The Morris Men Cometh

We have hanky, but no panky

You hear the bells, you heed the warning
You know the morris men are coming
No rabbit's foot or four-leafed clover
Protects you from the rambling herbert
When you're straying from the city
An act of morris may be committed

How about getting back some of our players out on loan now for starters.....Steer, De Laet, Clark, Elphick, Green?

Send Moreira back

Loan - Heaton from Burnley
Loan - Targett from Southampton
Buy - McKenna - Aberdeen

Possibly Steer aside, I'm not sure many of the others will solve too many of the current problems will they?

We still have a lot of options at right-back, so bringing De Laet and Clark back won't help too much.  Elphick would probably be on the bench at the moment which I suppose would help somewhat and Green is still injured isn't he? 

If we can get the defence and keeper situation sorted in January then we should be in a much better place.

We would have to drop two loan players from the squad to accommodate two more. That's why Moreira isn't currently making the bench. And further confirmation that Bruce is a fucking idiot who obviously didn't bother checking the rules.

Bannan was always way to slow at everything when with us.  I've had enough of painfully slow build ups and zero tempo.

Priority must be a left back as we don't have one that isn't Neil Taylor, closely followed by a centre back, preferably two.   Not convinced by Nyland.  Supposed to be a fucking viking, plays like a morris dancer at times.  So a keeper as well.

Oscar Wilde said you should try everything in life once, except incest and Morris Dancing.

Mellberg the Cellist - is there nothing we could have done?

Clark has played on the left more than the right for the last couple of years.  De Laet would be a better option at right back than Hutton or Elmo because of the extra pace he'd give us.

I've not seen much of Clark to be honest Paul, but we need a naturally left footed left back if those in front of him are going to be right footed.  So many times it breaks down on that side because Adomah, Kodjia and Grealish can't produce any real quality with their left foot.

I rate De Laet as well, but it just hasn't happened for him with us.  I really want to see Bree given a run if games to see how he does.

Bruce didnt bring in Moreira or El Ghazi.

We don't know for sure.

Bruce seemed to think he had.

In El Ghazi's case he also seemed happy enough to have him.
