    Not for me the lack of ambition was shown by not recruiting the 8 players we needed.

    8 players? But much we lost 3 players but needed to replace them with 8? No thanks I'd rather have quality over quantity.

    So Players and replacements
    Morsey - replaced by James
    Bree - replaced by Jones
    Hourihane - I think was planned to be replaced by Moncur - but didnt work so replaced with Mowatt
    Winnall - replaced up front by Bradshaw
    Additional Hedges and Elder, also we effectively have Williams as a new player

    We are maybe missing 2 additional players in an ideal world but where do you get 8 missing from?

    Going into the window majority of people including Heckingbottom agreed we needed a striker, two central midfielders, and a left back, then we lost 5 players so yeah I'd say we needed 8,

    Yes but a name for a name is not a replacement is it

    If they'd signed me up and I'd said I'd play in midfield with your logic Conor's boots are filled.

    I'm fairly sure if we still had Winnall we wouldn't need another striker. We may have needed 1 extra central midfielder so losing 2 signing 2 still leaves us 1 short granted. We needed a left back, and we signed 2 players who can play there, plus the breakthrough of Evans who looks easily good enough

    And who are the 5 players we lost?
    Winnall
    Morsy
    Bree
    Hourihane
    ???

    Are you counting Yiadom?? He'll be back next week...

    We brought in 5 and we're maybe missing 2 additional players so that's 7 that's not a million miles away from 8 is it pal ?

    It just means an opportunity for Callum Evans and other youngsters. And when has that been such a bad thing this past few years?

    Barry sent Jim for some custard creams and he came back with rich tea.
    He didn't stand a chance.

    We did not need a striker when we had Winnall, Bradshaw, Armstrong, Payne and Watkins

    We do now, and it's something we'll have to sort in the summer. But hopefully Bradshaw, Armstrong, Watkins and Hedges along hopefully with Brown will be good enough, and I think they can be

    By sounds of hedges interview he said he is a winger and that's his best/favourite position. Listening to Marley's he thinks he is a striker and would score 20 goals in this league. I think we will see Marley,bradshaw,armstrong and brown as the strikers for rest of the season. We could have done with another striker but if we were unable to bring one in which improves the squad I'd rather we just waited until the summer. Think we dodged a bullet with bogle.

    It's like reading a nonsense rhyme. If we haven't suffered from not having a CEO, why do we need one?

    possibly because you can cover anything short term but its not sustainable long term?
