No, young promising players!

Would you see this as a downgrade from when we used to rely on ex-Bristol Rovers players?
I mentioned us signing him in the summer Rumours thread so am pleased with this signing. Looks very strong and athletic and comfortable on the ball (converted from a midfielder I believe) so could easily step in for DD or Priestly.
However I am Struggling to understand the thinking here. We seem well stocked at centre back compared to other areas that need strengthening and taking him on loan surely prevents other players developing.
If we were giving promotion a really good go it would make some sense, but we are surely too far behind the top 3 and the play offs are too much of a lottery for this to be the target and even if we somehow did go up weād then lose him for next season.
So like I say, canāt see the strategic thinking behind this one.

Weāve always signed young players with limited league experience on loan from teams above us in the football league pyramid.
I mean, itās the nature of our predicament. No need for the victim complex on behalf of Trivela.
Maybe heās literally been signed to fill in for McEntee, i.e. in midfield

Literally no idea if heās any good
Wish him all the best though.
Williams is out for several weeks, McEntee out for several monthsā¦leaves us only with the current 3 plus Meneyese. Not sure I agree about the play offs either. We have a good chance if we replace Draper when he goes.

A back line of Okagbue, Farquharson, and Adegboyega is going to be a right mouthfulā¦I mean handful for opposition attackers

What is it you donāt agree about the playoffs?
You indicated the play off were not currently a target. I think they are if we manage to replace Draper with a decent forward.
Seeming as weāve gone back to a three, with McEntee out for the season, Williams having a few knocks in the last couple of months and Meneyese doesnāt seem to be ready to play yet.
So another centre half isnāt the worst we could do, rather bring in another one of those than play Taylor Allen there

Ok, but do you accept if we target the play offs this season that might be at the cost of preparing for automatic promotion next season?
And if we did succeed in the playoffs weād be one of the weaker teams in league 1 and perhaps face a relegation battle?
I accept there are different views and maybe Iām being too negative, but Iād like to see the likes of Foulkes and Maher given more opportunity rather than get loans in to push for the play offs.
All the best Manny
Well I think we should try for the play offs but accept we are outsiders at the minute. The next 6 league games will tell us a lot. Stockport awayā¦very tough followed by several winnable home games and Gillingham away. If we come out of that spell with a good haul of points we will be very close.
If we got into the play offs and won them we would need strengthening for next season although we would have terrific momentum.
If we fail I donāt think it will have an effect on next season as I presume further good players will arrive in the Summer to join an already strongish squad . We are not far away!

Why the f*** would that be the case
Got to be the earliest example of getting your excuses in Iāve ever seen. Teams turnover in this division every summer. Literally has no bearing whatsoever.

Dumbest thing Iāve read on here for a while

Looks like a fabulous signing, well done to all concerned for getting it over the line. I hope if he does well there is a possibility of making this move permanently in the summer.
