In January we need ... 12:20 - Jan 3 with 1705 views | saint901 | Action and not rumours. A 20 goal a season striker. (I wonder if Rickie Lambert is still playing?) A holding midfield player. At least one centre back who is not going to return to his host club at the end of the season. A decent back up keeper. | | | | |
In January we need ... on 12:43 - Jan 3 with 1676 views | PatfromPoole | Do we need another holding midfield player?? We already have Downes, Charles and Smallbone. Part of me thinks that as we have to still play Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds and West Brom all away from home, we could really do with some pace to hit them on the break with. Assuming Sulemana is still unavailable / being difficult etc etc..... None of those 4 teams have particularly quick defences. They are all going to be big games, and some pace up top could really hurt those teams. Oh, and Kiefer Moore....... | |

In January we need ... on 15:05 - Jan 3 with 1579 views | saint901 | I don't rate any of those mentioned as a holding midfielder. Pace? Yes - always an asset regardless of the opposition. I'm wondering if it might be a time to see if any of the PL teams have a youngster they want to put some playing minutes into? | | | |
In January we need ... on 15:34 - Jan 3 with 1544 views | saints__fan__73 | What's the importance with getting a CB now who won't leave at end of season? All we need now is a 4th choice CB from now until end of the season. | |

Our current CB's??? Harwood-Bellis is excellent. Bednarek at least has a few years of Prem experience, and could do a job at that level. We just need back-up if Holgate goes, which it sounds like he might not. | |

Holgate staying could be crucial, if he goes we are not going to pull in a quality replacement who will be willing to play second fiddle to Bednarek /THB and 4th fiddle to Stephens. Holgate offers cover at both centre of defence and full back and can feel he is hard done by to be overlooked for the last 6 weeks, I would suggest that by putting Stephens ahead of Holgate over a busy Xmas period he might have made a costly mistake if we get injuries to Bednarek or THB | |

Not sure that Holgate is going to be with us after the transfer window. I think Everyon will recall him then loan him out again to another club that can offer him game time. | | | |

I would go along with that. Holgate was decent in his last couple of outings, and apart from hitting the bar against Norwich, Stephens has done little to justify having been shoehorned back into the side. Martin has nailed his colours to the mast by making Stephens captain though. | |

Stephens was Captain at the start of the season, Adam Armstrong was only deputising | |

Well, quite. Which basically means if he is fit, he plays. Which I think we both agree is a questionable basis to proceed with. | |

In January we need ... on 07:30 - Jan 4 with 1231 views | saint22 | We should have signed a Striker already We needed one before sicknote was ruled out so the club should have had options to come in We really cannot afford to waste all of January haggling | | | |
In January we need ... on 09:53 - Jan 4 with 1188 views | saint901 | In theory the next game we will need a full strength team on the pitch is 17 Feb which is WBA away. I'd hope to see a new striker (or any striker who actually wants to play), installed by then. As for a CB I remain of the view that Bednarek is good at our level but would be found out at PL. Same with Stephens. HB is on loan and if not in January, then at the end of the season could be gone. I'd like to see a recruit there. | | | |
