I wouldn't want to be in Oxfords position, but I would prefer the window they are having, especially if they do manage to sign Savage & McDonnell.
Pompey also signing Ebou Adams. These are decent signings from our relegation rivals.
Our midfield needs addressing this window, it's bloody hopeless. Might be the worst in the whole league.Worse midfield in the league is just panic talk because Oxford and pompey have brought in new players.

I don’t massively disagree with your verdict on our midfield vs the league (wouldn’t say we are the worst but probably near there). But these stats mean absolutely nothing to show how good our midfield is. Those stats just reflect our style of play, we play more direct so of course have less possession and less accurate passesBraziliance said:

Nathan Jones finished 6th with Luton and they were 23rd for possession and accurate passes per game that season. It means nothing18 -
You're now just critiquing Jones' tactics. It's clearly an instructions for all of our defenders to pump it long, we could bring in prime Andrea Pirlo, that isn't going to move us out of that percentileBraziliance said:

We have one of the worst squads in the league because we have one of the lowest budgets in the league. So naturally we do have one of the worst midfields in the league. The defence is probably the only thing that’s championship level and even then they are all injured half the time
The midfield are better than other teams at some things though. I’d imagine our midfield’s distance covered per game is right up there at the top of the championship, that’s going to be more important to Nathan Jones than possession and number of passes3 -
If by some miracle we did get Rak-Sakyi, it's take a big change of game plan, but a front 3 with Campbell and JRS either side would scare the shit out of defenders4
-
When I think that we could start with a midfield of Coventry, Docherty and Berry, the same we had in League One, I die a little inside. That midfield didn't stand out at the level below. I remember praying at the end of last season that we would improve ourselves but we haven't by much. Surely not a single player in there that we can't look to improve on.Braziliance said:

if we win our game in hand we're a point behind southampton. who thinks they might go down?7

It’s not, but it doesn't matter who it’s against. You can’t just add an imaginary 3 points we haven’t won.EugenesAxe said:

Don’t get me wrong I think there’s a reason Hull let Docherty go (likewise Plymouth with Gillespie) as the Championship is, most of the time, a step too high for them to now stand out. Similarly Berry is coming to the end of his career at this level, although he retains a football nous that does come in handy on occasion. We have to realise that we are years behind the established Championship clubs, who are now dropping £5m a go on squad players.4 -

Well connected Southampton journalist effectively confirming Bree is returning there

Cant we? - I remember back in League One people would say that we'd be in a false League position when in the top six, because everyone down to 12th would have games in hand on usAberystwythAddick said:

So Clarke in for Bree and number wise we're no better off in defence.2

Cawley just retweeted it tooAFKABartram said:Well connected Southampton journalist effectively confirming Bree is returning there0 -

100% need a replacement in !AFKABartram said:Well connected Southampton journalist effectively confirming Bree is returning there2 -
If we could actually sign a solid LWB, then Apter could play RWB like he did at the start of the season so well...3
-
So a LWB to come in and either a RCB or RWB depending where Clarke plays we sign the other position. Imray just been recalled from Blackpool that could be a move Charlton fan as well1
-
Even though his form fell off this is not good news and a bit gutted for him because I think he really wanted to stay. I feel like NJ will sign him on a free during the summer if we stay up.AFKABartram said:Well connected Southampton journalist effectively confirming Bree is returning there1 -
Let’s get Danny Imray in then shall we, he’s a Charlton fan who is very good by the way. Definitely fits our system.4
-
So with Bree going back I think our best window would look like this:
Clarke and Dykes in already
LB/LWB - not sure where they come from but a loan that sees us over until summer where we the look at someone like Currie.RWB - Personally think we should go for Imray, was very good at Bromley and Blackpool. This should be quite high on the listLCB - preferably a replacement for Macca with a view to replace Bell. left footed cbs are a premium. Someone like Pye would be good
i personally think in the middle we’re okay just needs to work out what’s the best formation layout.Not sure we will get all that this window just a wish list2 -

Hopefully doesn’t get a minute so he can still be loaned out would be a suitable Bree replacement. Just hope we have a plan B fit if Bree hadn’t have signedfenaddick said:

I suspect it's a combo of Clarke being signed and being able to use Apter as @killerandflash saysCrispywood said:
