That makes sense when you think where our biggest problem for the last 7 or 8 years lies. ... Up front ...

Perhaps we've leanrt from last season's failings and have planned ahead just in just we finish in the Play offs, plus I assume signing a player for a month or so is far cheaper than signing them for 6 months. Although with so much money at DC's disposal now you do wonder why we had to suffer the likes of Martin earlier in the season? I've long suspected that DC's budget was severely restricted last summer and early season because the BoD simply had no idea how crowds would hold up all season. For all they knew we were looking at 4000 or so all year, hence some of the more budget signings. As the season's gone on, crowds have been consistently 6,000+ with a few exceptions so the budget has been increased with confidence. All hospitality packages have been sold out for weeks now as well. So, credit the board for managing the budget (for once) and credit to us for sticking with BRFC

Problem is now we needed a couple of signings the board have still not loosened the purse strings, if we lose a defender or two we could finish up like last season v Mansfield, having only 3 fits defenders again

Toppergas, You are dead right unfortunately. I thought that we would tonight be looking at two class signings for this division who would come with the intention of earning a contract if we got promoted and who would give us the edge in the coming 6 plus possibly 3 games. Instead we have signed a player who is very unlikely to be match fit and in truth has done very little either this season or before. People may criticise me for this but that is the way I see it. IMO the new signing is not a touch on even Balanta who has not been given many opportunities. I must admit I was a bit worried this morning when I saw that the two youngsters had been brought back which signalled to me that there was not going to be anything much happening today.

Two defensive targets turned us down, I think at this late stage in the season not many will uproot themselves just for a few games.Especially when a few games at best they will be on the bench!

Live in a hotel / short term let for a month, play in a top 3 team, play in front of up to 10k fans, put yourself in window, win games, feel happy, maybe get a promotion on your CV, and maybe even score at Wembley!!

It sounds like LDV was keen to join us plus Grimsby have signed Kidderminster's centre half and captain on loan! Fans always seem to like to roll out excuses for the BoD not signing players but if we offered enough money I can't see any player thinking about joining a Conference side turning us down to sign elsewhere.

Good news for next Monday then!
