probably hasn’t helped any chance of a move either considering our lack of depth

They’re going to bid for about 5 cbs and if non go through will be back in for Faes later- seen they are in for Cabango at Swansea now too
