Credit where it’s due- I thought PW’s interview today was good. Told it as it was. Still feel the Club overall perhaps didn’t get everything right re the striker issue but, hey, I don’t know all the ins and outs and it’s always easy to criticize after the event or from the bleechers….
So, we move on …….

I think its about time mods starting dealing with all these stupid and toxic comments. Its ruining the forum which has always had a good atmosphere. Its become toxic now because of the anti Warne and anti club agenda a vocal minority have.

The question was how do we change it up with what we've got if it's to challenging for you to post a sensible reply don't bother 

Really ? Can’t we have one thread that’s not destroyed by this , we’ve got the manager in place for good or for bad , if your not interested in a decent debate about or putting ideas forward why bloody spoil it for others who may be interested of have ideas 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a surprise some tit is straight on turning it into a anti Warne thread with the usual bore Roy mac applauding it ducking grow up you're ruining the forum for others

Change the manager

Because I'd imagine until you start negotiating, you don't know whether a deal can be done within your constraints or not?

So you want to class Weston as a striker to beat Paul Warne with but then not as a striker once again to beat Paul Warne with. Unbelievable.

I’m looking purely at League 1, will worry about the Championship once we’re there. 

I just hope we don't put any money in Sheffield Wednesday's coffers! 

We really need to stop trying to do business with Wednesday 

I don't know, I've heard she's sweet 😂

There are a few posters who turn every thread into a dig at Warne thread quite pathetic really 

You beat me to it 🤣

I don't know, I've heard she's sweet 😂

I don't know, I've heard she's sweet 😂

Yes you do make the rules , doesn’t matter if the bloke has 3 promotions from this league in a short so far career, doesn’t matter we are right in the mix for autos , doesn’t matter didzy had his best year ever under him , doesn’t matter Mendez lang is heading for the same , doesn’t matter Collins who’s slated as rubbish is having a great season ,,,,,,,,, YOU DONT LIKE HIM,,, that’s that , toys leave pram and we’ve all got to hear about it incessantly,,,,,, YAWN 🤷🏻‍♂️

Without selling Cashin or Bird, we have nothing in the pot for permanent signings. We know that.
We’re left with loan options only, where many of the better players available on loan will already be out at clubs.
Unless we’re able to structure a deal with a club like the CBT one where a contract is expiring, we’re left scraping the barrel.
That’s the situation.
Gregory would not be an exciting signing, he will not sell extra tickets, nor is he Warne’s first choice in this situation, we all know that as well with the approach for Smith.
What it would be a short term loan until the end of the season giving us cover for Collins. I suspect he would be behind Washington as well if he can get himself fit.
It’s the final transfer window before restrictions are lifted and we get to see what Clowes and Warne can bring to the club.
Until then, we have to just get on with it and show a little understanding that none of this is an ideal situation for club, manager or fans.

Sorry mate I would disagree here.
Forsyth was our only left back on the books in the summer. He signed a one year deal and most agreed he would have been a good squad player to have. We then signed Elder, who pretty much we all agreed on that it was a really good signing. 28 years old, won league one previously, had 10 assists from left back. Unfortunately for him he was injured in pre season and missed most of it. Missing pre season is massive for any player as they are playing catch up.
How do we know that he wouldn't get infront of Forsyth of he'd been fit and firing all season? We don't. He's clearly plenty good enough.
His other signings.
Wilson - Has potential to be really good. 
Bradley - Everyone was absolutely buzzing when we signed him. Didn't start great. Made a couple of mistakes (which is all you need to do in our fans cases before we write someone off) and he's unfortunate that Cashin and Nelson have been so good. We probably signed him expecting Cashin to go.
Fornah - Definitely has potential. Still young. Hardly any experience. But there's definitely a player in there. Sometimes to laid back but he'll learn.
Washington - A player Warne trusts. Just starting to see glimpses (the go against Northampton) of what he could do at this level, getting up to speed. Then he's injured on international duty.
Ward - Obviously with 352 in mind. But now he just looks like he's surplus to requirements. I might be wrong. But I just don't see him getting a game or even on the bench soon.
Waghorn - Steady played. No world beater. Cheap, convenient and will still contribute when he's back fit.
Nyambe - Brilliant signing. Really good defender. 
Vickers - A keeper. Not really don't anything wrong.
TJJ - Massive risk we felt we could take. Obviously looked at his ability and thought we couldn't get much better if we can get him fit. It's not worked out. 
Embleton - Can barely judge this. He did his thigh taking a corner in training.
Some signings don't work out as you hope. It's the way it goes. 
But we don't seem to give anyone a chance before we want them gone or say they are s****. I've seen some having a go at CBT already after playing 80 minutes of football for us.
I've just seen Brighton are letting Dahoud go. A midfielder they signed from Dortmund in the summer. Clearly not worked out it happens.
We're a league one club, with hardly any money, working to restrictions. We can only do what we can do. 

I like the guy 
He’s doing ok under difficult circumstances 
The club are still under restrictions whichever way you want to look at it. 

I think fornah would improve dramatically if he got the game time. But him and thompson are somehow behind hourihane whos less mobile than my grandad , and he passed away 3 years ago.

Way I see it is that if letting players go is the only chance of bringing players in, let’s utilise the value of those not considered our regular starters.
