Scott Loach signed as third keeper with coaching aspirations,  he said as much himself in his first interview.  He has been on the bench so far out of necessity.  As other posters have already pointed out,  Foulkes is young and will benefit from a loan.  We need a second keeper to provide both cover and competition for Wildsmith.  It's not that difficult to understand.  The fact that we also need a rb and striker is irrelevant to this signing. 

Now I must admit to knowing absolutely nothing about Anang, other than a vague memory of perhaps seeing him against us in a 5 minute edited highlights U23 game a season or 2 ago, when my only thought then was that he was big bugger. So in truth I am ill-equipped to join in with the knowledgeable scouting experts who are frequenting this page. So I will default to taking the view that our Club’s scouting team might have done some useful analysis on this guy and he has some potential to be useful in the season to come, perhaps longer. Let’s hope so.

some people are quick to judge we have just had the club saved now were saying that some signings are not good enough. even though we cannot pay for players. a lot of people and posters need to look in the mirror .

Blimey ,it didn’t take long for the moaners and football managers in the stands to start!  44 days ago we were still in administration.Since then we’ve signed 12/13 new players in a market based on financial restrictions imposed by the EFL.We’re at least a fortnight behind in terms of fitness and we’re trying to bed in these new players and develop a playing pattern with an inexperienced,although articulate and enthusistic ,interim manager.Football isn’t an exact science and each season there’ll be highs and lows.Personally,I’m delighted with the start and expect fitness and results to improve steadily.Just listened to LR’s post match interview and he emphasised we’re a work in progress and the importance of spirit,resilience and determination in the squad.I think the realists among us realise there’s still a long way to go but from where we were,we should be really pleased with the progress made. Onwards and upwards !

Based on where we are in terms of the rebuild, having 6 points on the board after 3 games is a big deal. We've found ways to win and grind it out and put those wins in the context of Charlton, when we looked unbelievable in the first half. That's the side I hope we will become, whilst also having the right character to win when not playing sexy football.
I think this all bodes well as I think we'll only improve.
Long old season, if we can keep picking up points in difficult games we will be at the right end of the table at the end of the season.
I'm encouraged.

Just be thankful you don’t support ManU 

Yea but for some people, players need to be more like robots where you can just charge them up, programme them and away you go. 

Geez, just got back and a quick skim through this thread you'd think we'd lost.
First thing of note was, it was hot - and not just hot, but HOT!  Running out of steam in the second half was a gimme imho.  We still need time to gel and learn to knock it about more to kill games, whereas we lost the initiative again and looked knackered.  So good win all considered, 3 pts in the bag and we move on. 
Cashin was a monster today, anything on Davies?

I heard that, but certainly didn’t interpret what he said in that negative way. I think you might be over analysing things a bit and looking for ‘issues’ that really aren’t there. Sorry. 

We played well and thought we deserved the win. 
 
Also, that last 20 minutes will have done us more good than harm. 
 
Let’s go and follow that up with a win on Tuesday away from home. We can go from strength to strength but we need to do it as a club, players and supporters. 

Fitness will come and across 50++ games, you don't want your squad at concert pitch after only 3 games anyway. Some of ours have not had a lot of football in recent times and will need time to get match fit and sharp. Even as it is, we could quite easily be 3 from 3 and sat top of the table, despite a half-cooked and makeshift squad still needing time to gel.
Think it's safe to assume there's a a deal of improvement still to be unlocked and that's a pretty exciting prospect after the last couple of seasons.

No Smith is a clever footballer not a tough one. 
Well-regarded at Bristol City and I think, in time, a good acquisition.
He, like many others, needs games under his belt.
