I would not worry too much. Money not spent now might be worth a whole lot more in January, and if we can do well in the time to then then NFFC in the top half of the division and playing well will attract better players than it does now.

I think that with Morgan, Chambers, Wilson, Perch and others fighting to be the centre backs that the competition for places will drive good performances. Perch as a midfielder is over I think, he will be trained as a defender proper now and stop being a jack of all trades but master of none.

Also this season we have a vocal goalkeeper who can organise his defence behind them too, so even if we sign nobody at the moment, its not a reason to panic in my view.

I think we need and we will definitely will bring in a CB before Saturday, if not then before the end of the window. It might not be Mills but theres plenty of other options.

If BD understands the need for defenders , then he better get on the horn and get some.

We sticking with Chambers & Wes in the middle and i can guarantee that we won't be keeping a lot of clean sheets.

Yes I think he's forecasting a deflationary environment for the economy. The value of money saved becomes greater when prices are falling. But there are signs the recession is ending so this could be wrong.




Or did you just mean we never buy f*ck all in January...

You must be joking! We're in deep doo doo if that is the sum total of our central defensive line this season.

All the good work sorting out the midfield and upfront counts for f**k all if we have a featherlight, vulnerable central defence, which is what this lot amount to.

King Billy knows this, and that is why he's so anxious to shore things up.

I'd like to see us step up efforts to get Zak Whitbread. I've only heard good things about him since we were linked.

Other than that, Alex Pearce of Reading would be good but I doubt Reading are in any great hurry to sell.

Sean St Ledger at Preston would also be a quality addition.

Sonko, s**ttu, Wood, Callum Davenport, Martin Taylor, Leon Cort,Whitbread, Elliot Ward, Mawene, St Ledger, Albrechsen...there are names a plenty to consider on loan or to buy. Surely Billy will have a plan. I expect something will happen this week but maybe a left back first.

Anderson had a fee agreed with Swansea.

But we still got him.

St Ledger is a great defender but there's no way Preston would let him go. Is Sonko still at Reading or did he get released? He would be a quality addition! Albrechsen - have a word with yourself!

Very different circumstances though. We've got to move on, I'm disappointed but glad the whole thing is finally over to be honest. We desperately need 1 or 2 strong, aerially commanding centre backs otherwise I fear all of the hard work will be undone. We won't be able to handle the likes of Hulse and Porter with Wes and Wilson/Chambers.

Hope so! Just the ticket IMO, we only have 1 genuine Championship level CB.

Is he gonna be any better than we already have? I reckon if chambers and wilson transfered to a ;eague one club they'd impress too.
Nah man I like Billys way of things.. Get the proven boys in that will do the job in the here and now

Think Shittu would come aswell not playing first team football all the time and hes not the youngest of players, if we get him i think we could be challenging for promotion..

There is competition there but let's face it none of these (aside from Morgan) IMO proved they were good enough at this level. I think Chambers isn'too bad but we need some improvemtns. I think that come the end of last season the primary target should've been improving the defence and we have sorted the full back spots now and we require a centre back our improvements still are not done and a centre back is vital as I think has been proved through the pre season matches that have gone on.

It really pees me off, Season Ticket sales, here we are trying to sign quality players, yet fail to meet the selling clubs valuation.

Have we got ambition to go further than another relegation scrap

Is the owner really serious about taking this club forward

Why are Derby and Leicester showing ambition and getting out there signing players and yet we cannot get a center back from shitty Doncaster

Another dire season ahead I predict glad to take the fans money and tread water in the lower reach's of the CCC :mad:

Shittu is the best cb we've been linked with so far, by quite a margin.

Ooo no sedgred.

I genuinly feel theres more opimism about the place than there has been in the last decade. Billy has pulled out all the stops this year to land most of his targets.. and not all easy to accquire! look at this list and tell me you arn't happy about pre-season so far.. Mckenna, Gunter, Anderson, Adebola, Camp, Majewski, Mcgoldrick, Lynch, Blackstock.. these are qulity signings!

A great Pre-season, good performances, very specific and purposely planned games.. and most of all an actual sense of looking like we know what we are doing.
