    Well signings or not let’s hope they can replicate that form if not we will be down.

    What other kinds of signings do you think we'll make? 750k for League Two's top scorer?

    What an absolute mess. This month was to save our season by signing proper quality players, yet we're going to end up with more shite that no one else wants. Joke.

    Not an actual true rumour but putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. Wasn't there a post in the last couple of threads that's said we were after a striker that has played winger before? Shaquile Coulthurst maybe? Maybe it's taken longer because he was playing last night? Just a guess, seen as there's not many rumours on here at the moment.

    I honestly do not understand several posters on this thread. Perfectly reasonable posters who I respect are behaving like children who were promised an ice cream when the van arrives, then the van doesn’t arrive and there is a wholesale tantrum going on!!!

    Which part of Rahic has done us over don’t you understand?? It was always going to be difficult in January to put it right!

    We know we need at least a striker, winger and midfielder, but trying to get quality in on an Aldi budget is damn near impossible. What I can’t stand is proclaiming we are relegated if we don’t is not only premature but a self fulfilling prophecy. The players need to know the fans THINK we can get out of this. Of course I am just as dissapointed as everyone but loads of business gets done in the last few days, so you never know. I tell you what I don’t want on our books is more wage collectors, I want hard battling players who are up for the challenge.

    Of course. I fully get what you did and why.
    My point is, experience is gained by playing competitive games at a ‘reasonable’ level. As such, playing league and cup games (not Check-a-trade or u23 games) surely gives the player some level of experience?

    And I still don’t get the point you were making about Wright. His experience was gained at a number of clubs, but it’s still experience regardless. Surely?

    Sorry onside, but if we don't sign at least 3 quality players before Thursday then we are more than likely down. The first XI is decent at best (when the tactics are correct) but the rest of the squad is utter shite. We can't rely on 11 players for the rest of the season and we don't need squad fillers who are just coming to sit on the bench and not compete for a starting spot. These next 2 days are huge but I'm not remotely confident.

    Throw in Scannell and Mellor into the match day squad from Burton and it looks a lot stronger. If we only got a quality striker, then I would be ok with that. Midfielder and a left winger then everything is rosey.

    When you don't reply to the specific poster we don't know who you are referring to @Onside@Onside, which posts are you referring to, genuine question ?.

    It seems to have gone quite on the Mellor front, as I posted I spoke to him 3 weeks ago and he was training along with Colville and I assume the fitness coach, Colville is back playing yet no word of Mellor, or have I missed it ?.

    But they're another two players who we're judging on name and history when in fact they've produced either poor or average performances for us this season. We need new blood who will come in and make a difference, not hope two players of the overall shite signed in the summer will come good.

    We'll bring players in, whether they are good enough is another matter.

    We won't go down because of January, anyone who knows anything about football knows that.

    If we go down it's because of what happened throughout 2018 until the idiot responsible finally left, it won't be easy to reverse that damage people obviously don't realise that.
