Forget what other clubs are doing (as hard as that is to do, and I'm as guilty as anyone of focusing too much on the opposition). And forget what happened in this division last season (as hard as that is to do when constantly reminded of it - as though all of this is new to us) .

In my opinion, the best "business" we could do this January is retain Iverson and Barlasser.

The signing of Hakeeb Adelakun is, on paper, an excellent one. If hes half the player I saw play for Scunny then he's good. He's very good.

Because of the excellent and thorough preparations put in during the Summer, we're in the "cherry on top" situation rather than buying bags of cake mix. I dont buy into the "Kyle Vassell is the next coming" mantra (he picks up every transfer window), so I'd still like to see another striker. George Hirst continues to be mentioned (loan from Leicester). And if I'm greedy, a wily old ceoty in central midfield (to do the job McDonald was obviously brought in to do).

We're obviously not Runaway Champions material, but we've now seen every other side and (bar Oxford at home) nobody has looked significantly better than us.
