With League 2 looming, we desperatley need some players in to be in with any chance of surviving.

Where are these players? It's all gone a bit quiet hasn't it...

Is starting to feel like there "were hoping to get something done early next week" that Mowbray used to spout,

Followed up a week after by "missed out on targets, but only just"

with the addition of the experienced defenders we look like a pretty reasonable outfit apart from having no goal scorer, maybe we're waiting to sell Stevenson before making a bid for someone

I fear we can't bring more in until we sell, hence the trialists being extended. It's starting to look like a last minute sale on deadline day again.

It will probably go to deadline day once the Stevenson deal goes through. All up to Marseille...

We need a tough midfielder, a winger (that actually has some end product), and I would say at least two strikers.

I know it's on another thread, but surely TF can release some extra now he knows it's a home draw in the Cup (guaranteed income)

Paul caddis just been released by Birmingham city today, generally a right back but is really versatile... can easily play the right wing role and has a delivery to put most to shame in this league.

Slade said he is hopeful of adding another striker before the window shuts.

If we get one please let him not be Checkatrade cuptied!!

Best chance of a trophy in an age and we only have Beavon, Tudgay and George Thomas and that is it!

And in defence at CB we only have Harries, Turnbull, Willis and maybe Stokes and that is it.

Any injuries to those players and we are in big trouble.

Rawson, Foley, Clarke and Vernam are all cuptied.

Think we need to put Beavon in an oxygen tent every post game.

Fair point.

You can easily underestimate to be on the safe side too.

You can understand it if he's anything like he is here, at home.

I agree with Earlsdon....you do worry that if Stevenson is sold at the last minute, we won't have time to use whatever money is available from that to make the signings we need.

We also must worry that Mark Venus is still the one doing the recruitment......

The recruitment has been shit for years. Possibly due to a non existent scouting system.

From what I have seen of the new signings they are average L1 players, Beavon looks best
buy. But are the players coming in going to be good enough to get us up the table ?

A guy who can put the ball in the net will certainly help.

Praying Vernam can do an Armstrong for us.

Still a few days...
The 2017 winter transfer window, which opened on January 1, will close on Tuesday, January 31 at 11pm.
However, clubs can complete transfers after 11pm if they have submitted a 'deal sheet', asking for more time to file the complete paperwork.
This can extend their deadline until 1am in some circumstances.

But then you get your bottom of the chain targets, and finish bottom.

Vernam is very highly rated, yes he is only 20 with not much first team experience, but he knows where the back of the net is. Dominic Samuel was about the same age and had similar experience when he came here so lets hope.

Yeah, but we've lost Sordell, Wright, Agyei etc (ok the last two don't really count as footballers), but the numbers are down.

That's why Slade says he is looking for another striker.
