There's a tough balance here between waiting patiently to get the "right" signings in, and needing players desperately because our next 4 games are against other teams down the bottom.

It'll make it very hard to stay up if we get some players in at the end of the month after potentially losing, or not winning any of, our next 4 matches.

Glad it’s a defender, you only have to look at the goals against column to see we have issues there.

We need a bit of pace at CB. So either of those could be the plodder along side the new pacy guy.

Very much doubt there is a queue for Pollock at the minute.

I know i don't post here often so you can choose to dismiss this post if you like, but as i keep seeing posts saying Pollock is being scouted and he's worth this, that and the other i thought i'd share a chat i had with a friend who is a scout for numerous teams at the top end of the football food chain and he absoultely assures me there has been no interest from any teams in Mattie Pollock. Holloway was apparently touting him around in the summer and he offered him to Leicester City for £250,000 but they weren't interested, saying he was too slow to make it at any level above League 1.

Interesting you mention that, there definitely have been scouts watching Pollock, one in particular who represents a few clubs in the midlands, as for actual interest in signing him I’m not sure.

What interests me more is what you say about Holloway touting him around. I was told the same was being done with the young lad Boyd, and the only reason he played him was to increase the profile of the club and its youth academy and to drum up some interest in some of our youngsters. It just so happens he then scored a screamer. Apparently then a “source” from our club leaked to the media that the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea were interested.
