    Centre back was watching from the stands last night. Wasn't done but looked very likely. Be a shame if it didn't go through.

    Still time yet I guess. Things will be moving all the time. Deals will be close then parent club will have a signing fall through and it can go tits up.

    Let's see.

    That's just how it goes sometimes I guess. Didn't mean the post as a dig by the way. Were they young, experienced?

    Will you tell us who the player was if it doesn’t go through? Curious

    Always a little disappointed when DD goes without us signing anyone. But the way I see it, if the four last night were announced today we'd be in sheer ecstasy today. What difference does 24h make?

    Can see the want for a RB, CB, ST, GK, but we can only name 7 on the bench. Some previous first teamers will find it hard to get onto the bench let alone the XI. See if we can continue this decent run and save some dosh for January. Fine by me.

    Still time. The defender I thought would sign and a cover keeper.

    Disappointing if we don’t ad but we’ve got a good squad, good enough to be competitive

    Bride, and almost definitely the groom. Hopefully the person doing the service and an uncle that's a ****er but needs to be invited because Auntie Gloria, his wife is an absolute Saint but Uncle ****ers the total opposite but someone stayed wed for 48 years.

    Not signing anyone else for cover in defensive areas is borderline negligent. Can’t develop players if we are all over the place defensively and start going on a bad run.

    if O9, Batth and Cirkin are our first choice back 3 then we have Wright, Alese and potentially Winchester as cover until Ballard is back in a couple of months. gooch, clarke, hume and hopefully Huggins can provide the wing back positions. i think we’re in decent shape but we always want 1 or 2 more

    I don’t think the club are happy with the squad atm like, I think they’ve been let down by a last minute deal or two but trying the keep calm approach

    Desperate for a striker! We’ve got 2 and they both play 90 mins every game. A knock to one of them and we’re knackered

    would only say it was negligent if they hadn’t been trying

    think this Diallo is considered an option up front

    Diallo, and Bennette are cover.

    We’ve got cover for for every position, even if the cover isn’t a natural position. We should be okay, hopefully.

    I'm very relaxed about this to be honest though I really wanted an experienced back up keeper and someone to cover Evans
