I would imagine that all supporters have been concerned and a little worried at times.It’s got a bit hysterical at times but when the season finishes on 30th April and we don’t make our first proper signing until 10 days before the next season starts dont you think the ‘panic’ you allude to is warranted ? By definition, panic then results in pent up anger and concern. For every Barcelona you mention there’s an Ipswich Town, it hasn’t gone to plan and just because we’ve made our first signing now it shouldn’t paper over the fact that this window remains one that we have operated poorly in.
Yes it seems to be downAnyone else unable to get on OM ‘thisisunited’ this morning?
Yep, oxmail has been down for a while.Anyone else unable to get on OM ‘thisisunited’ this morning?

Now you get strict, after 569 pages of almost anything except transfer talkHas his own thread. Please use it.
Just need build round that partnership nowf*****g brilliant.
Moore/Findlay.
Not many centre backs partnerships of that quality in this league, if any.
See when good things happen, I am positive

Some of the comments and constant digs have , in my view been OTT and quite unpleasant at times.
It was always pretty likely that there would eventually be some quality signings. Findlay looks to be an excellent signing at this level and hopefully there will be 4 to 6 more coming in soon
KR was pitching McGuane as a DCM, so I’m not sure that we will sign another for that positionJust need build round that partnership now
New Goalkeeper coming is a big
Just need 2 decent Fullbacks to replace Long & Seddon if we want to improve
Then bring in an upgrade on Gorrin in DCM then that sorts out a lot of our problems in defence
Yep and I've not argued that it's gone well. So far we are way behind where ideally I'd like us to be.It’s got a bit hysterical at times but when the season finishes on 30th April and we don’t make our first proper signing until 10 days before the next season starts dont you think the ‘panic’ you allude to is warranted ?

Yes, because I did not fancy being the second King Canute.Now you get strict, after 569 pages of almost anything except transfer talk
I thought MM looked quality in that position last night. It was only a friendly though and with his quite laid back style I do wonder how he’d fair in the rough and tumble of league 1 game when he’s under more pressure. Very promising though!KR was pitching McGuane as a DCM, so I’m not sure that we will sign another for that position
From the rumours, sounds like a left back. Any chance we might get an upgrade at right back. Brown, Seddon and backup from Findlay is not too bad at left back. But Long and Forde is just not good enough.Possibly the full back we’re now in for.
Am I alone in thinking that Long is a quality right back and a very good defender?From the rumours, sounds like a left back. Any chance we might get an upgrade at right back. Brown, Seddon and backup from Findlay is not too bad at left back. But Long and Forde is just not good enough.
Knowing KR by now it’s set up to fail then:KR was pitching McGuane as a DCM, so I’m not sure that we will sign another for that position
He is when fully fit and on top form, but he just doesn’t seem to be able to stay fit nowadays does he? I think the option to play somebody ad good or possibly better is exactly what we need. Personally I’d like any new full back to have proper pace, our team is still very one paced I’d believe.Am I alone in thinking that Long is a quality right back and a very good defender?
I am very happy to have him in the side ( agree that we need a better left back option to Seddon)
