Hopeful of players coming in

[Rangers77]

Full backs get targeted when you play with no width....

[Artful]

If Bidwell gets forward then no one covers him. Opposition often put two men on him when attacking as Eze has a tendency to ball watch.
Routledge is not the player anymore that people remember.

Glad I’m not the only one seeing this, very easy to criticise when you only see the highlights, watch the whole match and you’ll see how over run he gets and as for getting forward- think he does his fair share

[West Acton]

I said Eze needed to work harder start season after seeing him at Preston but not everyone agreed. I think we have more areas need immediate attention then LB that would be more of luxury signing then necessity. If we stick someone reliable in front of Bidwell he’s more then adequate

What do we reckon? Would you lot be happy with

Collins
Routledge
Thorne

Or we missing something else?

Yeah would be happy with that, as long as Hall is fit for season.
Think Collins would be or hope would be like the signing we made from Spurs the canadian centre back Ryan?

Ryan Nielson - New Zealand international

Dont want to be greedy in terms of more loan signings and without doubt the priority is a Centre half. Would be delighted with James Collins. Any more would be a bonus

New Zealand, Canadian, Australian ......much of a muchness!

I'd take Collins and Thorne all day long.

Got enough wingers we are already leaving on the bench - no need to add Routledge to that.

Agreed. I can't see anyone else coming in though unfortunately. We took ages to get Wells and Hemed in.

Bidwell has had a difficult start but was one of our best players end of last season.

Maybe so, but he had competition from Robinson and he doesn't really have any this season. So yes, cover would be useful.

I still want to see a new CB and Routledge, yes if Smyth is likely to be loaned out.

[stanistheman]

Bidwell has been getting over run because people haven't been tracking back. Almost cost us again yesterday. If someone like Pawel was playing in front of him we would look more solid I believe

I agree that a lack of support means he is left exposed. It seems that at the moment Eze is not the player to provide this, can Smyth do this? If not, Washington seems more capable of doing so.

Onre thing is clear to me, a 4-3-3 or a 4-2 -3-1 is not likely to do so.

Collins, Thorne and Routledge for me. Routledge and his experience is needed, imo. Given he has got his feet on the ground, that is..
