Small point but Matete has 7 starts. Also with Mayenese, he may not have many starts either, but what he has have been mostly recent.
On another point, I see Charlton have brought in Jaydon Stockley from Preston, further pushing Bogle down the pecking order. Would be good to get him on loan for the rest of the season.
Listening to the Cox interview as I did yesterday, he mentions how hard it is at the moment to bring in players from higher leagues because clubs are not sharing the financial costs of loans with the way things are at the moment, and they simply can't afford to be paying someone 3 or 4 grand a week wages.
Looking at transfers in the EFL this window, there are definitely a lot fewer than in previous seasons. Think a lot of clubs are being cagey at the moment with covid, no fans and money worries, coupled with salary caps and squad number caps, it's just not moving as it would in a normal season. Clubs want to get players in before they let players out and there seems to be a log jam.

Menayese has spent most his time in the FL and Mayete played 14 times this season for a team that reached the playoffs last season in the league above, not saying they're experienced but hardly as if they're coming without a taste of FL action.
Matete has 1 football league start, I'm not sure many are aware of that. Not saying that you're not a good player if you're coming off the bench for a top half league 1 team at the age of 19 but it seems some people are expecting a lot from this lad based on this headline stat of 14 appearances in league 1. Hopefully we've picked up a gem and he can play with freedom and without fear but for me, he's not a player you look at and say, yes, that's someone who we should be expecting to come in and drag us up.

Bogle started their last match, so he's not that far down the pecking order.

Like I said, wishful/hopeful thinking. They're not players coming in who you look at and you know they'll do a job. Hurst does have a pretty good record and I largely trust him on signings, but it's still a leap to say we're a quick winger away from being well-set to get out of this pickle. Matete has 1 football league start and Menayese 35 at the age of 23. We still have a hell of a lot of players either not good enough or not performing to the levels they should be. I'm just saying it's hard to expect a couple (a few if we sign Chadwick) of inexperienced loanees to come in, perform and drag up the performances of their team mates. I have everything crossed of course but that isn't the same as realisticslly expecting it.
A bit pedantic dissecting things word by word. If we are following such a trait, I actually made the point that we are the signing of the young lad from Hull, Giles Coke and a winger away from having a squad which I believe is capable of steering us to safety. If not him then we clearly still need a striker, as countless posters have pointed out. With those returning from injury and those brought in over the last 6 weeks (Morais included) we have 7/8 new players who could arguably be in the first 11. To return to my point we are 3 players away. A centre midfielder, a striker and a winger. Then, just like you immmariner, everything crossed. But I believe Hurst and Doig would steer us clear IF these additions were made.

you also have to throw the uncertainty over what's happening with the National Leagues into the mix - those 66 clubs would've been involved in transfers both in and out plus taking lower league players on loan
