    I worry as I see him as a Mowbray favourite.. as previously with Bennett, someone will lose their place to fit him in.

    I dont mind if it's an experienced head for the last 20 minutes to see a game out but no way to start.

    If it's that, then ok.. my fear is he'll put him on a pedestal like last season and have all our play centred around him.

    Yes I fear that too.
    We have a great young team,with championship experience under their belt now.
    We needed to bulk the team out incase of injuries,not to set the talent back through a player in the twilight years.

    Where are these stories coming from?
    Do we have any idea of their reliability?
    We can't possibly be signing Downing and the other two midfielders mentioned in a different thread.
    The idea of the extra keeper is a puzzler too.
    I think I'll wait and see.
    Meanwhile, very good news that Lenihan is fit.
    Any thoughts about the line-up? I've never got one right yet, but I'll give it a go:
    Kaminski
    Nyambe Lenihan Ayala Bell
    Rothwell Johnson Evans
    Dolan Armstrong Brereton

    I think the keeper situation makes sense.
    Fisher is being allowed to go out on loan. But proved he could not step into the first team if Kaminski got injured.
    If he did get injured now, this 20 year old Greek keeper would have to play. He was signed to play for the Under 23's.
    Eastham is younger than everyone, and not ready.
    So we desperately need a number 2 that could step in and play in the first team if our Number one got injured.
    It would be so unfair to expect a 20 year old Greek lad to. Eastham is even younger. Fisher simply isnt anywhere near good enough, and would be a disaster. This was a no brainer.

    same with getting in a decent CM. You just know Evans will get injured. And too much is being put on Johnson at his age.

    Holbty cant play tomoz, Travis is out until Jan. We are light in that area. And he clearly doesn't fancy Davenport.
