ChippenhamRed Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I’m not one for the panic button but you have to say, if we don’t start winning games soon the pressure is going to build very quickly on LJ after last season’s capitulation.

Sure - but am I right in thinking only the Baker injury is new? We knew we had Wright injured, were losing Flint, and I think that we had Hegeler injured, and that we suffered with injuries last season and still let Vyner go on loan. We also have known since Tuesday we needed a centre back on loan and failed to get that over the line in time for the game, which I would forgive if we had got the additional keeper LJ openly stated we needed and the replacement for Djuric sorted in time for the transfer deadline. I know it is not easy to get players in but, if you let them go, you have to replace them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
