Bs4Red Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Isn't that better?Not one but two players with experience at this level signed, not only that but just the vibe on here has massively changed and once again there is optimism around.Thats all it takes, one thing like this can bring the belief back and really kickstart a season.Heres hoping that optimism and belief is still there at 10pm next Friday night!!!

BCFC Jordan Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 They're two good loan signings on paper. However, SC has said how much he dislikes loan signings before, and the fact that about a third of our squad are now loan players is an indictment of how bad our transfer business has been.

Randy Marsh Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Intrigued to see how he'll set them up. Still would like a CM to ensure Pack isn't on the park though. Would be much happier then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not more optimistic after signing these two this morning?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Would not be my first choice; but would it be worth considering Kevin Nolan ? Experience. There must be a reason he hasn't got a club, wages? Injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Marsh Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Agree, Id be surprised to see a formation change though with Cotts very insistent on the 352 He's going to have to change it if he wants to pick up the amount of points required to stay in this division IMO.Can sign another 2 players on loan in this formation and it still won't work out for us as far as I've seen so far this season.

ashton_fan Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 These loans are until January so should tide us over until the transfer window when we surely must sign a few quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie1919 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Really happy with these two signings. Could be a lot worse. They have a full week Aswel to get used to how we play. Can't wait until next Friday. Bring them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Well his tools have improved this week so now it's time to use them properly and deliver.If we start against Forest with Wilbs retaining his place and Cox on the bench, and Bennett at wing back then this is all meaningless...

Lack of Action Man Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 These signings need to show they can slot into the team as Baker has done, rather than rot on the bench (Moore, Robinson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fit he would walk into our side like baker has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think the timing is significant. These loans don`t now expire until after the Jan window opens. If we`d made them any earlier, we risked having to make changes to what might be by then a settled team on hopefully a good run for about 3 or 4 important games over Christmas. As it stands, the next game after Jan 3rd is the FA Cup 3rd round so that gives us until the 16th to sort out something else. Have just seen however that the 2nd Jan we`re away to Reading so can`t see Cox being able to play in that one unless we`ve signed him permanently by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Would not be my first choice; but would it be worth considering Kevin Nolan ? Experience. There must be a reason he hasn't got a club, wages? Injury? Nolan will be snapped up by Allardyce when he takes over at Sunderland....so both will be back in the premier league despite being written off by many on here...I'd have welcomed both of them here, but that's going over old ground so I'll shut up!

The Bard Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 These signings need to show they can slot into the team as Baker has done, rather than rot on the bench (Moore, Robinson).Bit harsh on Moore. He's started 3 games then had an operation. I'll grant you Robinson though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I once mention performance on the pitch?My point is that it doesn't take a goal or 3 points it can take one little thing I.E a signing or a video of the academy that fans have asked for and finally got that changes the mood.may be an idea to read before commenting...

SC is very loyal to his players especially his captain. It would be a major change in SC tatics to change formation, have a feeling he will be to stubborn to change. I'm also not sure we have the players to play 4,4,2 or any other formation. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 If he still insists on 352 and tries to shoehorn these players into it and it doesn't work, then he can have no complaints when he gets sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 So, to be clear, you wouldn't have wanted Allardyce and/or Nolan at Ashton Gate...?Allardyce yes, but only if things were really bad and Cotts got fired. So currently no, but would be happy in the future.Nolan I wouldn't want, hasn't got the legs anymore. Also I don't like how he and Allardyce pressured players like Morrison to join their agent.
