Maybe the manager has no idea what type of defender Moore is just like he had no idea what type of striker Surridge was. Or maybe some signings just don’t work out🤔It’s a good job Clough wasn’t judged on some of his at Forest or Fergie at Utd

As Homzy says, Moore seems a bit of a stopper-type. So probably not one to play anywhere but the middle of the three? To be fair, we still do need cover there. Perhaps MON has seen that Chester can't do it anymore and wouldn't trust Fox as a central defender in a 2. If Jagielka got injured (would not be shocking), we would have THB and Wilmot and that's about it for a flat back four. Seems like this deal has more to do with Ince to be honest. I imagine they'll be paying more wages for the next 6 months than we will.

So you thought we would get play-offs at the start of the season?. Deluded Yes. He has to be sacked if it doesn't happen. Its harsh! Given the powell and soutter injuries have hampered our progress im not sure we had a squad better than 8 teams in this league. People moan about most of our players being shit.... but then state we should be in the play-offs. Anywhere round 8th is a fair assumption of this squad.

Maybe we’ll play Moore and Jags in a back 4?

How many midfielders and strikers have we got to chose from? Most other clubs would kill for the resources we have. He's done a good job in stabilising to club but the next 4 months really are crucial.

Who says the January transfer window is a dead duck with not much movement. This could be the most business we have ever done even if it is only loans.

Don't worry, it's all hot air with zero result, typical Stoke deadline day, so close yet didn't quite get the deals over the line.

Seems very sideways to be replacing one average player with another. Would have thought we’d be able to back ourselves to get someone better in on a free/ loan in the summer?! If it's a loan swap then wouldn't it free us up to do exactly that in the summer? If it’s just a loan to the end of the season with no obligation to sign that’s a lot more palatable. Hopefully it’s just that.

Tried it once - never again. The melted chocolate became a real issue for the missus when I tried to smuggle my pants into the washing machine unnoticed. Have you tried hamsters?

I watched him with interest when he played for Reading because I was sat in the upper tier and genuinely thought he was Ashley Williams. He played very well, which is really what made it clear that he was somebody else.

Can't say I know anything about him, sounds though like we've replaced Danny batth with ... Danny Batth, atm If you know nowt about him, why comment? Commenting on comments and if they're accurate that's the gist I get, why not comment, the concept of the board is comment based

Presuming Moore is on less wages than Ince i can see why we are pursueing this
Good cover for Jags if nothing else

We've basically swapped Danny Batth with another Danny Batth on similar wages..

I think if this deal comes off, then what might have been an okay window got worse. I think we are probably weaker without Ince and with Moore.

Whats wrong with Forrester?
Surely with nothing to play for between now and the end of the season it would have been great to bed him in for next season?

Ince has given us very little is lightweight and for the most part anonymous. He has been robbing us for as long as we have had him. His time was up a long time ago.

I wouldn't disagree but in the last 6 months of his contract when he has hit some form we swap him for Danny Baath, bonkers.
