What kind of striker is O'Hare from U23 ? Could he be Davis's backup

An attacking midfielder and certainly not a target man to hold the ball up. Hoping he played as he was excellent against Colchester.

Re Carl Jenkinson. I saw him have possibly the best game of football I've ever seen a footballer have. The caveat being that it was against San Marino u-21s. Still, better than Raheem Sterling did.

The Kodjia story is very worrying. Bruce said at the weekend that Tony is desperate to spend money but the clubs hands are tied with FFP. Having seen the players go that have now, surely we can spend a few million on a big, quick forward from somewhere. This is where the scouts we pay should be earning their money and finding us a couple of players that can come in and make a difference.

Given that it's up to the Football League what punishment they dish out, and we're using youth players as first-teamers, how harsh could they be if we went over the limit by a few million?

They would give give us "the full Durham". Relegated and 15 point deduction. Minus 2 goal start in Cup games. Forced to play Paul Collingwood as a striker.

The fix is in.

Kodjia's return has now been delayed again


Imperative we get in a striker on loan who can lead the line. Saturday showed what difference that can make

No idea who though

The concern at this late stage is that we were focussing on Gallagher and haven't looked at any other options.  Surprised he has gone there, maybe not instead of us because as others have said he might not have played regularly, but over Wolves as he would have played there.

Am I the only one who thinks the bad news about Kodjias injury is timed to dissuade any bids for him before the window slams shut ?

[ozzjim]

Could easily be. Talking openly about pins in his ankles etc would just about kill off any interest say an Everton may have of nicking him for 20 million at the end of the window.

On the other hand if it is true then it just increases the need for us to sort out another forward option.

We haven't looked at any other options? The club wouldn't have just one option.

As I said, just a concern that may be the case.  I would guess and expect that there were alternative options being considered.  I see Brighton have signed a couple of strikers, so I wonder if Murray is available.,  A more experienced striker to rotate with Davis might be a good option.

Isn't that specifically within Round's remit, to help identify options for the manager to consider?

Yeah I'd imagine so.  It's a ridiculous theory.

I saw a post on Facebook where a father had taken his kids to BMH. They had photos with a load of players, one being Kodija, who apparently said he was two weeks away. this was yesterday

[Nelson Lodge]

So a loan replacement for Kodjia, plus cover at left back needed urgently.

Has it been definitely confirmed that Gallagher signed for the rags?

It seems to have gone quiet in the departure lounge. The hinges of the exit door will be in need of some WD40 at this rate.
