    Thats all we need now. Pretty solid team i reckon with a Championship standard forward. God knows who like, but in Hecky we trust

    Hammill, Izzy and Hedges with Moncur maybe dropping in as cover, when he gets his act together that is

    I still think that we’re a keeper, central midfielder, two wingers and a striker short.

    2 central midfielders
    A winger perhaps 2
    A goalkeeper

    I would like a winger, CM, GK and Striker and provided they are all ready to challenge first team straight away that would be a cracking window.

    Can see us losing Yiadom now this LB has come in. Which given the form he’s shown last few games is a real shame. In this kind of form he’s one of the best full backs in the league.

    Do you not think we have central midfield covered with Williams & Gardner ? & we already have three wingers , surely we only require one more, especially with hopefully Mottly- Henry emerging , but agree with you about striker not about the goalkeeper

    Can't believe you've missed Potts off that list, a proper winger if ever there was one. Compared to him, the rest are just mudbloods.

    Definitely need two wingers. Priority for me. Also signing a DM on a permanent if possible.

    Hedges is injured and Isgrove is very injury prone.

    No way we can go 5 months with 3 wingers at the club.

    We also desperately need another keeper. As well as strengthening a few other areas.

    Think it's essential we sign a striker with real pace.

    Are we and Yiadom missing a trick in not re inventing him in to a central midfielder.
    His value and worth could be higher, he looks to have the ability etc. I'm sure he plays or played CM for Ghana, lots of training time to help him adjust to that position and for this weekend he to me looks our only decent option there. Stick the new lad in at left back and you never know Yids could be a revelation in the middle.

    I aint a manager but like I said, in Hecky we trust. I'm sure he has a target for each position in mind right now. Just my opinion that as we've been keeping clean sheets recently, a good finisher up front will make us a decent outfit. Obviously we could do with a lot of new faces, but I'd personally like to see another striker come in next

    Hedges is currently injured and has been more effective from the bench as opposed to when starting games.

    Isgrove appears rather injury prone which is such a shame as he’s crucial to our plans.

    I honestly haven’t seen DMH play so I can’t comment.

    Re the goalkeeper, I don’t think that Townsend provides effective competition or a viable alternative. I think for our success and Davies’ development it’s essential that he’s challenged and pushed in order that he improves/maintains the optimum levels of performance.

    As for a CM. Both Gardner and Williams are on loan. If a quality CM becomes available who’ll improve the XI/squad as a permanent transfer then I’d take that in a heartbeat.

    Ball winning, tackling midfielder? Someone who can lead and organise on the pitch is absolutely needed. The team is severely lacking in this area

    We definitely need to strengthen central midfield. We have no one who can play a box to box role and very little creativity. As for wingers try as he might Hammill is ineffective and Izzy injury prone and Hedges injured. Potts playing their shows now limited we are. We are creating virtually nothing in most games the whole midfield needs a shake up.

    Yep.
    And at least another tall striker.
    And at least one defensive midfielder.

    I saw DMH play for Tranmere & I know the standard is a lot lower but he was excellent & Williams & Gardner are on loan for the season so that position could be looked at in the summer although I would like us to sign Gardner on a permanent & I would not be surprised if that happened this month & I suppose its not beyond the realms of possibility that Barnes might return
