signing deadline

tongue in cheek edit for you  

Quoted from pontoonlew

I'm not sure I've ever seen a youth team player  starting here.  

If Aswad isn't coming back then we need a new left back i think. That will allow Magnay and Parslow to share the right back or centre back duties as required should Pearson or Nsiala be injured or suspended. We're a bit light on good centre back cover.

Quoted from acko338

Obviously doesn't want to rely / risk using Paul Walker and Caine Winfarrah for a vital season end run in.

Fan abuse could finish both of them if not successful if played.

What here,  never wrong ground mate

That will allow Magnay and Parslow to share the right back or centre back duties as required should Pearson or Nsiala be ... suspended.

Absolutely no chance of that happening

Yeah  
Good point about cover though. I think the main point is that Aswad is a big loss, especially going forward, and Maggers isn't really a like for like swap there, as excellent as he is is. I think he was really doing a good job for us on the right and it'd be best to try to preserve that situation rather than having to switch him across.

Hurst mentioned that he's got Walker and Bignot and that he 'likes right backs'. Personally I don't think Parslow is much more than 'ok' in any position and I don't rate Bignot, so I'd like to see Hurst try to strengthen that by finding and signing a good left back. Hurst doesn't seem to want to play Walker or Winfarrah, and on that basis it makes them wastes of money and squad places, a lot like the Watson signing. I'd like to see that resource spent on players who Hurst will trust to play, especially as fiances are tight and money spent must ostensibly be good value.

Hurst himself said that we are not running a development squad and can't afford to operate like that, which makes his non-use of some of his squad members seems bewildering, contrary as it is. Think of how much more efficient, competitive and potent we might be if you replaced the 3 or 4 players Hurst seems unwilling to play and replaced them with some that he will give a chance to.

His comment about liking right backs was clearly a joke as he was one himself.

Hmmm. You'd think we would have enough full backs at the club already (especially if you include Winfarrah in the tally), I know Bignot has played at left back for us once or twice as well. Perhaps we'll try to get on without Aswad and hope Magnay is fit to play on the left for the rest of the season? Not sure if that would be the best option, but it certainly makes sense to some degree if it would allow us to sign another attacking player.

I know.

I thought he was a left back?

A brief look at wiki would indicate you're correct... Unless you just edited it, of course!

Ha ha not guilty!
