To put some perspective on matters we have an above average number of players injured, a few players out of form Alioski/ Saiz, a couple of the loanees Harrison and Baker not making a big impression. The game last night we were crying out for a strong midfielder to drive the team on and really go at them . Like the Reading guy who picked up the ball and ran 20 or 30 yards through our mid field a number of times . Although the young guns have slotted in well and not let anyone one down. We could do with as many as five players in January, if we really want to kick on and this would also show intent. Keeper, CH, CM Winger and Striker.

Just do not see that Bielsa will want 5 players in Jan for this year . Bamford, Brown, Beradi and Ayling all to come back in Jan and some under 23s, getting closer as the season runs on. GK for the bench yes and then for me somone who can take the opportunities others create.

Look at Kun, displays s lot of the qualities you are writing about from midfield. Wouldn’t surprise me if he gets some mins before season end. Gone from under 18s to under 23s fairly easily and looked great on Monday including superb goal!

We have 27 games left, can all the players in the current squad play to their best in all those games, Fitness, Form and Fatigue are all factors, a few added quality players who can make the difference in some of the games could make all the difference.

We are carrying a passenger or two at the moment. It is important to strengthen in every window and if we are in the mix come January a couple of buys and a couple of quality loans could really make the difference, add in the players coming back and we might then have enough.

The answer is that Bub thinks he has enough, good enough for me.

No way we will add as many as five - one or two maybe but I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t add anyone except a reserve goalie

Saiz hasn’t been in form since the first 5 games last season. Maybe this is his actual form and those few games were a fluke?
