Thing is in the summer half our defence (Balcome, Quansah, Gibson and Bogarde) will be returning to their parent clubs. It’s not a great model to build lasting foundations long term.

Barring Tisdale's calamity, I can't remember a January window as underwhelming as this. Barton mouthing off about wanting this and that doesn't help. It's clear the club ain't got no money or they ain't prepared to spend anymore. Either way until we get the ground situation sorted it's fruitless even thinking about a play off push.. There is no evidence of this whatsoever. Seems more like we left the business to the end of the window and there wasn't much left in the end. Wouldn't be surprised if an out of contract or two players get announced tomorrow.

I thought JB said there would be outgoings after Saturdays defeat? Maybe no other clubs wanted them?

A mixed January at best. Went into the window worrying that Collins could be sold and Colburn could be recalled. Having them two upfront still is a massive plus.
We are still weak in midfield and lack experience at the back though. Also we are still weak at left back.
It's good that we have kept the players we wanted but we could have added a bit more quality.
We should have more than enough to stay up, which a lot of us would have took at the start of the season.
Does anyone know he long Rossiter is out for??

Well in the end I guess we brought in defenders and possibly a CDM in Bogarde and we may hear more tomorrow from free agents who’ve been released today. We were never going to get any strikers were we with what we’ve got. We needed defenders and a central midfielder and we got them, just. I understand feeling underwhelmed but I’ll wait to see them play and trust that they’ll be decent signings. I was very happy and excited about signing Zain Westbrooke. 😉
Welcome to the gas Lamare and Callum.
UTG!

Could see us trying to bring in Tyler Blackett. Has he been playing this season? Been playing in 🇺🇸 and his last game was back in August.

Does anyone know he long Rossiter is out for?? Poor window in my opinion. We were told we'd be much stronger at the end of the window than the beginning. That doesn't look likely. JB wanted 5 signings today and we ended up with a Stockport reject at LB and another untried youngster at CB. With the exception of Rossiter I don't think any of our midfielders have looked L1 class, and he might not play again this season. Was really hoping for a CB with experience to help our youngsters and a couple of quality midfielders. Hoping our business isn't done and there are a few good free agents we can sign.

It’s not and that’s my worry too. Central defence I think is the position where you need an experienced commanding player that is on the books , knows the club and has leadership qualities. Not saying it can’t work having a load of kids on loan in there but I think it’s much less likely to work.

If you had told me when I went to bed last night I'd miss two signings, but wake up glad I went to bed I'd have never believed you 😂
Fingers crossed they're decent but christ, hugely underwhelming. A L2 reserve and another inexperienced defender on loan.
Not only that, despite saying we needed 5 or 6 (?) players at the start of the window, we've finished +/- 0 by my reckoning. Ridiculous.
Any chance of promotion (if ever it were realistically there) quite clearly gone now. Can only see us looking down the table rather than up over the course of the rest of the season. Fingers crossed we get enough points on the board! Would snap your hand off now for 16th or around there.

can't believe DC would trust that man again after he did the dirty on him last time, once a snake always a snake

Maybe players didn't want to come to a club where they will get publicly slated if they have an off day or get played out of position and don't play as well as they could had they been played in the position they were brought into the club to do?

can't believe DC would trust that man again after he did the dirty on him last time, once a snake always a snake I always say there is no loyalty in football. As much as we didn't like it at the time, the snake did what he had to do to potentially further his career. Better wages and the chance to play at a higher level. Deep down DC knows this too and when all is said and done, Snakey performed superbly for DC during his time here and will be thinking he can get a tune out of him again.

So since the summer window closed we have added.
A goalkeeper A central defender. A left back A defender who can also play midfield. A central midfielder. A wide attacker (sinclair)
Plus possibly one or two free agents over the coming month.
This is basically covering where most fans declared we needed more competition. Time will tell how well they play this season.
We certainly need to bring in permanent quality players in the summer.

Does anyone know he long Rossiter is out for?? JB's now signed 3 left backs this season, Gibbons, Gordon g McD, if we're still weak thrn that's down to him? Rossiter is potentially out for the season if he needs a knee op?
