Now these need sorting.

We are missing this lad badly. He would have got into positions Gueye was demanding Weimann to have been in but Andy no longer quite has it toake the speculative runs Yuki makes.

I really like this guy approach to the game . Demands a lot of himself and others around him. And he can play a bit too.

Looks quick from last night's cameo. Wolves have seriously quick players so let's see how he measures up on Sunday.

Can understand why Dennis was last minute but Kargbo should have been at Ewood 2nd January if not last summer.

I think only Prenton Park has a pitch as bad as that in all.the football league. That said, fair play to Qpr. They were the better side and Rovers turned up. Very rarely that has happened this season. Kargbo looks very promising and should have come on 20 minutes earlier. That run through the mud past 4 players at the end is hopefully a sign of things to come. Great Dolan penalty but what a dumb foul that led to their opener. Not ideal but two players off places up for grabs and I would rather be in our place than the other 9 in the pack

Likelihood is Kargbo and Ribeiro get a Wolves start so they will have to have shown extremely well in training to be starting at Loftus Road. Despite the injury situation only slightly abating, QPR management will be guessing about our starting line up as much as we are. Do or die game for Buckley who has been improving with game time but needs a big performance to give JE pause before putting Tronstad straight back in later this month. Whether they are on the field, the bench or behind it, the new signings should be concentrating minds of every player getting the nod tonight.

Forgot Weimann! Eustace asked for bodies, he got bodies. Remains to be seen how much breath there is in them.

I would omit Forshaw from the registered 25. Harsh but that's life. No way is he better than Sigurdsson. Ohashi, Gueye, Dolan, Hedges, Leonard, Cantwell, Sigurdsson, Woodrow, Kargbo, Dennis with JRC, Beck and Buckley as options and Tyjon and Gilsenan when fit. 16 players vying for the forward 3 plus 1. Can't complain about a lack of bodies. Whether there are many goals there is another question.

This window is very bad news for teenagers sitting on the bench. Difficult to make any other judgement but I hope Kargbo and Dennis fitness levels are where they need to be and the increased competition for places works effectively. JE has generally been very good deploying subs. That aspect of his decision making has just got more challenging. The Wolves line up is going to be interesting...

I am an idiot. I got quite positive about Dennis joining. Despite posting sarcastic comments about another deadline being missed, I couldn't really believe we'd cock up the deadline a 4th time. But with Rovers, Swag can always go below the lowest of low expectations..

LT going extremely local reporting signings by Portsmouth and Plymouth. Meanwhile Vale has signed for QPR (no not our Vale).

There is something called a "cock up" which prolongs the agony to next week

Easy solution to the registration problem. Both the Woodrow and Dennis registrations won't be filed on time...

6 bodies in if the fax machine works. Remains to be seen if any are alive..

So is Dennis for real?

Let me get this straight- 2 players who can't get in injury hit teams in the relegation places, a player who can't get into a league 1 side and Augustus Kargbo who just might be a shrewd signing. I am overwhelmed by positive vibes and excitement.

Please tell me if I am supposed to believe PL promotion is more likely now? Is this a strengthening or a cruel joke?

Who is Woodrow?

In the BBC interview, when asked if he is confident the two deals will be done today, JE looks down to the right before saying yes. Complete tell of self-doubt in his answer.

I have watched a bit of Markanday at both Chesterfield and Orient. He looks a lot more confident on the ball and has developed a better sense of where to be on the pitch. The good news is he has started at Orient every bit a class above his team mates and opponents as he was consistently at Chesterfield. I think those writing him off as future Championship material are premature. What little I saw of Garrett on loan was relatively disappointing but Batty looks to be good compared with his current League 2 level.

Whatever side we put out, there is about 1 in 6 chance we will play abysmally based on games to date. More likely we will play remarkably well given the circumstances but it will be a toss up whether we lose to a mistake at the back or win through eventually converting a chance. Of course it could be that extreme rarity, a draw. QPR on a bit of role themselves so chances are it will be a good game. As always Chair is the danger.

I will refrain from posting until we have our annual oops missed the deadline farce.

There is one absolute certainty. We will miss a deadline with a screw up.

Extremely noticeable that John is fluent throughout the interview except when asked about transfers when his every second utterance is um. So is he choosing words carefully because A - he is covering the reality that SWAG and Suhail have got nothing and/or B - he is checking himself to avoid letting something slip When asked about Kargbo the answer was " he is somebody the club likes". Not "we like" or "I like"...
