    Happy enough. Not happy with the numbers, I still think injury and fatigue will cost us the points needed to mount that sort of challange. But hat's off to the Bain

    Bain and Grayson have done a fantastic job given the circumstances.

    Defence weak.

    Midfield good.

    Forwards unsure.

    Mixed bag for me.

    I think if we keep Grabban for we can push for play-offs.

    In truth we've done some great business, we just need a couple home wins really get the crowd back, but Ruiter, Wilson, Mcmanaman would have been good signings for fees, we kept N'Dong which is major.

    It's not all bad, last time I mention McCormack but had we got him it'd have been a genuinely superb window given the restraints, it's still a very good one without him.

    We can still sign free agents and I believe the little leagues have an extra window for loans.

    The defence is the strongest its been for years. Kone and Wilson would walk into quite a few Premiership teams . Browning will keep getting better aswell.

    Kone is a ****. O'Shea is a dinosaur

    Lb ok. Rb is scary.

    Yes no denying hes a kunt like. I expect him to perform now he knows where hes gona be for the next few months.
    Rightback is abit shyte but no worse than most other teams in this league.
    Oviedo will be pretty good at this level i think.

    The start of the club trying to stabilise; off loaded lazy money grabbers, replaced with young hungry players. Hopefully by January be in a comfortable league position. A few more clever signings .. Happy days..

    A satisfactory window all things considered my worry is reading peoples,thoughts on how,effective young Watmore will be is heaping a lot of pressure on a,young lad returning from a very serious injury, just hope fans give him a chance to settle in when he's ready.

    Just read in the Echo that we've signed a total of ten players, 5 loan deals and 5 bought with a total spend of £1m, **** me!!! is that what we have been reduced to? the club must be in a right financial mess FFS.

    So shocked you double posted!

    Looking at it another way, we've done some good business for **** all and we've paid off a bit of Short debt which will help him sell the club off quicker.

    Gotta be pleased about that mate!
