The fact we didn't strengthen properly in the summer is bad enough. To let another transfer window pass without addressing all our issues, is just laughable. Said it before, and I will say it again...if we go down this year, it's exactly what the board deserve If we go down again after screwing up yet again following a successful campaign I will seriously consider losing interest in the football league if we can't seriously complete.

Small squad on a reasonable wage, just walked the league with a young talented squad that all it needed was to add a little bit of quality and depth and that would've in my opinion stayed up comfortably. Now we've turned ourself a into a laughing stock that manager or players don't want to commit to. I just hope the players have it in them now to keep us up as I can't fault any of them for there efforts this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall's Splinter Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Some seriously honest and correct posts above. Our club have made this very difficult for ourselves. I hope those blinded happy clappers are right come May time. Very bleak in my opinion. Needed 2 strikers, a midfielder who gets passed the front men and/or an experienced head. Needed it all season. Hopefully Tomlin fills one if those roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 All this window proves is that we are resigned to going down and don't want to be paying Championship wages to a striker in League One next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Clearly it seems everyone was trying hard to bring in a player or two today. However, if everyone wants us just to 'throw money at it', is it better to; - pay well over the odds for a player like Dack, on lets say a three year contract, because we need them now? - pay over the odds for a good striker who does a job on loan for six months, keeps us up, and then we can have a proper summer? Disappointed as any it did not work out today, but it came down to taking risks on forwards who had little better pedigree than Agard. Rather than pay an extra million or two for the likes of Dack, we could pay £50k a week on a loan until the end of the season, and still be in pocket, if the only objective right now is staying up. If all the deals we had done this window had happened today, we would have said that was 'fair to middling'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golbourne - again needed and gives us balance Pearce - not needed as wont get picked ahead of Flint and Baker and we have Williams as cover of needed Gladwin - Bobby Reid got picked over him Saturday! Tomlin - most exciting signing but questions over temperament and fitness Vitally missing cover/quality in midfield and another goal scorer so no not very happy with the transfer window!

Frenchay Red Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I wonder what our new C.O.O. will have to say? Given that he said players were more urgently needed rather than a new manager. Okay we have brought some good additions in, but the key position which requires strengthening remains the same. Oh well on to a search for a loan striker to support our lone striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
