Exeter City signing Mattie Pollock, on loan from Watford. Good signing that.

Awfully quiet on the transfer front everywhere today…. Maybe some announcements this afternoon?

Would be great to announce the Liverpool CB today. And the keeper if he is coming

I fear the worst Saturday against all those set plays and long balls from Wycombe with our current back 3 of Connelly hoole and gibbons. We have to strengthen with a commanding centre half before then.

We have to strengthen with a commanding centre half before then. True, probably couldn't have a worse game at the moment based on their usual style. Remember Connor Taylor taking a bit of time to adapt as well to some physical challenges so even with new signings, assuming they are younger loans, it may not improve as instantly as some might like.

Reading between the lines of what JB said we may not get the players in until the last day or two of the window and may have to make do against Wycombe and Morecambe and hope we get some points

We have to strengthen with a commanding centre half before then. We could get absolutely smashed on Saturday if we go with the same paper thin defence as Accrington - the confidence of our defenders seems shot and Connolly in particular has the wide eyed stare of a blast victim ... his head seems all over the place. Part of me thinks we would be better if therewas a huge freeze and the game was off. I really don't go with this 'value only at the back end of the window' when other teams are making some interesting and progressive signings. That said I know EJ is working his socks off to get conversations going so can't complain at the effort that is going in from the club. By the end of the month I am quietly confident we will be stronger and push on again ...

We desperately need some defence strengthening before Saturday won't be time time bed then in properly but at least it will give Wycombe something to think about because at the minute they're probably running their hands together

But any potential points we drop between Wycombe & Morecambe could be crucial come the end of the season, poor really.

Like with Accrington, we are going to have to outscore them. Lets hope Wycombe dont also do a number on our forward players like Accy managed

I get that for sure as every point counts, but I think it's more important to get the right players in, even if that means struggling in the next game or two. For the greater good and all that

Elliott Anderson was at the very back end of the window and was probably the best value signing of that window of any club in any league anywhere!

I’d still rather wait though for the right players .

For the greater good and all that Totally agree. Not worth getting a player in we don't really want just to fill a gap. That said we are incredibly light at the back atm and Wycombe are more than streetwise enough to exploit it. JB was looking to strengthen anyway and the Bobby Thomas situation would have accelerated the process, so I personally think there will be a CB in before the weekend. Cue Whelan at CB...

Gibson not available Saturday A Rolls Royce of a defender as JB puts it, but this one always seems to be in the garage

Gibson not available Saturday What is the latest injury? Is he working through every muscle and tendon in the human body? Fans tick off grounds, he ticks of muscles injured - shame as he’s a good player.

Groin problem for Gibson he has had it before not helped by the state of the pitch on New Year’s Day
