In Barton's post-match presser he suggests we're looking to bring in 5 more players. This raises some questions....
Why is he being trusted to overhaul the squad even more?
Who will he be looking to bring in?
Where do we realistically need to be strengthening if promotion is to be achieved?

From what I’ve seen, we need a left back, centre back, central midfielder and a striker. Perhaps a right back too, depending on how long Trevor Clarke is out for.
I think on top of getting bodies in, we need to find a way of playing and creating chances. You can bring in as many players as you want but if you can’t find a way for them to play successfully with each other then it does no good at all.

Sounds like a whole lot of panic.

Agree wholeheartedly, there seems to be absolutely no 'Plan A' let alone a 'Plan B'. I accept the players will take time to gel but that second half today was nothing short of awful, painfully slow and sloppy in our own half. |

5 more in, just half the starting 11 needed then in a few days to the deadline, while trying to get rid of others to make room, unless we are happy to keep players and pay them to do sod all. It's a big few days for sure and will be a difficult challenge. Im glad he is (or says he is) trying to bring in players as what we have is a struggling L2 side. Bring in 5 is better than none.
I can't see us getting the 5 though as JB been moaning for ages that this window has been difficult to sign players. What will change over the next few days? Teams won't want to lose good players at this stage as they have no time to replace.

Might be easier to sign players in the last few days as players who are about to be left out of the squad numbers might take a deal they would turned down before |

He said 4 are basically done. Any guesses as to who? I’m thinking Westbrooke and Barrett are two. Cian Harries and Alfie Kilgour are the only other two I can think of unless Barton is going to get rid of the likes of Josh Grant and Anssi Jaakkola. |

So we're potentially allowing him to bloat the wage bill even more with more of his 35 year old mates from up North? |

Not sure he means 4 out, but i could see Anssi going fitness issues and misses games due to international and must be a a high earner |

I took it as 4 incoming signings being done, but may be wrong? |

Why would we want another keeper?
Right back, JB prefers a three so why?
Has he realised some of his signings are not good enough?

Doh. Would be crazy to get rid of Anssi IMO, he’s such a good keeper for this level. Belshaw seems to be decent too. Why break up that level of competition? |

We may get lucky and find ourselves a new JCH but reality is we are fighting for scraps that other clubs don't want. Look at the state of our club. Who would want to come to us if they have offers elsewhere? Even I wouldn't. |

If he gets rid of Kilgour I won’t spend a penny more on this club.
