Would be really penny pinching stupidity not to go for a 6 foot plus centre back .... unless DC thinks Alfie Kilgour of someone else in development squad is ready to step up if needed. Not sure when Menayses will be fit or whether he's still rated by DC. I was at the development game last night and the player who caught my eye was the cb playing alongside Kilgour , I think his name is Ben Morgan ? he is about 6ft 3 and heads the ball strongly, very vocal and was organising the defence all game. someone said he is 20 so maybe he might get some bench time, he looks a hell of a prospect to me. Interesting..well done for supporting the youngster.

As I said a while ago we’d get a LB in (my source thought it was Golbourne but turned out he was wrong and it was Martin) and Mensah would be going out to a Lge 2 team. No other business for us unless we send anyone else from the 1st team squad out and then it would be an out loan to fund an in loan.... I don’t think we need anyone else - Martin and Kelly will share the LB problem slot until THD is fit and I expect Bonham to replace Smith in goal... we need to remember Kelly is young with only a couple of league/1st team competitive games experience and so DC will be cautious about throwing him in at the deep end and having him play 2 games a week as if he has a poor game or is inconsistent, it could shatter his confidence and destroy his career. JC picked up a knock but He, Parts and DL will share the RB slot and Locks, Craig and Broadbent will be the CBS ... we don’t need an old fashioned lump of a CB as long as you’re CBs read the game and position correctly and your full backs sweep behind when needed. The challenge for me is the CM partnership... we need 1 defensive to sit in front the back 4 - Upson or Clarke and 2 attacking (2 of Lines, Sercs, Matthews, Rodders, Sincs) and then Payne with 2 of Nichols, Bennett, Jak, Reilly) assuming we play an expansive 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 / 4-1-2-3 / 4-1-2-1-2 formation(s) The goals we've conceded this season suggest we do need a lump of a CB, it's OK saying CB's in the modern game can read the game but can they really do that at Div 1 mid table level. QPR's 3rd goal suggests we can read the basics! Let's hope the new goalie and LB steady our back line and we get something out of the next two games, otherwise I fear a season long relegation battle.

Don't recall DC even saying we are looking for another centre back. Therefore we will sign one today. Would be foolish not to with the International games coming shortly.

Do we not normally get an interview from DC on a Thursday talking about Saturday's game?? Not seen it this week yet, hoping they are waiting until we sign someone, before doing it! From today:

Sounded pretty upbeat there. Sounded like no more loans in though.

Isn't Morgan a no 9 by trade? Just filling in at CB?

Have you seen him play Pirate, if so whats your opinion ? Seen him 4 or 5 times. Was given a tough time in pre-season against Gethyn Hill/Weston. Still a bit raw, but a decent prospect. Could do with a loan at National League South level and regular competitive mens football.
