If he’s back towards full fitness, could be a good acquisition. |  |

It will be interesting to see who he replaces..
What type of midfielder is he!. |  |

Can’t see a downside to this short term signing. Financially it will be negligible. He will provide cover during a busy period. If he doesn’t cut it he will be gone before the transfer ends. He actually has more league appearances than most of our signings since our relegation. Let’s hope he has a similar impact to Quigs.

Looks a good signing on paper, and reaction from opposition fans on social media (subject to him being fully fit) is overwhelmingly positive.
I wonder if its 1 month initially with a view to longer if we can move somebody else out... with the type of players he looks to be I'd imagine Ball (who is now deleting critical replies to his own social media posts) or Malley will be on their way out. |  | | |

I think the logical choice will be malley leaving at the end of the month... | |

I think the more sensible option would be to send Tulloch back to his parent club, if they are willing to cancel the loan and if Slicker as gone back or is prepared to go back to City, that would create an additional space and possibly money for a further signing. | | | |

It would be even more sensible to release Malley as well. | |

In an ideal world I would be looking to cancel a few contracts due to end in July with some sort of compromise deal, White and, Diagouraga both seemingly mistakes, having contributed the square root of FA, even Keohane is eminently replaceable as a fullback. The problem being that I doubt there is any money to do so. If we could afford to keep Malley, I would, but his leaving might be the only flexibility to bring Lloyd in. Even Henderson isn't contributing enough as things stand.
What's even more worrying in the long term is that Rodney, Sinclair, Taylor, Campbell and Ball will still be here next season too. |  | | |

Some good points there
The thing that interests me, and it's something that could make or break us, is what conclusions EBJ has drawn from his time in charge. I'm pretty damn sure he'll have drawn some, but will rightly have been keeping them as close to his chest as possible in his media appearances. Even so, his frustration with what he's got to work with is pretty evident, and i'm sure in discussions with the board this won't have been brushed under the carpet. The one thing that gives me hope is that EBJ isn't a 'brush things under the carpet' kind of guy

He would need a F***in big brush!
we have 26 matches to play and we need 1.2 -1.4 points per game or thereabouts say a win and a draw every 3 or 4 games, a couple of wins on the trot would be very useful about now.
But its all about scoring goals, 14 goals from 20 games tell you where the problem is. Quigley has to work a lot harder and get into the penalty area a lot more than he has so far. If he isn't forcing defenders to make mistakes he makes Henderson pointless now his pace isn't what it was. Henderson needs to be around the box looking to pounce on errors. Lets hope Lloyd can provide some quality ammunition. | | | |

Wins in the next three home games would be a good start.
Hartlepool, Newport, Colchester. | | | |

Or 12.
Four teams, three home games each.

Given these are the next 3 at home, what in your opinion do we need minimum from the 9 points available?
Id like to say we can win all 3 if we have any intention on staying up, but after the way in which we lost vs a poor Harrogate team I am really unsure if we have more than 4 points in us from the 3 games? Could we even get the 4 points!?!
The board will surely realise that going through the season with this squad as it is brings home the real possibility of relegation, whilst I would never advocate spending more than we have we are in desperate need of clearing some deadwood and getting a few EBJ replacements in.
This Jan will be as important a one for us for many a year. |  | | |

A minimum of seven points required in my opinion. | | | |

Seven would be great, 5 would be acceptable 4 or less would be poor.
These are the games that you have to maximise your points from as they make up for all the points you are unlikely to get from the top third of the table.
As it stands we have 4 points from the top 8( 7 games). 4 points from the middle 8 (7 games) and 7 points from the 7 around us in the bottom 8 from 6 games.
We are conceding goals at twice the rate we are scoring them 14/29 and our chances of keeping a clean sheet at home are only 10% so we have to score two per game at home as a minimum. we cannot defend our way up the table. | | | |

There’s a great Twitter post on Danny Lloyd’s partner’s account this evening. Wish I could do a link.
Shows the various stages of his recuperation after knee surgery. [Post edited 12 Dec 2022 20:33]
