Rare occasion where I'm relaxed about a lack of January business from us.
Not that I don't think we need to improve the squad any more - I absolutely still do. And even more so once Cedric leaves in the summer (and quite possibly Long too). But I accept that January isn't the optimum time to be doing business. Where possible, you want to leave it to the summer. A wider choice of players available, and at (slightly) more realistic prices.
Once you throw in a few draws, we might only need to win two more matches in order to survive. Three would seem top-end. So to be that close to safety, we're not in a desperate position to improve the squad urgently. And OK, yes, you could say that we instead have an opportunity to get Europe league football (and hence lets use this window to help with that), realistically I think it's a little too early to be thinking about that - and the likelihood of it happening is slim, I would suggest.
A safe stress-free second half of the season is most likely on the cards for us now. So unless a really good opportunity pops up this month, I'm happy to keep our money in our pocket. Just as long as we do actually then buy in the summer!
