Re: May be another

Hope so. They don’t always announce things that are already done, for some reason.

Would be great if it was a top quality striker (Al Hamadi / Lowe) but have a feeling that might need to wait for later in the window, if it happens at all.

I'd imagine that signing either of those strikers would be reliant on those two clubs getting players in first, before they'd consider selling.

Especially Ipswich, who would have Hirst as their only striker if Al Hamadi left.

Personally I can't see Al Hamidi wanting to drop to L1, and Lowe feels like the more realistic option.

Re: May be another

I believe both are ‘on the radar’. Get those two in and a few high earners out and were about good to go!

Might need to get the high earners out first before we can get either/both of them in?

Hope not. Would be very frustrating to see them go elsewhere while the likes of Chong and Mengi continue to stink the place out while still picking up a fat wage packet.

Be very (but pleasantly) surprised if we try and get both. I imagine it will be one or the other..

Re: May be another

Although he’s 6ft 4 himself, Lowe had success last year playing with Jamille Matt who’s also over 6ft, so maybe he’s not a traditional target man at this stage of his career. Agree it’s likely to be one / neither rather than both though

Very uninspiring signing, couldn’t hold down a regular starting position at Wycombe and having just spoken to my Wycombe supporting friend, hardly ever impacted the game when coming off the bench. Squad player at best, do we really need another one?

This is the third time MB has taken Kodua on loan, so he obviously sees something in him. The lad was only 19 when he arrived at Wycombe and he says in his interview that he's nowhere near his ceiling as a player yet.

Re: Kodua confirmed.

He's 20.

Perhaps it's worth giving him a chance before completely writing him off as shit?

But that's not really the Luton way these days is it? Much easier to moan about every single thing.

But we've actually had plenty to moan about over the last 18 months though haven't we.

Re: Kodua confirmed.

Last season, yeah. Personally, I don't see how you can moan about the season in the PL, considering it was seen by literally everyone as a free hit. Yeah we didn't strengthen in the window, but nor did anyone in the PL that season, which says something about the state of activity that season. And even if we had done, it doesn't gaurantee anything. Ispwich spent over £150 mill and went down with fewer points than we did. And we'd have been stuck with even more players on PL wages who we didn't really want. I remember Cuba demanding that January that we sign Bradley Dack. Yes, the same Bradley Dack who played against us for Gilligham at the weekend

.

But what's been pathetic, and quite depressing, to me, is how after 10 years of unprecidented success, fans began moaning, bitching and turning on the board, over every little thing, the moment things stopped going our way. As a fan base, we've turned into what I feared we would after promotion.

Agree with your first paragraph.

But I completely disagree with the second. Back-to-back relegations don’t just happen because a few things didn’t go our way, they’re a clear sign of deeper issues at the club on the pitch.

If you want to call fans’ reactions “bitching,” that’s your call. But I think much of the criticism has been valid and well earned. Sure, some go too far, just as others get overly defensive the moment the club faces any scrutiny.

2020 are still firmly in credit, no doubt about that. What they’ve built over the past decade won’t be erased by two tough seasons. But that doesn’t mean everything’s always fine. You can acknowledge the rise and still be angry about the fall. Criticism isn’t disloyal.

Re: Kodua confirmed.

Again, Ispwich spent £150 million in the PL, with a coach much more highly thought of than RE, and did worse than us.

Staying up would have been a greater achivement than going up, IMO. So, personally, I don't see getting relegated from the PL as a failure.

I completely understand moaning about last season. The failure of the manager, not sacking him earlier, a poor transfer window last summer, and even the constant injuries. I was mainly talking about how the smallest things were used as a stick to attack 2020, even before last season started. As though people were almost relishing being able to say "I told you so". I think it's not just us, FWIW. Modern football fans don't tend to be very stoic in the face of adversity.

We had two teams with points deductions and the worst Everton team in memory.

Edwards complete lack of tactical ability and the failure to replace Lockyer relegated us. And that useless prick Kabore

Yep. And the acceptance by a large number of our supporters that it was perfectly fine to get beaten regularly. That mentality stayed with the players for a further 12 months.

You really are a sad, snidey old nonce aren't you?

Re: Kodua confirmed.

Partly.

After the West ham game in particular was embarrassing. We threw away a load of points from wining positions, yet players were getting clapped off

You've brought up the West Ham game a few times. Way I saw it was that we gave it a bloody good go, particularly first half but couldn't cope with the quality of the likes of Kudus and Bowen.

Way a lot of games went that season. Personally I didn't see much disgrace in that, certainly not worthy of booing the players off.

Re: Kodua confirmed.

Tbh the West ham game wasn't the worst but it's stuck in my head because of how much it pissed me off at the time. We didn't defend that second half well enough

Bournemouth away obviously unacceptable.
Newcastle away we should've got something.
Home games - wolves, arsenal, Liverpool we should've got something off the top of my head.

Yes you can look at those teams and say we wouldn't have expected anything from those games, but we worked so hard in the game to get into a position and then someone, usually Kabore, would fuck it up. Edwards needed to be more pragmatic once we had taken the lead.

We will never get as good an opportunity with two teams having points deductions.

Re: Kodua confirmed.

We ‘got something’ at Newcastle away, Wolves at home and Liverpool at home!!

Re: Kodua confirmed.

Something more then

No one said those performances were worthy of booing players off but continually cheering them after defeats made losing acceptable, IMO, in the players mindset at least.
Booing players off after certain games last season, Middlesbrough away for example, was more than deserved.

So, what you seem to be saying is:-

I didn't see the PL as a free hit at all.
And we went down with a whimper.

Re: Kodua confirmed.

And went down again with another whimer, apart from a late flurry.

Last season and a half was a steaming turd of failure both on and off the pitch, so yeah, a bit of a moan is entirely justified.

But all that is in the past now and we have to look forwards and hope we learned from the mistakes and instill a much better attitude.

Feels better and more positive so far. But we still need a feckin striker or two!

Re: Kodua confirmed.

Exactly. I’d rather sign someone like Kodua than Josh fcuking Bowler. Still unbelievable that he was our only ‘premier league’ loan last season.

Seeing how direct Wycombe were last season, I’m not surprised.

Have to see how he shapes up.

Yeah could be right.. Seems like a genuine nice lad from his interview.

Averages a goal every 10 games.

VIP

A very misleading statistic. Ten of those twenty appearances added up to a total of 46 minutes (based on a 90 minute game). It's difficult to make an impact in two or three minutes as you don't get a chance to "get into the game"

He played a total of 362 minutes in league games and scored twice so, based on playing time, he averaged a goal every two games.

I would say that a more concerning thing than his goals per game ratio is why he was getting so little playing time but MB presumably thinks that he will work for us.

And?

David Preece scored approximately once every 20 games throughout his career and he wasn't too shabby a player.

David Preece wasn't a forward.
David Preece didn't struggle to get into a starting 11 at Wycombe.
