The squad is pretty small, we needed numbers anyway IMHO. We have lost Browne and Hall for most of the season and currently have Tav, Dijksteel and Fry out injured (to whatever extent). Coupled with our obvious weaknesses in quality, finishing, pace and creativity, we need more players.
The flipside of this is obviously we don't know how hard hit Gibbo and the club are with both Covid reducing income and Brexit maybe effecting Bulkhaul too.
I'd assumed (hoped) with us nestled in the top six earlier in the season Gibbo might have thought the risk / reward of at a crack at the PL money tree was worth a punt.
I can only assume our utter lack of activity so far, barely any credible links to players and the likelihood of lockdown continuing will make him take a suck it and see and reassess at the end of the season approach.
I do think we'll get a loan in and that will be it.
If we only sign one player, the squad is worse off in numbers from the start of the season, and leaves us a couple of injuries away from really struggling.
But, I have to assume that despite some horrendous appointments and insane money wasting transfer business Gibbo has our best interests as a club at heart.
I hate the transfer window. They should just make it a week as 90% of it goes down in the last week anyway.
UTB in Warnock we trust
