With regards to your thoughts on attendances, unless we can sort out our defensive problems, the fans will stay away in ever increasing numbers.
However, should we obtain the required players as stated, and introduce a training regime where we can keep going for 90 minutes instead of about 70 ( and more often than not capitulating at that point) fans will be enticed back.

Exactly what been said by a number of us for the past 3 months at least and yet now this. No defending what has been going on at the club with the way it is being stripped. It’s turning into a glorified amateur set up.

Merry Christmas Fatfan, we are in danger of belittling everything else that the club is doing, so our criticisms need to be proportionate.
We've had a few 4-0 results this season, but we've also had too many absolutely dreadful results as a result of poor defending and that needs to be addressed.
Let's allow the club the opportunity to do that in the January window.
I firmly believe that if we had reliable goalkeeper, a decent centre half and a no nonsense defender of the Aaron Muirhead type, we would win 75% of our matches and that would guarantee a top 4 finish - if not 2nd place.
We're not that far away, but 3 or 4 strong recruits could turn this season round rapidly.
