100%, let’s hope for another piece of decent news!

Sounds good to me.

Yes but he seems like a 10 than a deep-lying playmaker? could be wrong though.

fleetwood and carlisle I reckon. Charlton? in freefall, no manager and played more. Any of the bottom 10 could fill the other 2 spots, but it could be any of those teams. I think we'll be safe with a cushion of games to play, we just can't keep giving freebies away to teams who can't beat anyone else (carlisle, shrewsbury etc.)

weir for thomas = happy gore for devine = happy williams for balmer = happy but we surely can't go without a replacement for Arblaster?

Let’s not waste time playing him out of position, the realising where he works best 2 games before the end of the season.

Yes and even though Balmer didn’t quite come off, he’s still in that bracket of attracting young premier league talent that other L1 clubs were probably in for. I’d love to know how many we beat for Arblaster.

What are peeps expecting from Gore. assuming Arblaster > Devine, where does he fit in? ^ Blaster, in between, below Devine? I expect he’ll be somewhere between passing wise, slightly more lightweight than Alfie, but be more of a goal threat than either. We’ll see. If he signs. Maybe he has signed, I haven’t checked.

See he was that memorable forgot his name already.

Weir is the replacement for Gordon? (happy) Williams for Balmer (happy) Just need to replace Devine, Arblaster and maybe Uche now! And Conlon, and maybe Cass.

I'd be amazed if Williams starts 5 games.

So Weir has gone from not being able to get a game to being needed to play across the entire midfield alone. What a turnaround.

If Devine can go to Plymouth, Arblaster can go to the top of the Championship.

Flitters says that is “great experience”

We always say about our players “he won’t be going anywhere in January as he’s injured”, but we sign injured players all the time, so maybe someone will take ours.

If we played on paper, rather than being made of paper, we’d be unstoppable. Clark Debrah Rhys Yak Grant/Plant

Can’t see us getting a centre back unless one leaves. By my count we have 7, DJ not far off a return and Debrah only short term, that means everyone will be available. Cass obviously looks to moving so that might mean he can be replaced.

Uche, Wilson and Loft as the only strikers will not be the plan I’m sure. I always saw Thomas as a 10, but we have 3 decent ones and that’s with Devine dropping back to fill the Blaster role, so he’d be 4th choice. Meanwhile we are short of out and out strikers who can do the business consistently. I reckon we’ll be signing someone to finally lead the attack, and then have Uche off the bench to harass tired defenders into the ground.

Good age, league experience, league 1 success, good injury record, covering a position we always need support with, some nice goals, potential to sign permanently, another Prem club trusting us, deal done in early Jan, most likely was being eyed by other league 1 clubs, fantastic first signing.

Is it a Dundee-l?

The most likely player to be sold in this transfer window is Cashin at Derby.

Get rid of our worst players, retain our best players and sign players better or at least as good as our current best players.

Garrity is averaging nearly 1 in 3 from midfield. Looking like 10-15 easy for the season. 1/2 mil for him would be a nice return for a player signed as a L2 fringe player.

The best squad business we could do in January is in-house. Secure Walters on a 5 year deal, and then proceed to give him time off the bench regularly. Highlight that we can offer Arblaster stability, playing time and development and emphasise he enjoys playing here - to ensure he stays. Map out a clear plan of action for Devine to convince Spurs to let him carry on developing here. Sort out cover for Clark and rotate a few parts = even better. But those 3 points above alone would make it a successful January.

That was coming.
