He wasn’t much good today V Brentford. I sometimes like him and other times think he wont improve us to any great extent. Another one who I think we should swerve is Harry Wilson. Again, sometimes very good, other times you’re not sure if he’s playing, like today for instance.

Goncalo Ramos, 24, wants to start more matches and could leave Paris St-Germain at the end of the season, with several clubs keen on signing the Portugal striker.

I think we were rumoured for a loan deal in the Summer weren't we?

Someone with a bit of pace please

Even a 66 year old Linford Christie would speed us up

Think Rudy has been trying to sell him to us for years, dunno if he's moonlighting as a Mendes.

I want to sign him, bit mostly as he looks like McGinn. Can take penalties too.

I think Wilson could be this years Solanke, a one season wonder.

He looks as flakey as the rest of our inconsistent wingers.

Wilson is a lazy signing.

Wilson is only an option because he is a free agent. If there was any fee to pay he wouldn't even be considered. Obviously he is not going to move us to the next level.

He'd be better than Bailey.

I don’t know, I’m sure after four or five anonymous appearances he’d be in the same Guessand and Bailey category and everyone will on his back. The position we’re in and the direction we’re going we should be aiming higher. However finances don’t allow it and we end up not improving the situation.

That's very unfair. What have lolly pop ladies ever done to offend you?

Article in the Irish Times on Owen Elding who joined Hibs from Sligo Rovers at the last window. Anyone seen him play?

AWB is defensively solid, but really poor going forward. That really doesn’t work for our style.
True, we've got enough of those 😂😂
