Great game, but he's a youngster, he won't do that week in week out so we do need to buy somebody like Gallagher too in my opinion!

Johnstone De Laet Chester Terry Taylor Jedi Adomah Onomah Hourihane Kodjia Davis (or hopefully Gallagher)

I've not heard Bruce confirm a rumour and then us not get the player so I am hopeful that Gallagher will get across the line. Snodgrass or Ryan Kent for the wing and we're set.

Just watched the Sam Gallagher clips on YouTube. Looks a very good player and exactly what we need!

I'm past that. We need these two positions sorting whoever is in charge and I would hope the signings and ratified with the board. Whether Bruce stays or goes we need to get behind the team and hope for a win in every game!

Snodgrass and Gallagher on loan would be tremendous!!

Bruce has apparently said a striker is on the agenda but there's not much money about - what options could we be looking at? Rikkie Lambert? Glenn Murray? Daryll Murphy? Danny Ings? Sam Gallagher?

Johnstone De Laet Chester Terry Taylor Jedi Adomah Lansbury Hourihane ? Kodjia Steer, Bree, Whelan, Elmo, Onomah, Green, RHM In my opinion we're a left winger (as well as a new manager and some players back to fitness) away from a seriously good team, with plenty of pace on the bench (Onomah, Green, RHM). We may well need a striker too, if McCormack is done and Hogan is always injured. With this formation though, we would need a manager to encourage the midfield bank of four to always push forward and not sit deep which is happening at the moment. You've gotta back the back 6 to stop most things that try to come through it.

I think he'll be given Norwich on Saturday (I don't want him to be). If he doesn't win that, he'll be toast!

Time to go and needs to go now. Should have gone for Monk in the summer, now I want something similar. A young progressive manager who has a definitive style (preferably an attractive attacking style)

Favourites for Snodgrass according to the bookies - by a country mile too.

Johnstone Bree Chester Terry Taylor Onomah Whelan Hourihane Adomah Green Hogan Goalkeeper, defence and striker pick themselves at the moment (Hopefully Hutton is done here!) We need to find something that clicks in midfield, and for me Hourihane and Adomah need to start every game as they have the best potential to create (judging by the stats from last season), we also need Hourihanes set pieces. I'd then be playing Whelan as that bit of bite until Jedi is back and then Onomah and Green as the young, quick, exciting, unknown talent to keep the opposition on their toes.

Plus we need to be starting Adomah and Hourihane every game as they're our best chance of creating chances - I don't rate Lansbury.

I've said this before, but our biggest problem last season was creating and scoring goals - our recruitment this season therefore has been a hit of a joke. Whilst they're all decent signings in my opinion, very few of them address this problem. We need a midfielder (winger or no. 10) who can create and another striker (bigger type who can hold the ball up and score). How many loans are we allowed in total?

Dean Smirh for me - Villa fan and good football. Knows how to get the best out of Hogan.

Reading, Norwich and Bristol - how many points does he need to keep his job? I don't think we can lose another game so quickly if we want promotion, so I honestly think he needs 7 points.

I thought this, but on Wednesday when De Laet came on he went to right back and Bree moved over to the left.

I remember saying the same thing in January and then all of a sudden they banged big money on Hogan. As we stand, I'd imagine loans are more likely, however, we haven't finished selling everyone yet!

Now Amavi has gone and Bacuna looks to be on his way, I'd imagine we will be able to get Kent in on loan if that is who we are looking for on the left. I think we'll certainly need to shift McCormack and potentially Elphick and Gardener before getting a striker in, but I do think we'll get a striker!

After watching last night, we really could do with someone to cover Centre back and left back - I hear Nathan Baker is decent. . . .

Based on the first two games, the team should be this: Steer Hutton Terry Chester Taylor Whelan Onomah Elmo Adomah Gabby Hogan O'Hare first man off the bench!

13.5 million confirmed? Why would somebody pay that when we'd previously agreed to sell for 7million to Sevilla? Either way, hopefully this will loosen the purse strings a little - cover for the left side and potentially a striker needed.

O'Hare has got to start at the weekend!

Now Sunderland have sold Lens, maybe they'll be able to do the deal for McCormack.

Gk - Johnstone, Steer RB - Hutton, Bree LB - Taylor, ? CB - Terry, Chester, Samba, De Laet DM - Whelan, Jedi CM - Lansbury, Hourihane RM - Elmo, Adomah LM - ?, Green AM - Onomah, Thor, Grealish ST- Kodjia, Hogan, Gabby Can go - Bunn, Richards, Elphick, Amavi, Bacuna, Gardner, McCormack I'd be hopeful of getting rid of all of them except Richards (who can provide further cover at the back). Would love to to see an established player like Snodgrass for left wing, but think it will be Ryan Kent.
