Possibly an unpopular view but here goes. I feel that we are missing a trick by not bringing additional recruits through the emergency window. Although the window closes tomorrow it is reported that players will leave but no additional recruits will be made as Cellino does not see the worth of short term loans. Although it is true that short term loan players are not a guarantee of success and that those players available are not the cream of the crop, it is clear that we are missing key personnel i.e. leaders that could make a significant difference to this squad. I think we have a good set of players who are playing attractive football but the right additions could bring it all together. There are loan players at the club that I feel Redfearn has no intention of using (as he has not done so already) such as Benedici (although he has had injuries), Del Fabro and Montenegro, coupled with loaning out Murphy, Hunt, Ajose and Wootton surely would free up enough wages to bring a couple in? Also the potential that no signings can be made in January because of a FFFP embargo means that this is the squad that must try and keep us in the division. Unfortunately results do not lie and dare I say demonstrates a short sighted approach from Cellino and a lack of testicular fortitude from Redfearn if all they are bothered about is reducing the wage bill (although I accept that we have too many players).

I think you are spot on been saying for a while that we need two wingers a striker and a creative midfield player, not saying we would or should get them all now as that is clearly not easy to do, or the right thing at this stage, but would like to have at least seen a winger arrive as you are right results don't lie that much and our current first choice 11 is not good enough to challenge the play off places. If we cannot sign anybody in January and we get a few injuries we could have a few problems.

We have adryan as the creative midfielder

Yes maybe but his fitness is questionable plus can't expect him to play 90 every game as he'll burn out.
Wingers please

Why can't we expect a footballer to play 90 mins every game? Others do it, players in the champs league play 60+games a season, yes he was out of shape but he should be getting upto speed now the more he plays, any pro should be able to
S.T.W

It is pretty amazing someone of his age isn't fit enough to play 90 minutes, doesn't look like he loves his beer or pies?
