At 6ft 5, I'm not sure how mobile Mings will be up the wing - which is a big part of playing that position now. Though I'd probably accept defensive stability there over the muck we've had to endure these past few years.

Hause is a big unit as well, so similar with him.

I can see us being much more dangerous at corners, in the opposition box, just for the sake of clarity!

New keeper                 - check

Left sided CB               - check (two of dems)

Dominant midfielder     - check

Now we just need a non Neil Taylor at LB and we'll be in good shape.

Add in the French full back and the fact that we're sending the kids on loan to get some game time in a competitive league. Dare I say it, but it looks like we actually have an actual strategy....

Smith has said he’s using him as centre back. Gives Chester some recovery time. Thought we were signing the french full back but loaning back

Good.  I'm pleased that they are getting proper game time in tough, rough and tumble leagues to prepare them.

As someone else mentioned earlier we are following a great strategy wether it’s to nip into playoffs or already prepare for next year in championship... signing decent quality youngsters in this window to replace those that prob won’t get contracts renewed or that have left already. Plus the better talented youngsters or U23 squad we already had going out on loan to get a few months big boy football in readiness for next year.
Purslow and Smith both did say they want to think more of a reserve team as opposed to U23’s
Well done all those working on this so far UTV

Mings at centre half with Elphick.  Chester to be given a rest.  Hause at left back?!

Agreed. It's about time we loaned out our better youngsters and got them some real playing hours. It'll be interesting to see how RHM, Doyle-Hayes, Bree and O'Hare do in particular.

RHM has had two good games for Cam U against Northampton and Exeter.  D-H will benefit from having a mate with him. They will cope with the football well.  The 100 miles of roadworks on the A14 and the M6 is a different matter.

well whatever happens tonight, its unlikely to be as disturbing as 10 years ago where Arsenio Halfhuid, Benjamin Siegrist and Emile Ivanhoe Heskey walked through the door. Now that was a transfer window..........

Apparently we have signed 3 Frederic Guilberts.
