I don't think they're wimps. I think Richards, Okore, Hutton as three from the "defence" as just poor players, whose desperate lack of quality is amplified by a severe confidence crisis.

Luton are utter shite, but they're on a bit of an upward curve, so they've got a bit of mental strength in the memory bank to fall back on.

Put it this way, if we go a goal down at Derby on the 20th, we'll have a much better chance of getting back into the game with players like Elphick, McCormack and genuine captains like them in the side, but an even better chance if the players can look back at six points from Rotherham and Huddersfield.

I think if we could move this long list of players on and get rid we would,
 but it's just impossible ,
 no one wants them they are all on to much money we would just have 6 or 7 Nzogbia's sitting around taking the money and tweeting their latest fashion purchases

there's no easy answer to this problem, just using the words 'purge' and 'clear out' means nothing unless Tony can back it up with millions of pounds to release the players and millions more to replace them all in the next 3 weeks

No chance

From Sky Sports Transfer Centre -
Aston Villa have made an approach for out-of-favour West Brom defender James Chester, according to the Express & Star.
Middlesbrough are also in the hunt for the 27-year-old Wales international after their move for Hull City defender Harry Maguire collapsed.

Chester, who cost Albion £8m last summer, is the Baggies’ most-expensive defender, but he has struggled to play in his preferred position under Tony Pulis.
Despite this, Pulis is not thought to be keen on selling the versatile player unless a replacement can be brought to The Hawthorns

If he has two legs then he is already better than Richards.

I dunno if needs that to be fair. I saw that Richard Whitehead at the Olympic Park a couple of weeks back and I think he'd be better than Richards.

If there was a day for the club to make a marquee signing please let it be today. James Chester doesn't really inspire me.

Clone him and play him in both positions at once.

I hope that on Saturday neither Richards or Hutton are our right back

Surely we must have an under 21 player who could play there?

i thought Lyden looked pretty good there against Cambridge. Certainly couldn't be any worse than the current applicants.

Easah Sulliman impressed me in preseason but I think he's gone out on loan.

I have a suspicion we'll have to wait until the final week of the window where loan options are more readily available before getting any more defenders in.
