So we've kept our 3 best players, bought the stadium, sold binks and replaced him with a championship winning captain with Premier league experience, bought a "back up" rb who was prestons player of the season and strengthened at left back. All in all, with all considered, this is the best transfer window I can remember and I defy anyone to think of a better one

As long as there's no injuries or suspensions throughout the season, we're sound.

So you're upset we don't have 3 players per position? Give over. Nobody in the league can afford to have 2 left wingers injured.

I like who we’ve bought in.. all good deals too

But to sell Sheaf this late with no replacement is bizarre to say the least

In peace:

KKH and Brau seem to be players who can cover both forward and attacking roles. Both can play wing or wing back and full back.

JDS, at a push can play wing if Bidwell plays back.

So, we’ve got in two players who can cover a number of squad positions.

I do think we are a squad player short at CF now though.

Plenty can't consistently play to the level expected of a team aiming for promotion to the Premier League. Of the backups we have Lati, Eccles, Allen, Andrews, Asante, Brau, Bidwell and Perry.

Arguably we're ok if GK, RB or one CB gets injured (assuming 'Woolfy' is actually half decent).

1 or 2 suspensions or injuries we'll be alright. 3 or 4 we've gotta be a little worried. 5 or 6 and we're dropping points left, right and centre.

It’s a fine window if your greatest hope for the season is that we might finish 5th again.

It’s a shit window if you had any hopes of us doing any better.

Could all turn out to be fine in the end but I imagine we’ll be apart of that 6-8 team scramble for the last two play-off places again as opposed to one of the teams above it.
