We have to blame the board and nothing will ever change until they change

Can’t argue with any of that DG. The injury to Klose was a hammer blow and Hanley, although he‘s done ok since he came back, has been injured for a third of the season. Another younger CB was required back in the summer. I’ve read that Farke originally intended to play with three CBS in the PL with Godfrey playing the role of the passing CB. He’s barely had two fit at any one time. Bad luck or lack of foresight?Fair points Tuckster BUT it should not be the case of waiting until end of January after 24 out of 38 games have already been played and mostly lost mainly to terrible defending by midfielders playing CB or CB's playing who should have been moved on.
The signing of a CB should have been made in July BEFORE the start of the season.
Of course targets are missed, mainly due to Smiffs small budget and as a result of not signing the right players in July, and the added reason of not wanting to sign in January for a club already relegated except in name.
Good point, I was wondering who’d be the first to notice that! He sounds like exactly what we need.Tuckster - the 6' 4" Dutch lad is under 21 so the 25 man squad thing doesn't apply.
Also is Klose going to play a part in the second half of the season, if not then there's another slot open until the summer.
Is Leitner staying or moving? Might be another slot available.
So he was going to play with 3 CBs but as I mentioned a while back he knew that Hanley had an injury in summer, Klose had an injury, Zimmermann needed surgery. Godfrey had a hernia but I think that was something that happened during the season. My opinion is if he was going to play 3 CBs then he needed another CB. Play with 2 and sure 4 is enough (as long as they are fit) but if you're going to play 3 each game then you'll need 5.Can’t argue with any of that DG.

Whatever, it’s cost us.
Klose is back training and I'm sure he said he'll be back February or early March.Tuckster - the 6' 4" Dutch lad is under 21 so the 25 man squad thing doesn't apply.

I see that Aarons agents have said spurs are calling daily to get him to push through a deal this month.
Aarons doesn't seem like the kind of guy to jump ship now.
I see that Chelsea have recalled Gallagher from his loan at Charlton he has been linked with us but I can't see us getting another midfielder in.
The Spanish left back we have been linked with is Xavi Quintilla. He is 23 so still a good age and can play at CB. If we were to sign him would he be the Lewis replacement and byram then would be the Aarons replacement?
With Rupp and Duda now in do we think Thompson will be on the way out or will DF want him around
