Lansdown above all others won't want to be relegated. I've had the same thoughts all season but for me today the light has gone out, and I hope I'm proven wrong. I think we're going to struggle to sign players, I believe we would have been a more attractive proposition in the summer than now.

stephenkibby. Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 3 loans gone back 3 more in (if were still allowed that many ?) Maybe 1 permanent signing. This is how I see it unfolding the loans just to make the numbers up on the bench. Our next league match the side will be the same as today unless Williams is fit, unless there is a change at the top. we're sleep walking to the drop i'm afraid and imo the script is already written.

Atlanta_Red Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Seriously, if Cotts is not looking to bring in upwards of half a dozen new faces, then I really hope that Lansdown is looking at bringing in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I must admit I`m puzzled Moore`s gone back (unless he wanted to of course given Leicester`s season so far). With Baker getting injured today and DW only half fit if that, we`re bloody short at the back. Perhaps we`ll go 442. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Cox in! Anyway, now I've got that out of the way with if SC's comments are correct (couldn't listen to the post match phone in this week) then I'm frankly flabbergasted. We've gone beyond the point of being coy with our signings now. At this stage, we have extremely little to gain from trying to play our cards close to our chest. We need decisive and swift action in the market otherwise we risk becoming a rabbit in the headlights. Regarding the loans, it just typifies the utter shambles that was our summer recruitment. Clearly they were brought here with no intention of being first team players, just there to pad out the squad and allow us to do some more complicated drills in training. UTTER FARSE.

Haven't heard the interview to be fair, but hey what's the rush in getting players in , got loads of time. Seriously, it's not like we're short of players, not winning games, not scoring. Chill out buddy, and remember our success in signing players at the start of the season, and then not rushing to sign players we don't even use! I see your panic!

RedM Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Clutching at straws (again) but maybe he is saying he has no irons in the fire as all we want are 100% signed and secure and will be unveiled in a blaze of glory 10pm on Monday morning.

Must admit not sure how these meetings work, but I understand there used to be meetings with the club over several matters. It would be interesting if the club would put a member of the board , i.e. the chairman, and the manager to a Q&A with a select group of supporters. I think it could be used positively and answer a lot of questions and may provide some general thoughts of the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 If this is true (SC suggesting we have no targets lined up) then I am more than concerned; regardless if he thinks the team can get up to speed at this level, we now do not have enough players for a bench. And I cannot blame Leicester for wanting Moore to come home, then maybe go elsewhere; the fact he couldn't displace defenders who shipped ten goals across the last 4 games when he started the one prior that we won is bonkers.

CotswoldRed Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 If this window fails I think SCs position is untenable. A likely relegation and a fanbase who will be very bitter about a situation that was completely avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I would hope the "no irons in the fire" comment is simply a conscious decision to play his cards very close to his chest, as happened the previous summer and this summer when we bought Kodjia. The very public negotiations with Gayle and Gray did the club no favours at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 With the loans going back and Baker going off injured today, things are going from bad to worse! Having said that, we don't even need a bench seeing as Cotts is so reluctant to use them! We might as well name a bench of three ready for the 2 mins they will get in the 90th minute!

It's not a strategy. To call it that is to give it credibility and give the impression they know what they are doing. A halfwit would know the best response would be - we're working hard and are talking to a number of clubs. I hope to get a few deals over the line so watch this space.

It doesn't reveal the identities of parties involved but does signal intent: first and foremost to the fans, but also to the teams in a relegation dogfight with us. I mean come on, if you were the manager of Rotherham, Charlton, Bolton, MK Dons, etc you would have to take a bit of confidence from the fact that one of your opposition seems to be stalling in their dealings to get away from danger.
