Fair enough, but THB was one of the best CBs in the championship at just 20 so the age is irrelevant here. Mid table in the Prem. We're in the championship. Remember how Hooiveld was absolutely quality for us in the Championship and then useless even fighting relegation in the league above? JWP is a fine replacement for Charles. There's a bit of misremembering going on - Charles was in and out of the team last season, he wasn't a nailed on starter. He also only scored 4 goals and got 2 assists - I'd be happy to predict now that JWP will get at least double both of those figures. Edozie is second choice on the left wing at the moment, he has regularly come on and looked a threat at this level (and for what it's worth, has more championship goals and assists than Charles in far less appearances). If we were to let him go for four million we'd need to find someone for the same money or less who is just as good and is willing to be back up.

Stephens has already been dropped for Wood, not sure why you think he'll get back in while Wood is performing well.

I mean we could say "you left it too late, come back in January".

Well, fuck. I still don't see us signing anyone else and if we do it'll be a really disappointing level of quality imo.

Archer hasn't gone yet, but I think they'd use Oyekunle as third choice. Anyone we get in at this point would be a waste of money. No-one good enough to make a difference will come to be rotated as second/third choice.

I seriously doubt we're getting another forward in and bumping Mubama down to third choice to barely get a look in.

He'd be an absolute hero up there as well, a marauding RB with a good shot and cross. Lack of decent opposition will cover for his defensive frailties.

Nevermind midweek, they'll be in the relegation zone today if Wimbledon or Wigan get a win.

Fucking hell, 2 wins in 2 years with 3 clubs.

I don't think they go up with him in charge. I think he'll be gone, not as quickly as he was at Rangers, but still pretty early.

People forget that JWP got a bit of an edge about him the last couple of years with us. He's not a kid anymore.

Calm down, still time to play at St Mary's yet...

Players are over the moon for him you can tell.

Tessem thinking "please stfu" as Blackmore goes on about the Millwall manager looking like Ross Kemp.

Yep, Dobbin as a left footer is probably better off playing where Matsuki is rather than in the middle.
