May well add the pace we lack in defence with Logan injured and O'Connor and Woodman being less willing to get forward. Has senior international experience, always a good sign in one so young. Good loan signing.
Now for those forwards, Uwe...

As long as he's better than Niall...

Maybe not the position I was hoping for (think we're quite set for defenders) but is regardless a good addition to the squad. Now we just need to know how long he's here for.

Watford fans seem to think he should be starting games with them and are dissapointed to see him going out on loan to another club. Several suggesting he is their best option at right-back.

Mind you, this could also be a sign that Uwe doesnt muck about. Maybe he recognises that, club stalwart though he is, KOC doesnt indeed offer what Logan can in attack, and wants somebody more capable of that sort of role.

Logan must be quite a way off coming back then ?

Must be because I can't see Thompson getting a game at CB at the moment

I like the sound of this signing, it shows that Uwe isn't happy to simply 'get by' with Kev while Logan is out. I know Kev can fill in but in my opinion we are a weaker team with him there both defensively and offensively and the fact we have brought someone in to try and continue playing the kind of football we want to encourages me.
Hopefully Logan will come back without any lasting damage.
Striker next please!

Yes... ex-Watford manager Malky Mackay...

He was Watford manager last year and gave Thompson his debut so I would suggest he knows more about him than most others.

Adam Thompson used to go my school, and when i was in sixth form i helped teach him after school because of how much sport he did during school hours.
He's a nice guy and i think he'll do well for us, if he's involved. He came on against us in the Brentford vs Watford pre-season game.

Welcome aboard Adam.
As he has been called up for U21 games next month how many of our matches will he miss?

I guess this means Logan is out for a while as I cannot see him playing in the centre of defence.
Another international in the ranks. I think we need 3 to be called up to be able to postpone our games.

I pleased Uwe has recognised how important it is to have attacking fullbacks, and if Logan is out for a few more weeks we'll need decent cover. If the loan is extended we may well see Logan on the left and Tommo on the right ?
Adam Thompson from Watford and NI International Joins on Loan.
Just spoke to a Watford ST Holder....
Believes Thompson has the potential to be a v good player, easy on the bal, quite pacy and likes to get forward. Obviously quite raw, but will do well for the experience. M Malcay did rate him, is defo one for the future and has already played around 8/9 Championship games.

whats the point of having a squad if you get a loanee in the minute someone gets injured? Not inspired by this signing at all

Who else is he going to play at right back? Having both O'Connor AND Woodman playing the full back roles severely weaken the team going forward. And Spillane is clearly all but gone anyway.

I can only assume Logan is out for longer than expected and possibly Spillane is on his way out (pref on loan, as he's only 22). Having said that, I'd rather we stick with O'Connor at right-back for the moment - we just won 5-0, the team doesn't need changing!

Might be able to get away with it against the likes of Orient at home but when we're under the cosh away from home, we need pace and attacking threat from our full backs and O'Connor and Woodman do not offer that. Clearly Uwe would agree.

I'm pretty pleased that you're not managing the team. KOC (who I have great respect for) doesn't give the team what Logan does. We know that Rosler likes his full backs to attack. Therefore, a replacement is deemed neccessary as the existing squad does not have a good enough attacking replacement. This decision probably tells us where Spillane fits in to the manager's plans.
Seems very good proactive management to me.

But KOC/CW never venture out of their own half. And they're so ****ing slow.
Agree with this.

Logans only played a couple of games and hes already the messiah, defenders defend and if the wingers were any cop we wouldnt be worrying about the full backs having to do their job

Disagree. The game has moved on. Good full backs get forward and support attacks. Look how well Dickson and Weston used to link up, our left flank was formidable. Now Weston has no one supporting and overlapping from behind, his game has suffered for it (that and a total lack of consistency).
When we're talking about KOC and CW, we're not talking about old pro's who make up for their lack of pace with their immense reading of the game. They are average League One standard players with no pace and that worries me. An example I use to the MacDonald/Alexander fanboys is would they get in any of the three promoted clubs starting elevens last season? The same applies here and the answer is no. We need better and Uwe knows that, hence the signings of Logan and Thompson and hopefully we'll see another left-back before the end of the month.

I reckon the messiah is only used when someone has used clear and concise reasoning as to why they think their argument works and the opponent is left dumbfounded. If you say Dickson is better than Woodman, suddenly Dickson is the messiah as he obviously is better, so I know let's attack the bloke who speaks the truth. KOC and Woodman are normally static bystanders when we attack, Logan, Dickson and hopefully this kid aren't messiahs but let's hope they are better than than the half line hoggers.

Yes Logan has only played a couple of games but most on here already know he is miles ahead of anyone who played RB last season. Proactive management has tried to ensure we don't fall into the same holes as last season. I would have thought you would have wanted better after last season....
Adam Thompson from Watford and NI International Joins on Loan.
Well sounds like we have got a decent player on loan if Watford folk believe hes their best option at RB.
Can only see this as cover for Logan while Kevin may be in midfield if Uwe wants to rest Reeves!
