January Transfer Window

[Silent Blade]

Matt Clarke: Might not have been our first choice for RB but last few games it's become necessary that we sign a RB ( Seriki fitness and Gilchrists loss of form), as for JJK, I'd say the jokes on Hertha Berlin as we quickly got another target in, while they're now stuck with a player who doesn't want to be there and will now leave for nothing in the summer.

We have gone for some solid, robust signings, adding experience and strength to the group. If we get another centre half in, we should definitely be stronger defensively.

The question is if we have enough creativity, finesse and flair to get us the goals we need. On only one occasion have we scored twice in a match. We are 19th in terms of big chances created, although we score from them more than most. I think we'll keep being very reliant on Hamer and we must hope that Rak-Sakyi gets back to form and that O'Hare will contribute. Seriki and Campbell staying fit could also be important, as they can give us pace and movement.

With so many additions, the dynamics of the team may also change. A more solid midfield with Souza and Choudury may lack creativity. But if they allow our flair players more freedom and maybe make us attack with a bit more urgency we could score more goals from fast transitions and counter attacking. It will be interesting to see how we plan to make it work.

i think thats a good point about souza and choudray in midfield it will give hamer and o'hare licence to attack with freedom especially hamer who has picked up most of his bookings having to track back having said that souza and choudray can both play a bit

Wilder was pretty deffo we’d get 3 in before Derby. Exaggeration, optimistic or has something changed in filling the most important position CB.
Be just our luck for Robo or Anel to get injured/dismissed.

Boy I’m feeling positive.

Got to start going out to win games now, do it for pasta man THE KOP

Keep getting this nagging feeling that we may have messed this window up.

Getting in good players but are they what we need... almost like can't find the right jigsaw piece so just shoved a piece which is close enough in there instead.

Cannon - good player, but not sure suits the way we build our attacks and certainly not as a lone striker.

Choudhury- again good midfielder, but is he the right type of midfielder that we need or is he too similar to what we already have.

BBD - Again we know what he can do, but looks very rusty and a little overweight, will he be able to get up to speed and get going in time for the final charge.

Harry Clarke - Doesn't seem like was ever our first choice. Is he going to be a upgrade on what we've already got?

I might be totally off the mark here, (and I hope I am!) but like I said originally, just get the feeling these signings are gonna affect our squad dynamics and all a little mismatched.

Love the optimism
