On Friday evening it was announced that Jay Matete would be moving on loan to Plymouth in a bid for more game time, after the Shrewsbury game Tony Mowbray spoke about the transfer window and where we need to strengthen.
JAY MATETE
"Jay was going to play today, he did the game prep but this deal came along and I've been telling him for a while that I think he should go and get 15 or 20 games consecutively. He shouldn't stay here if it's going to be a substitute appearances every so often. Plymouth are a team right up at the top end of League One, if he goes there and plays he'll be much closer to being ready to play in our team and compete to play in our team. When the deal came in I said I felt it was a good one for him, and we took him out the team. It's a good move for him and hopefully he does really well, helps them get promotion and then comes back a much more confident and ready footballer.”
INCOMINGS
"We do need a central midfielder I think, just to bring that competition. It's a position we're looking at but I'm not sure how well on we are on with it right now. We need a centre-forward as well of course, there's a few things going on behind the scenes. My job is to coach the team but I do give my opinion and mine is that we need a midfielder.”
COMPETITION
"We need competition at the top end of the pitch as well so that we don't have situations like today where we've got two midfielders playing as false nines - we want the young guys getting chances in the positions they play."
DAJAKU
"Leon was going to start down the middle but got injured in the build up to the game, that was frustrating for him and for us."
