Crowley would make much more sense than the lad from Brighton. Be very surprised if it happened though

Either way they'll obviously listen to whoever wants him. Hope we've at least had a look, if what Karanka says is true it'll be a steal

As I understand it we weren’t interested. He would be free in the summer though. You’ve got to think a good signing for them

I’m sure we’ll see rants from all the usual suspects as soon as he get’s his first goal for Hull

Birmingham have a years option though. No guarantees that they won't sack Karanka & a new manager fancies keeping him. Or he does so well at Hull that they have a rethink.

Very very true

That's why I'm not convinced they were prepared to let him just walk, they'll likely have wanted a fee for him to join a rival so not surprised we weren't keen.
A loan to a good League One side seems sensible all round.

I doubt we were ever in for him.

If we were I highly doubt he’d end up at Hull.

Looks like he got this one wrong. Sorry folks.
Really hope not.
I’m not sure we have enough to stay up ...
we have not strengthen this window, if anything we are weaker.
james is a swap for Kelly
Viktor for Godden
At the start of the campaign we were missing Dabo, Jobello and Rose but had Jones, and Walker. Only Dabo is back now.
In addition Shipley and Baka look very low in confidence now, but were full of it at the start of the season ( even if still largely ineffective )
I think it will be touch and go for the rest of the season and our lack of goals and lack of pace could cost us. We are too easy to set up against.
I think our squad is one of the worst 3 in the league but our manager is better than most of the bottom half. It’s whether Robins can be the difference or not.
Hardly surprising as we have the second worst budget are miles behind the spend of most. Its all about staying up this year and we are still clear of the bottom 3 with half the season left.

If we sign an AM that is better than what we have maybe Ohare level but knows how to score maybe like 6 goals a season then I would be happy with our window

No offence but I think that’s absolute bollocks.

All about opinions. Which specific bits do you disagree with ?

Well for me, it's
" I’m not sure we have enough to stay up ...
we have not strengthen this window, if anything we are weaker. "
We've played half the season and we're 7 points clear of the relegation zone. We've been missing Godden and Marosi and Kelly for large chunks of that. Everything else being equal, the best prediction would be 14 points clear at the end. By thinking we may go down, you're imagining a massively worse second half giving away a 7 point handicap advantage.
And we've let nobody go yet who would realistically play in the first team and brought in two. How can that be weakening?
Maybe we will go down but I see no reason to be pessimistic at this stage.
Logic isn’t pessimism, just as ignorance is not optimism.

Your post wasn’t logic and his wasn’t ignorance. It’s an opinion, a point of view based on nothing in particular.
I would suggest that you revisit your post at the end of the season and see if it was accurate or not.
My view is that we should ignore the other teams, concentrate on our results and finish the season as best we can and see where that takes us. I suspect that will be mid table.
Well the response to your post had a lot more logic in than yours. If you could give your logic now it might be helpful...

Thank you, Eric Cantona... even better than your seagull story.

What you seem to be forgetting, or ignoring is that we got the tactics wrong a number of times earlier in the season, playing too open for our ability, once MR tightened up the defence the results started coming. I know we had a difficult first few games in terms of the quality of opposition, but as we are half way through the season, we still have everyone to play again. Add to that some of the teams that started off well have dropped off in terms of performance, Bristol, Blackburn, Reading to a certain extent. I expect us to do better in the second half.

What we've done so far is bring in cover for injuries, though hopefully when those injuries are over it will leave us with a stronger squad.
Ideally I'd like an AM but not going to be a decent one available at a cheapish price right now and with the loan situation that would create problems in itself. So I can see Hamer being moved forward next to O'hare with James and Sheaf (Kelly when he's back) behind.

James isn’t cover for injuries he’s the best midfielder we have alongside Hamer
