So, the Welshlad seal of approval makes this Kellyman story look more authentic and with rumours of a midfielder coming in, it’s beginning to look we won’t be bringing in a left back - is Kpakio being considered as an option in that position?

More likely Ng although I think I read Osho can play full backQuote:

I was thinking of Ng right back and Kpakio on the left whenever Bagan needs a rest or is unavailable. Never been fully convinced by Ng at left back.Quote:

Will Alves loaned to Huddersfield.
Wonder how he’ll do in this league. I don’t think he made a single positive contribution for us. A lot of running in circles for nothing.Quote:

Yes apart from that. We would have been screwed without that goal and 3 assists.Quote:

It's all good stuff. When he signed for us the move was seen by some as a real coup. We had people on here reporting that Leicester fans were saying Alves was too good for the Championship and should have been in their Premier League squad. Now Leicester are back in the Championship, he can't get anywhere near their first team and they're loaning him out to a League One club.Quote:

Alves is the definition of that player who gets you excited initially as he's quick and direct, then you watch him play a few times and he's got zero end product. Glad we've not signed him.

Think this is the right decision and review in January if not getting enough game time.
EDIT: just seen they said he played CM against Cheltenham...?! So maybe not the most reliable of reports.
Giles should still go out.
Can we judge any player based on last season's setup?
Are you expecting a LB to come in?Quote:
