Could have done with a bit more cover though.

Sakamoto or Grimes get an injury....

Well whoever said it earlier, it really is the Woolf in Sheaf’s clothing. I can go to bed happy now. The one position we desperately needed.

This is what I don't understand.

He's a good signing, I don't doubt, but why string it out? Now it feels an anti-climax.

I mean, we've gained a stadium, so it seems a bit of a petty quibble, but feels it could have been done better.

That’s not really how it works…

We have 2 wingers (at the time of writing, at least).

Brau and bta can both play there. Infact they have. Wasn't long ago people were saying the spot was BTAs after derby and QPR.

Like I said not ideal but it's more than workable till xmass window and we have 352 if required also

If the right targets were snot there you wait till next window not just buy anyone

I like the Woolfenden signing.
I have no problem with any of the incomings.
I have no problem with any of the outgoings.
BUT
We have left ourselves light and there is no way the manager didn't want a couple more. It could have made a real difference and someone has dropped a bollock somewhere let's be honest.

We got the CBS which is the best news in decades honestly and I still expect a good season, but it hinges a lot on keeping players fit and injury free.

Given that the club spent a lot of time trying to recruit Hughes and failing. The communication tonight has been really poor. I wold liken it to buying a ticket to a "Winter Wonderland Theme Park" and finding a muddy field with a pissed up Santa sat smoking a spliff and smelling of piss.

The only concerning aspect is, well, we’re looking lighter.

We’re a few injuries away from threadbare, potentially.

So we are grateful that we actually managed to sign someone, rather than announce early then having us begging for a second signing.

Welcome Luke!

Happy for Raphael to go on loan too. Will follow his development

I'm assuming brau will be vice emc when needed. So we have 4 wingers in current squad.

It's not ideal but overall the clubs in best place since prem days so I'm happy

We have 2 wingers in the squad. Other options are makeshift from other positions.

Right, that’s that bollocks out the way, 20 games to go then the window opens again and we’ll sell a few more

Two months ago it seemed inconceivable that we'd still have all three of Rudoni, MVE and Wright when the window closed.
We've kept them all, brought in 4 new ones, offloaded a few fringe players and sold a crock for £6.5m.
Meanwhile we're 8 points from 4 games, scoring for fun and bought the CBS.

I'll take that.

Also if we were smart we'd just sign that Bodo CB and take him in Jan if we really wanted him. Hardly going to get cheaper playing in the Champions League is he.

If anyone apart from MVE or Kitch get an injury. We're fucked.
JDS = Bidwell
Thomas = Lati
Sheaf = Allen
Torp = Eccles
Rudi = ????
EMC = Brau
Saka = BTA
Wright = Simms

Thats a HUGE drop off in quality in EVERY position bar RB and LCB. We all just need to cross everything and hope to fuck we dont get more than 1 injury at a time. Swap out 1 player we could manage. 2 or 3 at once and were fucked.

What don't you get about not ideal?

We are thinking on numbers in certain positions

But it's not a nightmare scenario either right now
