Knowing our shortcomings ahead of this window and still having no one through the door especially with Sheaf out is hugely concerning.

Nothing to worry about, we ain't going up or down, so no panic.

It would be nice to see a couple of permanent signings, so we can get them settled ahead of a fresh start next season.
And new faces would make the run in a bit more interesting. And hopefully we'll see a bit more of Raphael, and see if he's good enough for next seasons squad

Personally think there is a very real chance of a relegation battle. Teams below all adding to their squads.

Pretty sure we won’t go down but we need a massive improvement, until EMC and wright are back expect to drop down a couple of places, just can’t see the next win

Nah. January is always quiet. We were never going to do a squad rebuild. Still expect a couple by the end of the window. Doug loves a last minute pay through the nose deal.

So we’ll have the palmer wages, the fee from lati and bta……I’m not being funny if we don’t manage to get a few in then it will be a joke!! We’ve clearly got money to spend on fees and wages once them outgoings happen

To be fair all the time Sheafs been here he's always had plenty of down time with his injuries, sell him to St Johns ambulance society ...they can have a ready made practice guy to work on

Nah Crooks is one of those players like BTA and Michael McIndoe. They look like world beaters when they play against us.

not so much against anyone else

Edwards maybe very promising but if we get a CB they need to be more experienced than him

Dobbin is a fast with not massive amounts of other abilities forward and we also have loads of forwards

So from his list i'd take none to be fair

If we don’t get any in till the end of the month,Doug can save on a couple of weeks wages.

If I was a betting man I would stick £20 on a couple of young loanees in the final week of the window. Been a quiet window in general

No, not worried at all. Nailed on lower to mid table this year. I’d rather take time to get the right ones in. Allen has been a bonus, Kitching and Dovin give us more solidity and then we’ll get Emc and Wright back in. A couple look like they’ll go and one or two in is fine

Think it’s clear stuff is going on behind the scenes with all the outgoings and even Thomas coming close.

Back on Saturday morning apparently. But then going on an Antarctic Exploratory Cruise (with submersible daytrips) through to about Feb 3rd. Heard he's also visiting ISS on Virgin Galactic during the summer months too.

We certainly need a couple in, but we'll obviously have new additions by the time the window closes. There's plenty of time left.

The club is doing the right thing by using this window to maximise the opportunity for player sales. It's a sellers market and moving out players like Tavares, BTA, Latibeadiere and potentially Collins would place us in a stronger footing for the summer to hit the ground running with making signings rather than having to wait for players to be moved on.

There's a about 3 times that amount! 10 teams have brought at least one player in so far.

The fact that we're still closer to the bottom of the table than the top, have a threadbare squad, haven't replaced O'Hare/Palmer and looks like a couple could be out of the door??
