    Such a juxtaposition in this post seems to sum the club up in this window....supposedly in for Grigg (honestly?) an experienced higher level scorer to end up with a striker from the club at the bottom of the league who have scored 21 league goals and he can't get in the team, and appears to have attitude problems from that Stevenage fans tweet!! We quite clearly have no ambitions of promotion this season from what is a poor league!! Good luck JR in getting 20k season tickets next season!!

    Dunno... probably rather have Guthrie.

    Oteh clearly couldn't play up front on his own on Tuesday - Guthrie is tall, so might be able to... head it?

    I would say based on this window you beat us to that crown with ease. We have only Lost 2 players. Young who with Dalot now fit and Williams brilliant performances Since moving from u23's he wasn’t going to get games (and was blocking Lairds route into getting some minutes which he deserves as he has been better in u23's than Williams) and Rojo who wasn’t going to get games and with Axel Tuanzebe likely to be back after the winter break he was going to fall further down the pecking order. And we have brought in a potentially great midfielder and a striker on loan who isn’t going to set the league alight but gives us a different option especially while Rashford is out injured (and who won’t really hold back Greenwoods progress)

    Still got time to sign a loan player
    EFL clubs can still sign loan players outside of the transfer window, seven days after it has shut. Free agents can also be signed by any club at any point outside of the transfer window

    Doyle was never going to score regularly with us, it's a mis-match, so can go, we've not got weaker with him going. Vaughan, not a team player, maybe, maybe not weaker. That depends on the new arrivals, we've had Lee Novak mentioned a ton of times, but when he actually turns up, he's dissed. I'll wait and see but I'd rather have a Bradford City team full of players without one eye on being somewhere else.

    We didn’t need the entire window Simon, the Doyle saga alone was enough to claim the crown! The entire window, I’m just about lost for words.

    Again, might be difficult. Pretty sure the idea is Donaldson and Novak.

    Apparently one more to come, awaiting international clearance
    Would this be Carey ?

    Most teams try to strengthen in the window; we seem to have wilfully inflicted self harm. If we had promotion potential before, we certainly don’t now. What other explanation is there other than we had to cut the wage bill.

    It’ll fall through. Don’t worry. Just dangling a carrot so fans wait a bit and forget about how bad it’s been

    If the activity (lack of or otherwise) is down to the board, will GB decide to walk?

    Don’t try and put a positive slant on this, you’ll get lumped in the same bracket as Park. Just be a doom-monger like the rest of us!

    Aye. Fair enough.

    I've just watched the montage the club put up and he looks another unit. If we thought Bowyer was gonna adapt our style I suspect we can guess again. With Don, Novak and Guthrie it looks like it's three big units to pick from and even more hoooooooooooooooooof

    So we’ve shifted a striker (Doyle) who took the piss out of us, a guy who strung us along signing a 3 year deal and jumping at the first opportunity (Vaughan), a striker nobody rated (Oteh) and a midfielder who was blamed for everything that was bad about our performances (Palmer) and there’s a complete meltdown.

    People keep saying we’ve let 34 goals go out the door are conveniently forgetting 23 of them were for Swindon, so we lost 11.

    Am I happy with our incomings, no. Am I glad to see the back of those who’ve left, damn right.
