Approaching mid January and have we even been linked to anyone yet? The likes of Scunny clearly had deals lined up weeks in advance and got them concluded in the first week of the window. I suspect we'll see one, maybe two, last minute uninspiring loans. 😟 I do wonder if we are being set up for nobody coming in and this comment from Coughlan made me think: “If we get someone in to help us, that will be brilliant. If we don’t the lads will be fine." If we can't find anyone to improve this side then there is something seriously wrong somewhere. Dwane Sports don't manufacture managers, but if they did....

I still think we’ll go down without a couple of additions. I’m not expecting anyone with any real league 1 experience to come in it will be a last gasp loan deal , if that . DC could clearly see the warning signs The teams around us are strengthening, some significantly. In this game if you stand still you get left behind. I've said before If we don't bring in at least 2 or 3 quality additions we will get relegated. We may as well just give up now then as I can't see us bringing in 2 or 3 quality additions which I assume will cost £100K/£150K each to bring in. If GC can get Payne playing to a reasonable level that will be like one new signing plus hopefully he can use Martin's wages for another experienced left side player. Other than that I can see it being 1 out, 1 in but there's no signs of anyone leaving yet, fingers crossed it won't by Jak, Serc's or Bonham leaving.

I just get the feeling no one is coming in and maybe smith will go out on loan and if there’s any takers for Russe and mayo then them too. There’s clearly no money on the table and just get the feeling the board now think we’re out of the woods and taking a chance on it... If jak gets injured or takes a dip in form what do we have...Nichols? Payne? Reilly is good but can’t do it on his owns if that’s the case and scoring has been our biggest problem until recently

Wont Slocombe being back use up Martin's wages, we obviously will not give up, but our relegation rivals making signings worries me more than them not making signings. Agree i can't see us spending money on fee's.

Very worrying, when we were never likely to score today, that we’ve got two strikers on the bench that we’ve paid money for. Aren’t even trusted, to try and get us a goal. I personally think if we don’t sign another striker, and get shot of Nichols. We’re in the sh**.

I couldn't understand what we had to lose today by giving Payne a 10/15 minutes run out, given Jak was getting nowhere today.

I see Jorge grant has had his loan at Luton terminated Him and Nicky Ajose have joined Mansfield Town on loan.

GC has clearly stated he wanted certain players but couldn’t get them so that’s it...I still think smith could go on loan by the end of the month and can’t see anyone taking a chance on any of our younger players... League 2 teams are really pumping the money out on players

All I have heard him say is that if players who are available are better than what we have he will do his utmost to get them in the door.

I agree with him Bideford and i actually believe we have a good enough squad ta get to mid-table.
TBH i think previous seasons we have got players in fur th sake of it during transfer windows.

I didn't know he couldn't get any of his wanted list -- But he clearly stated he had a list of players he would like to bring in. Its obvious AJ needs help with the sharing in the goal scoring department.

It’s abundantly clear that we desperately need a couple of players in through the door , it would seem that our inept owners are happy to gamble on our league 1 status by thus far bringing in no one , like I said previously, I genuinely think we will go down if we don’t bring anyone in !

But, do we know they haven’t tried to do so and been pushed back? Given previous posts/threads on here about how things are kept close to their chests it’s not surprising that there is no news on this. Think we need to wait until the end of the month to know.
