Josh Koroma (Huddersfield) & Gassan Ahadme (Ipswich Town) both publicly available for loan. Both would improve our winger options.

Seen on Twitter Leeds fans suggesting us as a potential location for young forward Max Dean. Not sure whether it is an ITK bit of info or a random shout.

Keep an eye on a loan move for Jarrell Quansah. Highly rated centre back at Liverpool. The Anfield Watch Academy “The on-looking Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe would have been suitably impressed. So too, Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton, who caught the first 45 minutes, as per @livecholfc”

Judging by previous signings the first we may hear of a new player is just before the team sheets are handed to the ref on a matchday.
Judging by the plymouth game another central defender is a must. If we intend on playing a back 3.
Also that game highlighted the shortage of the battling and controlling type midfielder in the squad.

Not too worried about our midfield when Coutts,Finley & Rossiter are available but we’re definitely need an experienced central defender to marshal our back line in the mould of some of our previous defenders such as a Steve Elliot, Mark McCrystal or a Tony Craig. The amount of times we are being exposed by a ball over the top or a simple through ball is embarrassing.

What I'd like to see/think we need
ASAP CB (ideally able to play on left of a back 3) LB
Before end of window DCM Cover RB cover CB cover SS7 signs
Last minute Something exciting
Maybe one or two of the youngsters recalled (Ward? Lawrence?) to give cover and depth and an opportunity. Get Ward as number 2 now please.

Amadou Bakayoko to FGR from Bolton I remember being on the way to an away game and in a services with plenty of rovers fans as word spread that we had signed him. Before he chose to go elsewhere last minute haha.

I think a few are a little quick to bemoan talented players... Yes, we're conceding goals but we often play a striker at WB. We have some young defenders. Other than last night- we are competitive in each game and will only improve. New players aren't always the answer. Work hard on what we have. For me- and extra CM and another LB option are needed for numbers, not due to lack of quality. I get what you’re saying, but the amount of chances & goals we’re conceding this season from long, and what should be fairly straight-forward balls straight down our throats is criminal. It’s far too easy to score against us in this manner and I don’t see a new LB or CM (although I agree we need both) solving that particular issue. I’ll be stunned if we don’t sign at least one new CB this month, and I think all the other CBs we have would benefit from that man having a bit of experience, leadership and know-how.

So too, Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton, who caught the first 45 minutes, as per @livecholfc” Billy Koumetio played alongside him having been called back from a loan in Austria. Maybe he caught the eye as well, especially as he scored a brace including one from his own half 👀

We clearly have weakness in the defence, 3rd worse in the league. This has to be the priority to add 1 or 2 quality signings. Also we need to make sure we do have backup for collins should there be any last day shenanigans leaving us in the lurch.

However I think the outgoings are going to be crucial to that We certainly have lots of squad spaces, even without outgoings. But assuming Alfie, Zain and (already confirmed) Trevor arent in the squad, we wont need to lose any more. Financially maybe!

Need an experienced central defender and left back.
Could do with additional cover in midfield?

(The Real EFL) Journalist is reporting Walsall midfielder Liam Kinsella is subject to interest from a number of League One sides. 26, out of contract in the summer. Maybe one to keep an eye on.
