    Probably not the night for it, need to get behind the team.

    Livi on Sat is the time for me.

    Hoping for a win and a big win at that to take the pressure off of the return leg.

    However, any win will do.

    Can't be losing or drawing to a team like this if we had any European ambitions.

    Lack of signings answer that statement already though...

    I think the Livi game would give the fans the opportunity to show their feelings. Perhaps fans forums can suggest what type of protest we can do so that it's unanimous and not just sporadic boos and a few banners from the GB and the Bhoys.

    Aye as much as I am annoyed, players will need the fans tonight.

    Time to get the "asleep at the wheel" tifo out again, though..

    I'd take a loan to buy to cover Jota. But we should be spending on a RW and another winger imo. Then a striker. And a LB.

    But that isn't gonna happen. And even then I'd see us leaving ourselves short.

    We need a striker, LW, RW and LB minimum.

    You know we are going with Scales/Trusty as LB cover, though. Which is beyond infuriating.

    Aye in my wildest optimistic thought we aren’t going to come out the window fully covered. 3 wingers, a Kyogo level striker and a young promising LB is what I think we should have. At the least to not be short 2 wingers and the rest.

    I’m still maybe in denial and believe there’s no chance we go without getting a RW to replace Kuhn by this window ending. Surely to * at least.

    Listen its a monumental task to expect us to get through with the limited options up front but agreed tonight is about trying to back the team the fury can come though against livingston and first home game after window closes.

    You're probably right, but I won't be surprised if we see a banner about transfers somewhere.

    Won't come from the GB, think they're either still banned from bringing their own ones in or the club are analysing everything they bring in and it needs to be pre-agreed.

    I wouldn't be overly against Vardy if he came with another striker. At least 1 winger is non-negotiable. We clearly also need a backup LB Inamura isn't that guy and I would still like to see a holding mid

    So that's 2 Strikers, 1 winger (at least), 1 Left back and 1 holding midfielder ... Aye it's no happening

    We aren't signing 2 strikers. No chance. Surprised we are even targeting one, to be honest. We have 4 on the books right now, for one position and that doesn't include Maeda.

    No winger in really is a total farce and insult to the fans.

    We can't end this window without 2 wingers. If we don't get any we'd be as well just forfeiting the UCL/Europa.

    What we'll likely get is..

    LB Loan
    LW Loan
    ST would take Vardy
    RW permanent

    Even then im not confident we'll get that

    We will probably get 2 loans one winger and a back up left back and vardy signed for the season but someone will leave either trusty or if a bid of £20 million plus comes in meada .
    But if that happens I can see discontent between the fans and the board .

    I think we will probably sell Maeda and Idah after this season (or possibly even Jan similar to Kyogo if theres a large points advantage in the league)

    So we really need major re-enforcements up front. Vardy would be a sticky plaster for this season only.

    Would be a 'dream' at this stage, tbh.
