Gubbins wasn’t in the qpr squad Saturday… maybe he could now be available… he started to look good towards the end of last season …

Agree.

After a poor start he looked a useful left back.

Not the centre half we need though.

So back to transfer maybe ;) got excited was 2 more pages thought maybe were close to some one. then read them it’s just unrelated waffle

We seem to have dried up of even wild speculation

Diego Costa is still available ....

I think (and I seem to be in a minority of one) that left back cover is a priority. Clifford for me has gone backwards in his development. Hopefully this will be his kick on year but if not we seem a little short of cover

Another CB allows Ralph back into LWB. CB is more important IMO

Agreed, my long term opinion is that Ralph should be making competition on the left for Clifford, as that is his natural position on the pitch, he was okay cover for the time at CB, but ultimately we need another CB there.

We have Lomas and Taylor, so have the cover.

I'd play Lomas Saturday and Ralph LWB, even with Lomas lack of game time.

But we don't play with FBs. So its LWB/LMF and we have plenty of cover because not only can NR go in there but so can Bridge, Mooney, Wood and others? So think priority is CB (left footed unless he's Polish) and another forward..

Problem is in a back three the LCB has to cover the full back position and is often pulled wider. Which is why having a left footer is important. RB playing LB I come out in sweats over having watch Elvis play LB away at Portsmouth.

I think but not that it really matters lomas preference is the right sided central defender slot… could be wrong tho

I wouldn't. I don't see how it can be fit enough.

You want a few of them. Hit em hard and horrible early doors let them know.

"Hard and horrible..." ??? What we don't need are players going into the book within 5 minutes and not being able to tackle for the rest of the game for fear of a second yellow. I don't mind tough tackles...but I wouldn't support Southend players deliberately carrying out horrible tackles. Legs break...careers are ended.
