I'm seriously worried that we will be in trouble now if we don't get some more players in that are genuinely going to be starting 11 quality and players that improve our team.
What is going on at the club, sold our best wide player and brought in a striker so far.
I have lost all faith in the direction of the club. The clueless leading the blind.
And none of that was aimed at DC, just to confirm.

As much as I liked him as a player when he was here, Carayol does appear to be injury prone these days, and the way he instigated his move away from the gas was appalling. Plenty of gasheads still on his Twitter block list including myself!! I agree - people have short memories of how he engineered a move away and how much this upset the fanbase at the time. I cannot see him returning to us for those very reasons. Yep. He never wore No.6 - but he was still "The Prisoner". That's enough reason not to make him an offer.

We are very slow when it comes to transfers. The whole recruitment side of the club needs some overhaul. Too many dodgy signings of late. Nicholls, James, Telford, even Bola has struggled, Moore etc.

Mensah can play out wide and in the middle. Let's hope he adds a bit of spark to our limp attack like Bodin did. The window has two weeks left...

Take the weekends out of the equation and we only got nine days including today to tie up the other 3 permanent signings Clarke spoke of so as usual our recruitment policy is somewhat very sluggish

You have to believe that the ground work in approaching players starts a lot earlier than the start date of the transfer window I'm sure. Players would know of interest through agents but hold out for perhaps better deals or the club giving permission to talk as don't forget they are in the same situation as us. Lose a player need to buy a player. I'm sure some initial targets have said no as we've been told, some are hanging on, and some are waiting for Rovers to come back. Not all DC fault in being sluggish or desperate in his player recruitment.

Too much emphasis on playing above ourselves with DC recently. Need to get on with the transfer business and stop the excuses. Action speaks louder than words- oh wait a minute we only get words on a Thursday!

Steve I agree with your thoughts.
We keep hearing every window about players wanting too much but it is what it is and talking to the press about wage budgets does us no favours at all.
We seem to pay transfer fees a lot more than we have done in recent years, perhaps these experienced players we want need to be only those on a free transfer and accept we have to pay them the money they want/need to move?
With some very tough games coming up (and providing they play!!) we need to get some more experience in so they can work with the rest of the team asap.

Got a feeling Otis khan might sign today 🤨 Not when they are playing Man Utd a a couple of weeks. He will wait to play in that game and then make his move.
