My hope is the Blackett is training with us as suggested, proves his worth, and signs a deal at Rovers. He at least has some experience which might help our youngsters. He can then slot into defence which would allow Bogarde to play in midfield. Blacketts career really took off at Reading where he played 122 games - interesting that in his 10 year career he has a total of only 172 games played albeit there were some big clubs like Man Utd and Celtic where he spent some time especially early on without game time. Yet to score a professional goal .... if he joins I bet he gets one with us. Would be an interesting addition...

Incredibly poor window but probably decided it is all about survival now this term,make do and then build again for next season. Maybe the money we got in for Kilgour & Saunders went to paying off Westbrooke. Whether is was a poor window or not will tell over the next 3 months. What you mean is you’re underwhelmed I think. People were underwhelmed when we signed an injury prone player from Torquay - Bodin , non league Barry Hayles, non league Matty Taylor , non league Arron Collins, 7th tier Stu Sinclair. Underwhelmed means nothing on the 1st February to be fair.

The best of business was tying up Sinclair and keeping hold of Collins. Hopefully Collins can kick on and grab a few mores goals and assists. Blacketts an interesting one on paper very good so would be nice to see that one added to the squad

Wow. Matty and Ellis up top for Vale is a force tbf Was a force 6 years ago. Not so sure now. Remains to be seen, though I do think they are both individually still very capable. Collins and Coburn are certainly a force! Taylor bagged 20 League goals last year, Ellis on 8 this year. There’s still a force there. If anyone can get them firing it’s DC. Collins and Coburn are a force but Vale have strengthened where needed with what on paper is a very good signing on deadline day. Not so sure we have done that.

Any chance we can edit the title of this thread? Each time I log on, I momentarily think that we've signed somebody out of contract!

John Marquis 4 league goals in 19 EFL appearances for the gas this season,not exactly a success in most people’s opinion. Matty Taylor 3 goals in 22 EFL appearances for Oxford this season,a busted flush in the opinion of lots of Oxford supporters.

Memories of the late, great Brian Clough, we had a good team on paper, unfortunately the game was played on grass.

I usually hate the club media videos on new signings, but I did like this Burton twitter post hinting Gassam Ahadme was incoming..

I think we should look to get Dan Crowley in from Morecombe in the Summer. He has only signed until the end of the season there, still young and can play across the midfield and as a 10. I saw him when he was at Cheltenham and he really stood out as a quality player.

Connor Wickham on a deal until the end of the season would be something I'd try to make happen. A front two of Coburn and Wickham with Collins just behind could be quite devastating for opposition defences.

The former Fulham midfielder Lasse Vigen available as a free agent could also add something for us in midfield.

How long do we have to register new players? Is there a deadline like there is just after the summer transfer window closes when you have to submit your squad?

I believe you have to submit your official squad list, after a transfer window, within 24 or 48 hours of it shutting. But if you have space you can apply to add free transfers and register them up to sometime around the middle of March, usually.
