The way I look at the situation is that DC must get the new players in to give him the option to play a different way. Before Christmas it was easy to see where new players would fit in however Sinclair in the last two hoime games has played out of his skin showing a willingness to go forward that was not seen before Xmas- he looks a class act. Ollie Clarke is getting better and Broadbent has settled in really well. We haven't even really seen what Mensah can do. At this time I would say another striker is more important than a centre half so would go for physical Centre forward, Central defensive midfielder and a winger or two. The important thing is that we cannot afford to forget what was a pretty shambolic first half of the season. Not sure we need to replace EH or RG, somebody to play alongside them would be my priority, although perhaps if we improved the supply to them then EH/RG/TN/DT might be good enough.

Positives from the window: Tom Lockyer - new contract Tom Broadbent - new contract Bernard Mensah signing 7 vital points from 3 games Negatives from the window: Bodin gone for far less than his worth Obviously it's a very big negative, but given that our squad is in a period of transition, and we're unlikely to spend big money, there are at least some good things happening at the moment. Mensah, though time might prove me to be wrong, reminds me of the Partington signing in that I have a feeling he might be used very sparingly to start with whilst he finds his feet at the club and the coaching staff work with him. If the results next season are like those for Partington this time around then we'll all be happy, but we mustn't expect too much too soon. What realistically would I like to see happen? One permanent signing who can in some way improve the spine of our team. Possibly a defensive midfielder or a striker. One winger, possibly this will have to be a loanee. Ellis Harrison signing a contract extension. No more first team regulars leaving. A positive result at Donny. What I think we'll get from the above? The winger, on loan, no one leaving and I think we may take a point at Donny. I know people think it's a cop-out, but it really is a difficult transfer window to do business in. We have to be realistic at present and I think if we can stay up and then continue to re-shape our squad in the summer that's the best we can hope for. But hanging on to DC and our best players is more important than getting new ones in at this time, in my opinion. We can now add Rollin Menayese signing a new contract to the positives

I wonder how many we have missed out on?
I must admit I did expect more business to have been done by now.

Has anyone considered if Otis Khan is one of the rumoured 2 signings that the delay is deliberate ? Yeovil play tomorrow night so if we wait until Weds to sign him he'll only have 3 games left of his ban rather than 4 if we signed him today or tomorrow.
