Looks like no new signings ahead of a vital game. Very surprised at this. Of course its offset by the fact that Holloway would probably have brought in 10 players of intercourse all ability by now.....

Worrying that we shipped out, albeit poor players on the whole, we have no one in yet, one week into the window.

You make a good point first sentence. The rest is irrelevant, it's in the past, we move on, go forward. UTM.

Id much rather no rushed signings, and we bring in 1 or 2 class signings than 4 or 5 mediocre/poor players

People need to be patient. Better that we wait a game or two extra for the right player than panic and bring in someone excrement for the sake of it (which was largely Holloway’s recruitment process).

Completely agree, Hollowhead Would no doubt have made three signings by this point. I would rather have none done the quality of signings that that idiot made

Interesting article from Codalmighty about player recruitment.

http://codalmighty.com/site/ca.php?article=7787


Although we weren't really acquaintances I used to go to school with the Boston United scout mentioned in this article, he was in the year below me. Funnily enough he is or was a massive vocal Lincoln City fan and would not hide his hate for the "Codheads" at school, granted this was the late 90's and turn of the millennium, but last time I saw him it was no more than a decade ago and he was at the time still a season ticket holder at Sincil Bank as I believe he had been for many years through mutual friends. I was completely shocked and nearly fell off my chair when I saw his picture on the Boston website next to Macca and in their team photo. Obviously done well for himself in his role, but it would be simply staggering if he ever ended up working for Town.

No worries here - PH will still be assessing what he's got - no point in bringing in new for the sake of it.
Who he eventually brings in will have to be a lot better than IH left us with.

Daft as it may seem, together PH and deputy dawg could make a better fist of what we have now than Run Run Runaway, as he did with no hope Shrewsbury.

My thoughts too... We will undoubtedly see incomings this month but I'm confident in the coaching abilities of Hurst and Doig to inject some structure and gameplan into what we have and improve their performances as a team... Peppered with some quality signings.

Naive perhaps, but I'm not concerned!
