The guy at the game said the same on SkySports News. Surely a loanee would be decent for cover to our centre halves, especially as he's only 17.
Any thoughts on the 'England youth international' Villa had up front? He looked pretty handy too from what I saw of the game - had an involvement in 2, possibly 3 of the goals.
Glad to hear we had some solid performers tonight, particularly across the middle of the park. That elusive striker is still a bit of a concern as I'm not convinced we'll have enough even if we sign Suffo permanently. I also still think we must need someone to play wide on the right. Nicholls could be the answer eventually, but he's not the man to start the season there.
It sounds almost a bit of a shame to me that Palmer sounds like a decent player because the right back berth is one of the few positions I really don't think we need to strengthen. Makes you wonder why we took him on trial really.
