Or that Heywood is going to be fit again soon enough for it to be a waste of money extending Partridge's loan? I would argue that any money which kept Heywood out of the team is money well spent, but life's all about differences of opinion, isn't it.
 

The David Partridge thread

I tried to push Fitz on this after Saturday's match, you can read the transcipt by The Joker.

He was as clear as mud but seemed to be indicating with out injuries, and O'Connor and Heywood are not expected back soon I believe, we would need someone else.

The window opens on Thursday and we currently have Griffiths, Charles and Mousinho as back up defenders :eek:

Finances could mean their refusal to cough up for his 3 match absence
 

The David Partridge thread

kev said he would be fit this week maybe thats sumthing to do with it

"finances"... we can't afford to pay someone to be suspended, let alone his fines!
 

The David Partridge thread

Choices seem to be extending Partridge's loan, extending Wilson's loan, or borrowing AN Other - perhaps we can afford none, 1 or 2 of those. Unless we can afford all 3, I wouldn't argue against releasing Partridge (though he was OK the one time I saw him). In defence, Fitz possibly thinks we have the back 4 from last Sat, plus Griffiths on the bench and Charles in reserve, Kev near a return (?), Heywood to return some time and Mousinho as possible cover, so keeping Partridge may be less important than someone extra elsewhere (CM? Even with Leary and Mousinho doing OK, we have no proper cover)

I don't think Wilson will be extended - he was brought in as Osbourne and O'Connor were both injured. I reckon Partridge will be replaced though as we will be very light at centre back if not. Heywood's not going to be returning anytime soon.

I'm glad he's gone, but it leaves us very short of any cover in defence.

............I see that BFC are really taking this 'communication' lark to heart; you don't get one for ages, then three arrive together...........

The David Partridge thread

So the fellow who played for us after doing time for headbutting a bouncer, now leaves us after having been suspended for attempting to headbutt someone............not sure what sort of reference you would give him, maybe something along the lines of: good header, butt (sic) criminal waste of our money!

Or we've got someone lined up to join Thursday. I know we got close last week.

Yes i believe this is true a Brentford Fan from me work from an unknown source Told me that we have signed a reserve chelski centre back to be announced on thursday. Dunno if this is a 100% correct as of yet.

I'd be surprised tbh - Fitz is looking for experience, which is clear from his signings so far. As Chelsea would insist on any loan player being in the first team, that would be a huge risk for a centre back.

Three games of pure woe.Abysmal,many thanks John Griffin with your Bristol connections :nono:

Although their kid at QPR is supposed to be the only decent thing in their team.

So are we likely to bring someone in tomorrow or is Fitz happy with what we've got now? Or have the board finally pulled the plug on any more spending?

I don't know about tomorrow but I'd be surprised if the club wasn't still looking.

We managed last week comfortably without Partridge, Heywood, Griffiths and O'Connor starting so I doubt there's a panic on although obviously there's no need for complacency.

If O'Connor is back soon, given that we already have Charles as back up, I would agree there isn't a panic.

But, Tillen and Osborne have been very inconsistant during their time in the first team, Wilson might not be here for long and Griffiths has been left out because he wasn't good enough.
We should be looking.

I think cover for midfield is more of a priority to be honest

We don't need cover, we need players who will play in the first team. Defence looks like the immediate priority to me.

I agree. But it is also a big bonus how good Tillen has looked after such a long time out of the team. I've been impressed since he returned. Let's hope he can keep it up and show some of the form he did last season.

Osborne has also looked better in the middle than at RB I think. Isn't this his 'true' position? It's still a risk playing such an inexperienced pair of CBs but so far so good...

Last week the way Osborne and Tillen stepped up was brilliant.

However it is not incocievable to imagine either, or both of them, having a run of games where they are continually shocking, we've seen it before.

As I said, no panic but if we can get a centre back for the right money we should get him.
