Is this the first time in yonks that our January signings have actually been any good?
Let's hope he stays fit and continues to play well.

Many have felt that our previous January signings have been 'good' but proven not to be so. Sweeping statements after one game but I think Robertson will make us stronger defensively but not sure he will get forward to the same degree that an on form Aswad would. Remains to be seen if Jolley can get anywhere near his previous level of performance and I have been impressed with Zlatan with two wonderful finishes but equally has had other opportunities where he has just hammered to ball towards goal more in hope than the effort of a natural finisher. Which one is the 'true' Palmer we will have to wait n see

My thoughts exactly. Remember how excited everyone got when Devitt signed and that didn't work out. Need to give them time to bed in before we judge whether it's been a good window.

Having conceded a number of goals down the left hand side in recent weeks at home perhaps having a steadier influence at left back might be a good thing!

This, lets keep our heads a bit, get behind the team and hopefully the new January signings will improve the side unlike previous January signings.

I only saw the highlights of the Eastleigh game but it looked to me as though we were better going forward down the flanks as well with a natural left back and Magnay in his best position on the right. Robertson might turn out to be the most important signing of the three.

IMO I think that the new signings and extending Ollies loan are excellent for the club. This can only help to improve the squad and give PH more headaches about picking his team. Hopefully we will get Pope and Neilsen fully fit to battle for a place in the starting eleven soon and maybe even Aswad will be back to try and get his place back. Things look good, but I still want Barnet and Bristol to lose tomorrow
