Its up there alongside Alan Bennet v Crystal Palace and Scott Marshalls first two games

Alan 'Gordon' Bennett, easily the worst debut I've seen. TBF he got much better as the season went on.

[die Mannyschaft]

His brother is Nico Schlotterbeck at Dortmund. Augsburg are what you may call a Bournemouth been in lower divisions but now top flight for several years. Depending on how many games he's played and if 90 mins then could have a lot of experience. 

See his EA stats which are taken from real stats vs N Wood. Im sure our army of data analysts have checked him out.

Schlotterbeck looks a good addition. Vastly experienced German centre back.

A traffic cone could be a Jack Stephens replacement.

Obviously Millwall are a big physical side.

Makes sense to chuck him straight in next to Nathan Wood. Stephens will get bullied.

Makes a lot of sense sending Quarshie out on loan, if that is what this means 

If THB stays, I agree. If he goes, disagree.

Stephens, for all his faults, isn’t a player I associate with getting bullied. If anything he is more prone to losing his discipline, like he did with Cucurella, and just generally having terrible brain farts

Agreed. He has had a poor start to the season and has his limitations as a player but some of the hyperbole is OTT in my opinion. It’s good to have a genuine alternative but I would have concerns about throwing in a new player to a CB pairing without at least giving him a bit of time to get up to speed with how we play.

Stephens has made 3 big errors in the first 4 games and we are already 7 points behind the automatic promotion places. I'm not sure it's a necessity that he needs to know how we play. I just want someone who won't give the ball straight to the opposition in front of the goal.

I'm going to pretend I'm ITK and say that you pronounce his name Key-ven not Kev-en so that people wrongly start following suit. 😎

Edit- might help my credibility if I typed it right.

Looks like Schlotterbeck could Schlott right in at the beck. Could be a good signing.

I would rather play Scienza at CB than Calamity Jack.

[Marsdinho]

Lets hope it works out better than the last person we signed from Augsburg!

[Barton Saint]

I assume Tonda knows him well through his German connection

Probably just as well we didn't partner him with Anel then. 

[goodymatt]

This German ‘expert’ suggesting that Keven reinforces our options rather than improves them. Focusing a bit on Woods age and potential to improve further.

On paper he does appear to be an improvement to me. Guess we will find out soon enough.

Is this the same German football expert that gave a damning review of Scienza last season ?  If so best ignored.

Does he spray wayward passes across the pitch that go to an attacking player for them to score? Probably not. Upgrade on Jack then. 

A low bar has been set amongst our CBs. I'm hoping he's more Jos Hooiveld than Danny Seaborne.

Hopefully does better than our last CB called Kevin

[leeham_69]

Won't someone post a highlights reel called KEVIN SCHLOTTERBECK UNBELIEVABLE SKILLS 22/23 set to high volume trance music? I don't think we can make any informed decision without one.

[Saint Fan CaM]

If the stats are right Keven is a slight step-up from THB, but a proper left footer so for me he’s a Capt’n Jack replacement. If so, then that represents good business as we definitely needed to raise the quality of the CB pairing significantly and this does that even if he’s got Wood beside him. Trouble is, unless he’s here and training with the team before Saturday, I don’t see him getting played immediately as otherwise there’s the risk of even more chaos.

Hmmm. Chaos with Jack who's been here years or chaos with Keven who's been here hours? I pick the latter.

If medical was yesterday you’d expect an announcement today, so signed in time to play but a big question mark if we would throw him straight in. Big game on Saturday against a promotion rival, could really do with Jander and Schlotterbeck in the team but not confident we will have either available.

Jander would never start, surely. He has been out for weeks and his pre season has been non-existent.

We are weeks away from a fully fit Jander, even if he stays

Think even the bench feels unlikely but we are desperate for a better option in midfield. I hope he can make the bench and feature but I have a feeling we won’t see him until the window slams shut, if he stays.

I’ve been told we’re re-signing Chris Perry to play along side him.

Deal is dependent on Chris Makin also coming in to replace Mads Roerslev, if he goes on loan. Deal's on a knife edge, to be fair.

That’s not classy. Some of MLG’s posts I agree with, some I don’t. But that’s going a bit beyond MLG mode banter and a bit personal.

'Aggressive against the ball' - maybe a bit of Killer Svensson about him?

That would be an excellent signing.

Was just a joke with no offence intended, he even called himself a knob, so it was a response in line with his post. I don’t know the bloke, but if you’re stating he has a genuine disability, then I apologise as it would then be in bad taste……. However, that’s a fucking high woke horse to climb down from….

I like the additions of 'experienced' players like this. Nothing wrong with 'yoof', but getting some experience down the spine of the team is also necessary (good experience, not Stephens experience)

This guy has good top flight pedigree in Germany. Spors has certainly earned our trust with the Jander and Leo pick ups from Germany, but let's hope he's not another Downs.

Schlotterbeck asked to describe himself in his first interview:

“A good left foot, I would say. My brother is the same, so we get the same characteristic styles. I’m good in air duels, but I think my biggest thing is that my heart is bigger than everyone else. So it’s about to get in every duel and win this duel and hopefully I have 100% this year, it’s not possible I know, but it will be hopefully in the next few games.

“I told the club in Augsburg every time when something is there in another country, I want to do it because I want to get myself better.

“It's a new culture, it's a new game style, it's a new characteristic style, and now I'm here to help the team, to help the trainer team, to help everyone, not especially the team, also you. My English is not the best, but I try my best, so this is the same on the pitch. You have to try your best, if you don't try your best, you can't be the best, it's easy."
