Well, the only player to public knowledge who we’ve been ‘blown out of the water’ for, was Marc Richards. We could’ve been hesitant to offer him an 18mth contract. Other players like Williams, Davies, some Barnet lad, maybe Newton at Stevenage, didn’t want to come to us for whatever reason.

16 if you want to include Pearson. 11 permanent signings (12 if JCH signs permanently), is certainly above average in the league. Most teams would be signing 10 including loans, we’ve only signed 4 loan players all year.

I’d be much more inclined to agree with you had Jones and Andreu got season ending injuries. Whilst it’s true every team has to deal with injuries, two ACL’s to key players before Xmas? That’s very unlucky, and both are midfielders with goals in them, and coincidently, an area we’re struggling...

We’ve signed 15 players, 11 on permanent contracts, and most of which experienced professionals in this league and/or the league above. The budget can’t be that small!

The only inexperienced players we signed players in the summer were Nazon, Biamou and Hyam. All of which, I believe were signed as players squad players. Then the two loanees in January are temporary replacements for injuries we have. Most of our signings have experienced promotion from L2...

Very arbitrary criteria. Who would you go for to replace him? All well good sacking him, but then you have to get the right man in.

This is hilarious, for all the wrong reasons. The OP has made a thread about a GK not saving a pen... shocker...

But Sisu are bad, very bad, so taking the transfer fees for our young starlets is part of a strategy to fleece the club... *eyes roll* We’ve signed 11 permanent players - all experienced pros at our level. 15 players in total. The club has clearly invested in the team. We still need a few more...

It’s a loan with a view to a permanent deal. I imagine the logistics of a deadline day signing has meant the deal is structured how it is.

You play too FIFA if you think 125k for a L2 loan is ‘pathetic’.

Please tell me about this bigger picture? I assume that was paraphrasing me? - Most teams fail to get out of this league at the first time of asking - we’ve done this all on one transfer window. - Most of our players are under contract barring Bayliss. There probably won’t be a lot of pressure...

Thomas left because his contract expired. The other two aforementioned players probably weren’t going to start, so 750k (if rumours are to be believed) for those two isn’t all that bad. Oh, and we’ve signed 15 players, with only 4 being loans, and JCH is with a view to a permanent.

You raise valid points, I have an optimistic outlook on things (I imagine from my posts, very obvious). We could be in a very distopian position come the start of next season, who knows? I say we have had attempted to make changes. We experimented with 3-4-3, we’ve now switched to 4-4-2 and...

It’s a bit of a moot point because we’ve built a squad for L2. Doyle being the epitome of that - great L2 player at this stage of his career. The question should be, is this team good enough to get out of L2? At full fitness, without a doubt. You’ve basically listed half the starting lineup...

I see why people are frustrated, I am too. Even with injuries, we should be doing better against the sides lower down the division. But, some Newport County poster did warn us that this was the nature of the league. The proof is in the pudding, not many teams bounce straight back up and I think...

For this season? We didn't need to sign permanent players in the positions we did. Jones and Andreu are still at the club, but are injured. So your options in replacing them are loans or free agents on short contracts. We nearly signed Craig Davies, who's on 11 goals in L1, and ended up with...

Well, the season isn't over yet and this could just be a wobble. We've put this team together over one summer, and with long-term injuries to key players like Jones and Andreu, I think he probably deserves the benefit of the doubt. He's also proving well at utilising our academy products...

That, or now that McNulty has more goals than both of them...

League 2 is a difficult league to get out of, ask many other ‘big’ clubs who’ve experienced it. We’ve put together this team in one transfer window as January was mainly replacing injuries to key players. We’ve had season-ending injuries to key players who are game changers and match winners. I...

It may well be unbalanced, but, I think you have to view it all in context. The squad we had was so bad last season, we had to overhaul it. I imagine our player turnover in comparison to the top 7 is way above average. We’ve put a good squad together over ONE transfer window. As for January, we...
