Aidan Stone (miss)
Dan Crowley (outstanding)
David McGoldrick (good)
Will Randall (horrendous)
Lewis Macari (good)
Jodi Jones (outstanding)
Scott Robertson (good)
Dan Gosling (horrendous)
Alassana Jatta (yet to know)

That’s not a bad success rate overall tbh, especially if Jatta turnes out well.
Still, it says something about our overall philosophy or strategy that in January, with us being the top-scorers in the division but with one of the worst defences, we went out and signed an unknown striker and not a solid, experienced centre back and a keeper who can actually do the basics.

The problem isn't necessarily who we've signed, it's who we haven't. We needed to fix the issues that were apparent last season, but we didn't. We handed multiyear contracts to players who aren't good enough at this level. When we had another chance to fix these issues in January, we didn't. It makes me wonder if our philosophy is to blame, as we seem to have such huge blind spots when it comes to what's actually needed to improve the team and results.
