If you include Henderson and Comley I think that's 10 signings in the month
Yussuf, Gunning, Asante, Osborne, Clements, Maxwell, Jones, Dyson
1 GK, 1 CD, 5 MF, 3 FW
Have I forgotten anyone?
Seems about right given that the defence was solid, midfield weak and we were always going to lose Bogle. Apart from no obvious wide players it looks pretty solid, and MB said there were no suitable wingers available.

As a self described holding central midfielder, Luke can also cover the left hand side of the pitch bringing balance, energy and physicality that the manager has been searching for. "I sit and protect the back four, look to get on the ball, keep the ball ticking over and win my tackles", described Maxwell. "I've been playing as centre back as well, I prefer centre midfield but I can fit in at centre back as well if needed".

Winger sounds like a bit of a stretch, but hey, if so even better

I suspect at home we will now play

        Henderson

Mills Pearson Collins Andrew.

                Comley
    Osborne.          Maxwell

yussuf.                   Jones
                 Asante.    


I think he may stick with a 3-5-2 away from home that has been largely successful. Plenty of options with this squad now

have to say i'm feeling a bit pessimistic about the rest of the season. this is now an incredibly inexperienced squad; unless gunning, davies and vernon are played regularly, we only have collins with any proper experience of league football.
the sooner we get the 11 points we need for safety, the happier i will be.

We do not need 11 if we get another 2 wins that should be enough. 45pts will be plenty.

I can never remember so many incomings mid season and in comings that have such a varied level of experience. I know that Marcus and his team know these players but I wonder what criteria they measured the likes of Asante, Osborne, Dyson, Maxwell and Jones to say they will do a job in the FL.? Just plain instinct from MB perhaps or do they apply a bit more science to it these days.

I reckon that the rest of the season will be "stop, start" which would have been the same if Hurst had stayed with his squad anyway, so if nothing else this window has whipped up a bit of excitement off the pitch anyway!
