    There's no one else coming in is there?

    And getting rid of the deadwood looks more unlikely as well.

    What a depressing transfer window.

            Would certainly help detract from the inevitable backlash, once the quirky kit is revealed. Unless, it’s an injury prone/ freebie, which would be peak Luton, taking the piss!

            Notice Ipswich have been busy bringing in players; maybe opened the door for a couple of exits in our direction?

        One Walsh mistake away from 6th place and 2 points off the top.

            If you keep repeating the same crap over and over it does not make it true.

            No one is expecting a one window fix.

                Defence.
                Midfield or attack.

                You are correct on me missing it.

                Goalie is an improvement.

                  Goalkeeper is an upgrade.

                  Midfield is better.

                  Attack is not much different (I see not a huge difference between Morris and Yates, once the latter is up to speed).

                  Defence is the big issue, we've ended up with too many good CBs and no FBs, forcing us to play a formation that isn't necessary at this level and leaves the attack lacking any edge.

                    yeah pretty much agree with that although yes the midfield is better, imo its still relatively weak.

                    I don't think anyone expects a one window fix Crumps. I would say it's just the lack of quality signings and funds which are made available to MB which are rubbing people up the wrong way.

                    Also, is there a problem with our medical team when it comes to new signings.That isn't a criticism, it's a genuine question.

                    Personally I've never, ever booed any of our players as i think it's not constructive and poor to players morale but there are still questions that need to be answered.

                      The Trust Interviews are very informative on both medical and recruitment, among other 'behind the scenes' areas

                      Unfortunately some people (not aimed at you) ask questions then don't bother listening to/reading the responses.

                      As an aside, of course there are questions about both areas - and I'm not sure the club are always in a position to reply.

                      But the finance thing, for instance, was covered very comprehensively in the Trust report back on the accounts

                          The Trust conduct and write them.

                          There is no control over questions asked, nor copy content, from the club aside from obviously the final version being approved as not having any confidential or commercially sensitive content. The person being interviewed has the biggest say, of course, over what goes into the articles - they are intended to be 'their voice'.

                          The interviews with GS last season were based around Trust members being asked in advance what they wanted to be covered. And the Interviewees are selected with reference to what Trust members (and the general fanbase too, but specifically members) have been asking about and what is thought to be of interest to fans.

                        Several goals away as well which are unlikely to come any time soon but every likelihood that Walsh will make many more mistakes.

                          It's a physical league. Walsh is not suited to it. One hand on his shoulder and he's pulled off the ball - it's not enough for a foul but it winds him up. He's Conference at best.

                              Cant agree more, people are screaming out about a lack of fulls backs (and they arent wrong) but I think we are just as weak in center midfield as well, Saville is screaming out for a competent partner in there.

                                I can see the need for creativity hence Walsh but he's not the man to do it. I haven't noticed Baptiste as much as I expected to be honest - which usually means he's doing the dirty unseen work. So not creative either.

                                A few have suggested Naismith who has some tricks, can go past people and has a pass in him.

                                  At times I just dont get the recruitment strategy to be honest, we had a squad that was cb heavy in number and quality for this level, we are supposedly trying to recruit to play 4 at the back, thus in theory not needing as many Cb's yet we signed 3 more players who are primarily cb's. Why did we not prioritise other positions where we were short on number's or quality?

                                    MB said recently that it's an evolving team/squad. So he's not happy with what he has at the moment. He could help himself by dropping Walsh and writing Walters off who is Conference level too.

                                    Looking at it purely from a manager's perspective, you don't just buy what is available to appease the fans. You sometimes have to wait for the right player to come along - It took Pleat from 1978 to 1981 to add the last piece, Nobby Horton. So a bit of improvement already, more before Monday evening, more in January and so on. Stay in touch with the top 6 until January and sign more then - e.g. players out of contract in the summer will become available.

                                      yes i get that but what is the rationale in signing 3 more CB's when we already had a squad that had a surplus of CB's for the system we "supposedly" want to play? As the squad was at the time and where it wants to be it was basically 3 wasted signings at that moment in time, we didnt need 1 cb, never mind 3.

                                  Be fair MG.

                                  We haven’t yet signed players who can be played in the favoured formation of the manager. Something he has stated twice in the last week.

                                  Secondly, only Keeley has done enough to be a proven first team starter.

                                  We need to be setting a high bar for sucess.

                                    So why haven't we signed players that fit Bloomfields preferred formation? (assuming this is 4 at the back). We have made 10 signing iirc, that's nearly half a squad, when if playing a 4 is where we want to be, with a squad that could be argued was center back heavy already, have 3 of these signings been primarily center backs, of which, Naismith being one can be be argued only really fits a 3, so why sign him? Granted we don't know the full picture but some of this just doesn't make sense at times.

                                      Keeley looks like an excellent acquisition.

                                      Saville is an absolutely obvious starter in my book.

                                      Wells and Yates should be a very decent partnership in this division.

                                      I don't see Mengi as deadwood, not yet, depends on whether he's up for it.

                                      A couple of the others should prove good players but in my book it's too early to judge and anyone doing so isn't being exactly "fair".

                                        Personally. It’s more important we get the Premier League signed players off the books

                                          Saville looks a good acquisition, as does Wells.

                                          I agree entirely that not signing FBs is a rather ridiculous oversight.

                                            Agreed Saville has done better than any of the others but if we are setting a bar for automatic promotion then better is needed even from Saville.

                                            Wells had three key chance on Saturday and had he been able to convert we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation.

                                              I'll confess I was abroad at the weekend so haven't seen the Cardiff game (and somehow don't have a burning desire to watch the highlights..).

                                              Concerning if Wells is missing the chances. Though if we're being positive, at least he had chances to miss!

                                              Saville looks a good signing not convinced about Wells

                                                I think he's got a bit of quality (e.g. Wimbledon's OG was largely down to a great pass from him).

                                                I think him and Wells up front in a 2 might work. But then we'd probably need to play 4 at the back and let's not start that again!

                                          Which is complete contrary to what was said during press conference yesterday.

                                          I would imagine waiting till the window shuts before being any further doom and gloom

                                            Bloomfield said he definitely expects more ins and outs before Monday.
