    I think all in all a good deadline day. A good prospect, another goalkeeper permanently and a striker who we've been chasing all summer

    Obviously our squad isn't perfect, but Johnson said it's a 3 window process. We've got more than enough to be top half roughly by January

    Stan Collymore on Twitter has asked how would you rate your club's transfer window?

    I'd give it 6. Frustrating but still got some good players in

    What would others give?

    I'd give it 3 or 4. We signed one player when we know we need a left winger, at least one striker and a left back. U don't count the young lad for the development squad because even Johnson says he looks forward to seeing him play for heckingbottom

    I'll have to agree with SuperTyke. Priority 1 got but on loan, no winger and no left back. Job half done

    I'd rate our dealings a very weak 4. Still no cover in essential positions and another bloody loan

    You wouldn't give it a ten?

    Are you sure you're a proper supporter?

    2 ...

    we have a guy on loan & another one who played non league at Glouster, who is 20 ...

    keeper is a good signing

    result - weakest Barnsley FC squad since 1976

    Give over - I'll give it a 6.5. 6 is pessimistic, but 7 sounds like a happy clapper.

    Look at all of the players we've signed: nobody looks to be deadwood apart from perhaps Wilkinson (young, give him time). LJ wanted a smaller squad of high quality young players, and I think he's assembled just that.

    Some say we need a left back, but I'd like to see Smith given the chance to perform. We might be short of a winger, but it doesn't look like LJ plays with them anyway!

    My main criticism is that we've got too many loan players, but considering we'll hopefully have a chance to sign most of them permanently then I'm not too distressed about that!

    I think it's been pretty poor.

    Going into the season with an unbalanced squad.

    We've signed a striker on loan who we were after over a month ago when we've been desperate for a other forward these past few weeks. Why did it take so long?

    And he's on loan meaning we've got the ridiculous issue of having to leave a loanee out of the squad each week and if we do get injuries to a centre back, forward or winger we'll have to bring in another loanee due to the lack of depth in them areas & that'll mean 2 missing out.

    All round bad planning & no experience brought in.

    I am happy with Mawson & Roberts so I'll give it a 3.
