Hopefully, they have been busy on the phones over the last couple days and a couple are sorted just travelling down etc. for some early-ish announcements tomorrow, to calm people down haha.
Then they can stay active throughout the crazy last few hours tomorrow and see if any good deals pop up last minute.

Even Barton said Anderson wasn't anywhere near our first choice, we only signed him as other deals fall through. For all the scouting, planning and talking to player's you need a bit of luck as well.

LB is such a boring position, let’s just get excited by signing forwards and midfielders Not sure why we think we should all know something isn’t it a good thing nothing is coming out the club, all the ITK ers missed ward and the fact Austin was training with us for weeks. Players are already lined up we’ll get three tomorrow to add to the three we’ve already signed On the subject of LB, it is clear Joey doesn't fancy Heal or Jones, but when is Grant ready to return? I remember they said he "probably" won't play first team football again this season, but with medical advances and a 5-6 strong medical team, I would have thought he might get a chance before the end of the season. Broghammer and Harrold were not due to return until late summer after early season injuries, but both came back in April, so it has happened before. If we do sign another LB would that mean we have 5 LBs on the books (inc Clarke) and another 2-3 who can play there?

Gibbons can play at LB with Gordon as back up, another CB would be my priority tomorrow, given that Connolly seems to have lost his way and Gibson could be out for another month plus. I agree we desperately need a holding CM but they are probably in demand. [br Fair points, although I don’t fancy Gibbons at LB, and while I think Gordon has bags of potential he needs to be the back up LB and learn his trade from a more experienced player. For me with Rossiter out, our weakest area is here. Like you say though, this type of player will be in high demand and maybe Grant can fill this spot until Rossiter returns. Agreed needing a centre half but I don’t see many experienced players available and fear we would bring in another young loan I thought it was confirmed Grant was now out for the season, even if it wasn't then I doubt we'll see him in the starting 11 any time soon.

Huge day tomorrow.
Need at least 2 more players (absolute minimum). Left back required desperately and someone in the Rossiter mould to fill the hole he's left (lot's of other positions too, but if we were to get 2 players and 2 players alone that would be my choice).

Assume he means the other Grant just signed

Weird!

Sorry, I mean Grant Ward, don’t know why I called him Grant tbh, new signing new name I thought he was more of an attacking CM, although if he then I'm not sure where that now leaves Finley, Evans and McCormick, probably one of them will be looking for a new club. It seems strangely quiet even by JB's standards, as we usually get the odd rumour of a potential signing.

It seems strangely quiet even by JB's standards, as we usually get the odd rumour of a potential signing. I think you are right and he has played most of his career as a more attacking player. Which is why I’m hoping he can do a job there in the meantime if we don’t bring in a holding midfielder tomorrow. It is very quiet but we have made a fair few signings in the past without hearing much before hand. I’m just hoping we aren’t going to sign players tomorrow for the sake of it. We have done relatively well so far this season so we aren’t finding players to dig us out of a hole so no need to panic buy players imo. I would be happy with 2 signings tomorrow if they are of a good quality and add to and upgrade what we already have

Reason to be hopeful and have fingers crossed at least.

Was hoping to see a 'Morning Gasheads' tweet from admin when I logged on. Instead I see lots of messages suggesting Collins could be on his way.

I see Hibs have bid for Jonny Williams at Swindon. Apparently has other EFL interest. Wouldn't be surprised if we looked at that actually.

Ruben Rodrigues should really be playing at our level. Out of contract in the summer I believe. Notts County will have done well if they keep him beyond January, although will likely leave for free in summer.
