Raphael and Andrews have looked decent backup to me as are Bidwell and Allen. We can't have a squad of starters otherwise players will get pissed off we need a mix of up and coming and solid but not pulling up trees on the bench. You are making out it's a catastrophe and frankly it's boring. Add on to the fact our starting lineup now has a lot more experience and we have cover at right back so we don't have to run MVE in to the ground again.

As long as players are signed before 7 doesnt mean they’ll be announced before 7. I hope

Neither is Andrews. Looks easy on the eye but he's not become a genuine threat yet

It will still be in the same place it was if it hasn't been spent.

Raphael will come good! Needs more minutes to build his confidence, there is a good player in him. Bookmark this is will take the shit later in the season

Perspective important. Doesn’t mean you can’t be frustrated at how thin we look, but it should temper it.
We have a ground. We have kept hold of players I think not many of us thought we would.
It’s not a 10/10 but the big picture is it’s a better window than most we have (or have had since 2005).

Why is everyone saying we have signed Wolfendon? It's not over the line yet

Tbh since we had that argument it seems like your one of the only ones on here that can see this transfer window has been an utter embarrassment. It’s fine though because if dare say it’s been shit the label betwetter makes them look cool

Where's the first signing though. No confirmation on Woolfenden yet, is there?

Decent back up for a game or 2 at most. None of them are banging down Frank's door at Ryton giving him a selection headache. Our starting 11 picks itself. Outside of that we've a few fringe players that can fill in for the odd cameo here and there. If theyre all so good, why did nobody bar Saka on 86th min come on v Oxford when we were out on our arse and every player was blowing?

He must have improved a lot on where he was this time last year. The players have all accepted him that much is clear so he has respect in the dressing room.

To be fair they are our 4th and 5th choices

Raphael and Andrews should go out on loan, neither are anywhere near championship level as it stands.

What’s with all this “back up” chat? There’s no such thing as “back ups” in a 46 game season. You need a squad to compete. Unless you’re hoping that the 11 from Saturday start every game until next summer.

That fills me with confidence ..Not
I think it's a bit disingenuous to call Sheaf a backup midfielder.
He's played 30+ games for the last 4 seasons and yes he started the first game of the season on the bench but he would still get a lot of starts this season.
I'm a big Eccles fan and no problem with him stepping up, but we're pretty light there now.

I know but even so.
Is he related to Katie?

Sheaf is better than a backup. I don't mind selling Sheaf if it helps us improve or do something different. We're not doing that.
