    Yeah Johnston can't be relied upon; He's not even been in the team long enough to be considered a first team regular so there is no way I'd be pinning our season on him performing.

    Why buy the Greek if Ange plans on Kyogo playing through the middle for the majority of the season?

    I think a lot of people are being unrealistic about the size of squad we can accommodate both from the manager and the boards point of view. Having three first team players for every position is not feasible so going forward I think considering Abada seems to have the right nailed down you’ll see Forrest Johnston Kyogo rotate there and if there was an injury crisis young Montgomery can cover there too. The most pressing gaps in the squad is in the attacking midfield as we know Rogic will get injured and if he does who is the replacement? * forbid rogic and Turnbull are out at the same time even.

    Ideally another centre half comes in and we sign a central midfielder to replace Christie but I feel we will wait till January to fill the midfield void.

    At the end of the day the board can be criticised for a lot of things but they’ve brought in over ten players and considering there is a new CEO who is trying to make a lot of changes in the background allegedly I think this window is pretty near as good as we could’ve hoped for

    It was Ange that said we were short on players. He said the players were running on empty and needed help. We can't count guys that are always injured as options when they are barely available. There are question marks over Forrest and Johnston both where injured most of last season and already this season.

    We have let much more players go than we've brought in so I don't think the board should be getting off lightly.

    The board shouldn’t be getting off at all. They’ve done an inadequate amount of business and the business they did do was far too late.

    * the board, incompetent *.

    Well we could end the day with 12 new players at the club, maybe even more.

    The biggest mistake the board made was the time they spent chasing Howe!
    It's a bit difficult to buy players for a system when you don't have a manager and know what system he wants to play.

    Not sure what the issue was with Howe, the transfer budget? His own staff not being allowed? He was waiting for a job in the EPL?
    Whatever it was we should have moved on much sooner and got a manager in place sooner.

    Anyway, if we get the Greek guy and Jota, I would still like to see a CB even if it was on loan and a CM, however doubtful it is I will wait until the window closes and wait in hope.

    I will say though, we were never going to sort every position in one window, certainly not 2 players fighting it out for every position, we are making the steps in the right direction, it's not just getting the right players in but getting the wrong players out, we seem to be doing both well, we've bought some real talent and got rid of players that don't want to be here.
