Couple of days left in the window I would expect the usual 1 or 2 loans over the next few days. Personally would like to see a left winger to fill the Barry shaped hole on our left, and a fullback for each side as cover. A CDM to cover Watts absence I think is a long shot with the way Mallan played last night. Looks like Brandon could be on the move again. Not sure if we had a sell on included in the deal to WBA but £2mil+ would represent a decent return if a sell was included. Add that to the £100-150k we get for the Leeds result last night and it could be a very good couple of days for the bank balance. the72.co.uk/2023/08/30/stoke-city-fail-with-2m-bid-for-west-brom-striker-other-clubs-monitoring-situation/Still a lot of good championship,L1/2 and Scottish Championship free agents available, the need to get them signed is less urgent against the ticking transfer window clock but would be good to see some additions come in over the coming days.

We need players before Friday night as our squad is ridiculously thin for the next 4 months otherwise. Wood's insistence on playing about 15 players max and his aversion to certain players (Berkoe X2 when Garbutt has had to come off for example) doesn't help either. I think we're particularly light in both full back and central defensive areas as well as left and centre forward but I fear we will bring in either nobody or max 2 who Wood then won't pick. A long autumn and winter beckon 😡

Just like Ryan Leak looks like Morton could be moving up a league to Exeter City. Weird day on the L2 news front - Dave Challinor talking to Charlton after Holden’s departure would put the cat amongst the pigeons at Edgeley if he left.

He's barely looked National League standard from what I've seen never mind L1. Hopefully it comes off and we can bring in an upgrade before tomorrow night. Would be highly amusing if Challenor left

Hopefully we get some bodies in the door today. Not ITK but, Ian Evatt mentioned in the week Declan John is free to leave Bolton. Personally I think that is the kind of level we should be looking at if the Owners are serious about getting out of L2 this season.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see a few go out as well, fingers crossed no one revives interest in Luke Bolton. Think/Hope it’s be a busy one today - but we need quality not Callum Morton’s.

I thought the same when I saw Evatt's comments, I'd have been straight on the phone about him and Sadlier who must be an upgrade on what we have there. Sadly I think it will be 1 or 2 loan players at most who won't have the quality or be in Wood's good books enough to take us up a level.

Yes, I stand by to be blown away, but we've had too many false dawns to hope for something spectacular.

Was in and around the ENGU20’s squad that was successful in the summer. He must be decent because my colleague who is a Wolves ST holder has said he looks good.

Brilliant idea. That means we can then put Shep in at Left Back as he did the other week. Out-of-the-box thinking by our team! Unless Shep is going somewhere......

He's injured again according to the team news today along with Garbutt and Mallan. No doubt Bolton will be at LB tomorrow, perish the thought we play an actual left back there in Berkoe 😁

And the lad from Watford in the B Team.

Bailey loaned to Stockport till January and Morton to FGR for the season. My God our recruitment is woeful at times

And as JE85 and I wanted we've signed Declan John from Bolton. Really pleased with that one and the Ingram loan, we look strong at FB now. Loan till January but hopefully he does well and we can hang onto him
