Ah fair enough, makes more sense.

It was proven last season when we signed Larin. Everything changed and we became unbeatable. Ok not solely down to just that but it was a huge factor. We just can't play without a decent physical CF.

Just seen it myself. Arm clearly up and in an unnatural position, stopping the ball from going past him.

The club wanted Falchener and Schlotterbeck as our first choice CBs with Stephens and Wood as backups. That isn't a guess.

As I said in my other post, we signed Schlotterbeck to improve upon Stephens. The THB replacement was supposed to be the Norwegian CB but we didn't bid enough on deadline day.

Yeah, no point giving Mubama minutes. Tonda clearly doesn't rate him at all and he's not even our player.

Another 2 goals and an assist today. Not sure we can ignore him much longer given we've currently got an absolute carthorse coming off the bench

He's dislocated his shoulder according to Eckhart. That's likely 6-8 weeks out. Uh oh.

Trying not to think about how much Lankshear (if fit) would shit on us without Schlotterbeck

Not so easy when you've got two forwards who couldn't trap a bag of cement

We did but he wasn't signed as the direct THB replacement. The club (through Alfie House) even admitted that. We missed out on the main replacements on deadline day and ended up signing Abbott (who did look ok today)

We didn't sign a good enough alternative to Larin and a CB to replace THB. And it's costing us massively.

Also Abbott is better than Stephens

The board didnt back him though. We signed a 31 year old half fit striker and no alternative. Huge mistake.

Yeah, it's a regular occurrence now against teams in the bottom half. Unless we sign 2 more attackers in January we won't be going up.
