Who do you want coming on for the last 20 minutes when we are 1-0 down Frecks or any other midfielder in our squad - again rhetorical question - the answer is obvious.
We need a striker, an attacking midfielder and a centre half. I doubt whether it will be possible to get quality in during this transfer window - so it will be loans or nothing IMO - a pity that our two highly important home games come at this juncture but being positive, a win and a draw will keep us nicely in the mix and at the beginning of the season that's what most of us were hoping for - a shot at the playoffs with 5 or 6 matches remaining will do nicely.
Reasonably pleasing league position after last seasons debacle - squad gradually being re-set to league one standard doesn't look promising though.
