Transfermrkt (usually a reliable site) and a few other places list him as 6'2". I'm excited to see him play though I'd keep faith in Wood and Schlotterbeck for now.

Well there's our third keeper. Jesus SR! 🤬🤬🤬

No we can sign and register them any time as long as we have space in our 25 man senior squad. I haven't done the Maths (MLG will probably know) but I think we'd have space for free agents to join because we have a lot of younger players.

Yeah Burnley fans not happy with that. Signed a lot of defenders but don't have much in attack.

GK: Peretz, great signing after we thought we'd lost him. Long as back up is short sighted. Only 2 senior GKs unless we keep and re-integrate Rammo but the club making noises that that scenario won't happen. We hope Peretz stays fit. RB: As it was last season, Bree as first choice, Roerslev as back up. Solid if unspectacular. LB: Manning and Welington. Solid enough for the Championship. CB: THB big loss but expected, Schlotterbeck looks a decent acquisition. Question marks over Abbott but at least we brought in a CB to make 4. How good Abbott is determines how much of a success the recruitment has been to replace THB. CM: We kept Jander, we replaced Charles with JWP. I don't mind this at all. I know some people don't think it's good enough but for me JWP for the money was a great bit of business as a squad player. RW: As it was. Still prefer Matsuki to Fellows though. LW: Kept Leo. Edozie may still go, replaced with Akachukwu from the youth. Dobbie can also play here. I don't think we're any weaker but another winger would have been nice, I think we lack a bit of pace in the squad. AM: Azaz and Dobbie. Probably strengthened this as Azaz was not truly backed up last season. Also I think the club see Dobbie as flexible and can play in a few positions. Striker: Larin in after thinking we'd lost him was good. Faith in Mubama as second choice to replace Stewart. No 3rd choice to replace Archer so now we say Ehibhationhan is 3rd choice. We are weaker here and hope Larin stays fit. That's where I see us. Good first choice but lacking in squad depth, mainly GK and striker. Still free agents out there though! 😁

Mubama does have a confidence about him which is no bad thing for a striker. Dobbin just seems to need to get a chance, I'm not ruling him out as a poor signing yet. It's a long season and I think he'll have something to offer.

If Peretz gets injured and Ramsdale stays, it'd only take a couple of dodgy Long performances for Ramsdale to get back in. Yes Ramsdale is on, what, 60k a week, but if he's still on the books, he'll surely be our back up. Surely... 🙏🤔

That is our biggest mistake, more so that not having an experienced third striker. God i hope nobody comes in for Ramsdale until January. To echo others I don't mind using the youth, but we are really risking a lot in a season we need to get promoted. Our full first XI is good, no issues with that although the loss of the influence of THB remains to be seen. The squad however largely remains weak. We have Long covering Peretz, Roerslev covering Bree, Abbott (because he's unproven) as 4th choice CB and Akachukwu and now Ehibhatiomhan as attacking cover. Roll on January.

Half an hour to go... 😁 In other news past SR target Devenney feom Palace to join Stoke. Surprised nobody has gone for Amass or Chido Obi from Man Utd but I think United see Amass as their back up left back now. Obi needs a loan though, big goal scoring Danish striker, hugely highly rated, good pre-season.

Yeah was going to post this. Currently in play-off form. Beat Lincoln and we're on 2 points a game. 92 points over the season and automatic promotion form. Looking for the silver linings!

Downes/Jander still our first choice pairing and I don't see JWP as much of a drop off from Charles. CM is ok, but I agree with CB. THB sale is big, young Abbott has big shoes to fill.

Whilst I agree, I think Dobbie and Akachukwu put paid to that ideal.

We lack a pacier striker IMO with Archer gone. Larin isn't slow but I haven't seen much speed from Mubama yet. Obviously SR rate him highly which is why he's second choice but I'd like a 3rd pacy striker to be able to mix it up. Mubama may come good (as may Abbott) and I'd be delighted if they do but we are risking that faith in a season where we need to get promoted or lose our best players again. Lot of pressure on Larin to be at his best all season.

With windows open elsewhere after ours shuts, I'd rather get a GK in now. Surely the club can't think Long is good enough to cover Peretz, and two keepers leaves us short. Last season we even brought Jamie Jones in when McCarthy got injured so surely they see we need 3 GKs. Yes we could end up keeping Ramsdale and I'd be delighted with that but if he does end up leaving after the window closes then that leaves us Peretz, Long and Moody. One injury to Peretz and it could be game over for automatic promotion.

Right peeps, one hour left of the window + deal sheets. Back up keeper please... 🙏
