SWINDON TOWN: Loan signings will have to wait
7:30am Thursday 9th September 2010 in
DANNY Wilson believes Town fans may not see new arrivals at the County Ground until at least the end of the month, to ensure his side are well covered for the Christmas period.
With the emergency loan window now open, Wilson has the option to bring in players on a temporary basis up to a maximum of 93 days.
And leaving those deals until the start of October would ensure that a busy festive spell is covered - a common tactic for most managers including Wilson.
“It would be daft not to (have the loans covering Christmas), because that is one of the busiest periods of the season,” he told the Advertiser.
“You would ideally try and encompass all that together.
“We will identify the players but it may not happen in the next week or so.
“We will assess ourselves over the period and not rush into things like we have always said.
“And we feel that with the lads starting to put a bit of momentum together, it gives us a little bit of breathing space.
“But it still doesn’t alter the fact that we need one or two areas to be covered, and those areas will be priority for us.”
With goals being shipped at an alarming rate in the season’s early games, one of those “priority” targets was an experienced centre-back.
But following successive clean sheets and a handful of impressive performances from centre-backs Scott Cuthbert, Sean Morrison and Lecsinel Jean-Francois, Wilson hinted that Swindon’s focus may be changing.
“We have wanted our lads to prove themselves, and in a few areas that maybe we questioned they are starting to gel very well - and by that I mean the full-back and centre-back positions.
“With all due respect, Sean, Scott and Lecsy have surprised me over the last few games, and surprised me very pleasantly.
“We thought we maybe needed experience straight away, but the way they are forging a relationship may give us a bit of breathing space.”

We need slightly more than 'a bit of momentum'. Anything less than a win will see pressure on Danny gain momentum. I trust Danny as most do, but am concerned because at the end of the day the league table tells a true story, we are not very good at present. I've seen it before, when you are top everything goes your way, when you are bottom, confidence is effected and strikers miss sitters like Charlie did on Sat. Am a wee bit nervous about Sat, where last season I knew we would give any team a run for their money.

Was it the one that bobbled up about 6 inches ashe went to strike it?
Anyway, I understand your point, a big game saturday, but if you believe that the table doesn't lie, and that 5 games in, pressure is building, then by the same token or thinking, you must admit that recent form has been much better than the 1st 3 games of the season?
For that reason I am very optimistic about this Saturday.

Austin and Ball or Austin and Pericard, with Dossevi tight in behind seems to be very logical to us, but not Wilson. I would still find room for Ferry though, with JD and J-PM, and four across the back. As you correctly point out we now need to sort out the scoring options, and without Pericard in there Austin will get kicked to pieces.

The biggest 'names' that haven't been given a squad place are Jonathan Woodgate and Danny Shittu. But I guess that one is injured while the other is looking for a permanent club. Maybe younger players (foreign 'home grown' or English) will get more chances at their clubs under the new rules. But the new rules seem to have stifled transfer activity in, and hence loan players out.
I don't see that we need 'cover' for Christmas. We need to kickstart our season now - and fast. I prefer signing our own players full time rather than loans, but you can only afford a certain size of payroll, and I'm unimpressed by some of our recent signings. We'll see.

I guess the Premier League new squad rules are not quite working as we might have hoped. I thought a few players might become available quickly after teams announced their 25-man squads. But this pointless 'home grown' rule means that it hasn't really affected many clubs. Arsenal have named a squad of just 20, not 25 players (none of them English) which is supplemented by 50 under-21 players!

That said he did so well at Hull and has the proven ability to get his teams promoted on a tight budget. Curbishley would have been my second choice. With NO disrespect I dont think Adkins has sufficient experience to take a team all the way to the Prem which is what they want.

I thought we had played 5 games not only had 5 to go!
.
So with the continuing doom and gloom I guess we didn't conceed a goal against the league favourites away and the league leaders away then?
.
We have put in two good perfromances so we should at least give the team a break - you never know we might have just turned the corner.
.
Plus with all the tinkerman comments -do we actually want new players as that means potentially more changes!

Yes we will remain faithful love child, no matter what you have been brain washed to say, beause cheap critisism is easy, constructive thought is beyond your comprehension.

In fairness, Danny can only get who is available and if targets he want aren't going to be made available for loan then there's not very much he can do. There are a few good frees like De Merit, Aliadiere etc. so hopefully Danny will be reinforcing the side before long.

a) Are they at all interested?

b) Can we afford them?
.
De Merit is in discussions to join Steve McLaren's Wolsfburg the former German Champions - so the likilhood of him be remotely interested in Swindon is as much as Swindon would be in signing me!

1 DW will be given a long time as you never achieve anything be chopping and changing all the time. Is it a coincidence that Man U are the most successful team and have the longest serving manager? No it's not!
.
Also the board have more realism than most posters. They will recognise how far we have come in such a short space of time. i.e. Delegation battle to Wembley in 12 months. They will also realise unlike most on here that only 5 games have gone and not left!
.
Saying that though they have targets and if we fail they will act. We must get 2 of the following 3: JPT final, FA 3rd round and or POs. We can still do those so DW will not be under any pressure.
.
2 Yes despite what most posters say about AF being tight. We have spent a lot on players like McNamee, Cox, Casal, Amankwaah, Cuthbert, Austin, Caddis and Ferry. Plus bigger wage bill to get players like Lucas, Douglas and Greer in.
.
3 Yes we do have the squad. It's is just that new teams need time to gel. Ours is showing signs and I now fully expect us to start to show our potential, pick up points and move towards the top.

The squad this time last year was no way the same as at Xmas or earlier this year - werenit.
Every month will see development of the squad and by January I betcha we see a diffrunt pictchur.
Consequently I am with those that say - give the team time to gel, be patient with the loan signings - better to have them once the current crop of new boys aqre settled and remember Obadeyi and Hutchinson!!

The poor end was due to fatigue as the players simply ran out of steam after a 50+ game season.
.
This has been addressed by having more competition - this year we have 2 in each position who could play where as last year we did not!
.
Plus gelling is occurring all over - i.e. Cuthburt has to gel with a new CB
.
the CB's then need to gel with new FB's
.
Ferry wasn't here so DP had to gel
.
O'Brien is basically new so needs to gel
.
Then we have Austin needing to gel with Vince or Dossevi.
.
Thiks take time but as Ferry said the team new look in players and formation is showing signs and it won't be long before we are flying again.
Oi Den!
