    Three or four of this window's signings came in without much news leaking beforehand or at least only a few hours before.

    So I still expect/hope some more players will be coming in.

    What's JFH up to?

    Will Collins come?

    Has Jones suggested a name or two?

    Is there a prem league kid waiting to be the next JRS or Gallagher?


    Presume you mean JCH?
    No, JFH is coming out of retirement. He's got unfinished business like Bonne
    No, last I heard they couldn’t find a pair of shorts big enough for him.

    Speaking of NL what happens to the Bromley lad, did he get a champ move?

    Signed for Brentford and loaned back to Bromley for the rest of the season.

    Irony is that he was released by us three years ago at 16 after being with our academy for seven years.

     I just hope we have enough quality to avoid relegation.  I’m not sure we do at the moment.  It could be skin of our teeth type stuff 
    Relegation not an issue

    Yeah he’d of been sold off by now anyway or injured. Shame as I’ve heard he is a good player. 
  • Hopefully the money we have been offering around for JCH & Collins which surely has been boosted by flogging CBT early will get spent today. 

    Would give the entire club a lift if we bring in a last minute promotion quality signing on a permanent.

    Having loaned out Fraser we must be getting an attacking midfielder in (would be idiotic not to), who will be one of the elite 8 as we already have academy and bob average L1 covered.  
    Dubai is rarely wrong and said we were after a CB yesterday - as I mentioned at the time the same must apply to them, so another elite 8 there.
    Today is set up to be a very exciting day.
    We have the £800K in our pockets from JCH, the £700K from Collins and the £300K from CBT sale. Almost £2M for a L1 club will make a massive difference.
    Plus those elite 8's main consideration of club is the money and location so our lack of manager and closeness to relegation isn't an issue really.

    Hey mate you live in cloud cuckoo land if you believe we've got £2m to spend.

    I mean we obviously have enough quality, the only question is whether it can be adequately wrangled 
    As it stands, we need 19 pts minimum from 17 games.  We currently have 29pts from 31 games.  It will be extremely tight.  We have a tough run of games now that could potentially see us winless going on 3 months.  

    At some point you do have to question if we have the quality.  We have no idea if the moves we’ve made in the Jan window will be enough.  We should do it.  I look at Coventry, May, Dobson, Ladapo once he gets up to match fitness, they’re 4 decent players, certainly at this level.  We hope Gillesphrey makes a difference and the Huddersfield chap.  I would say the wrangling of it all is a factor, but we’ve still got to see if they’ve really got what it takes 
    We have 31 points from 29 games.
    My mistake.  
    Don't be so hard on yourself, there's been 17 years of mismanagement as well.

    Chris Conn-Clarke is currently playing for Altrincham in Nayional League and has 15 goals - mostly as an attacking midfielder.
    He's 22 and was previously with Fleetwood and Waterford in Ireland (same owner).
    He's caught the eye this season for sure and is highly likely to be moving up the pyramid in the summer
    I'm not saying we are in for him but he is certainly someone worthy of a second look

    Collins to Bolton is done apparently - so wonder who we are getting instead? It would be criminal to have no creative 10 signed, now that Fraser has gone - the whole 3-5-2 working hinges on this, in my opinion 
  • Woke up this morning thinking it was deadline day yesterday so I’ve already been disappointed once with our lack of signings. The only way is up.

    I feel like the Collins transfer is the same situation as that first summer window under Sandgaard, aiming far too high for our current position and then inevitably losing out on our target to a more attractive option and being left with nothing or scrambling in the bargain bin

    Didn’t Rodwell say something like it’s not worth getting out of bed till lunchtime on deadline day?

    The complete lack of rumours is quite exciting. Until of course we sign no one :D

    Average number of signings in L1 is about 2.7, with 7 new faces (6 outfield) I don't think we can complain too much.

    That being said, I'd like two more.

    My post was not a serious one. 

    We did get £300K for CBT; we were rumoured to have bid £550K for Collins; in theory therefore we should have £850K to spend. We won't.

    It has all the markings of another window where the "marquee names" were thrown out there as click bait and we wasted time chasing players whom were never going to join (JCH, Collins etc) but ended up with some journeymen and Coventry; whilst selling one of our best and most effective players.

    A bit part Huddersfield player and a 2nd choice L2 keeper is a million miles from "doing an Ipswich" that Elliot was talking about.

    A few hours to go. I would like a Wing Back and creative midfielder; I would settle for keeping Dobson

    Disappointing about Collins. Can't remember the last time we had some creative quality like that.

    I’d like to see us go in with a last day grab for Harvey Knibbs - predominantly a winger but can play in the 9 or 10. Going cheap one would assume. Was a fan when he was at Cambridge.
