Short term - back up to Davis

[Matt Collins]

I think we’ll find out soon enough. Not sure Davis can play three full games in a week.

Gabby is a way off. RHM has been injured for ages. Green still a little way off.

[johnny from donny]

Gone with McKirdy, further evidence of a path to the first team. Probably try to get someone like Crouch on loan in January (maybe offering him a one year deal if we get promoted)

[Tom_Mc9?]

I think he will play three full games this week.

What kind of injury has Gabby these days ?

[SoccerHQ]

Form he's in I'd push Adomah up there and see what he can do.

Ripped calf muscle. He should be back soon and can do the job especially the way we're playing as a team at the moment.

[PaulTheVillan]

I'd go with O'Hare or Grealish in behind. Adomah and Snodgrass get forward and narrow enough to give Davis enough support.

Kidknapp Christian Benteke

Rednapp?

Lazyitis. Symptoms are: can’t be arsed but I still I’ll have my full pay check’

well the reality is we need a long term back-up not short-term with Hogan not doing anything, and Mccormack exiled. 24m or so million spent there and you'd hope normally we could get 12m of that back to get someone in January. Trouble is Bruce basically publicly dumped McCormack in the papers which is never a good idea so he's basically worthless and Hogan....well.

In behind who?

[wittonwarrior]

Need to get a loanee in - in the January transfer box.  People who are bigging the likes of McKirdy up - sorry but he is nowhere near enough to what we immediately need.

Perhaps a go at getting Benteke in may not be unrealistic.  Football is a funny game.

I was torn between this and grealish false 9. I plumped for Jack but I am really intruiged to see how Albert would do centrally.

Think short-term option in January would be the better option and then reassess in the summer. That and some CB cover are perhaps all we need in the window (Hutton has proved he is an option to cover LB if required).
