I don’t want to sound negative…

I think we'll get another decent midfielder in before the window closes. Don't think any of the young lads you mentioned are ready to step up (Hackney, Boyd munce, gibson, conteh). Seems like Hackney is the closest and he didn't have a great loan at Scunthorpe last year. Think a lot of the younger players should hopefully go out on loan as the window closes.
 
Crooks, McGree, Howson, McNair, Boyd-Munce [Gibson, Hackney, Conteh from the reserves] to fill 3 spots. Quite tame really. I think we definitely need 1 more, but i agree i think CW is more focused on Greaves & forwards and if we don't get midfielders he isn't fussed. Putting alot on Howson, unproven McGree and McNair whose been playing in defence for years.
I'm pretty sure he's wanting at least one midfielder, there's no basis for suggesting he isn't bothered about this
 
Given only the main starting 3 of Howson, Crooks and McGree have any experience at all I think it would be dangerous not to replace Tav and Payero

If we get an injury you’re already looking at kids on the bench, two and your up the creek. Midfield is paramount for me

Not that fussed about another CB but we need at least another forward, in addition to Hoppe- both him and Forss will take a while to get and up to speed and with Coburn out and Watmore carrying an injury it again leaves us short of options

To be honest it’s pretty ridiculous how thin and small our squad is.
 
Well know pretty soon that our squad is too light. It could be because of injuries but it might also be being overrun in some of the next 4 or 5 games. The least well kept secret is the L CB position as Wilder has constantly talked about it for months. If we harbour any desire of promotion a ball winning central midfielder is essential. McGree doesn't fill me with confidence and our supply options are weaker than ever now that Tavernier and Payero have been allowed to go. As for strikers we need two more but are likely to be waiting until 11 on window closing to have any more options than Forss, Akpom and Hoppe. Only time will tell on their success rate.
 
Yes we need 2 midfielders and another forward. I think everyone has got themselves excited for this season and if we don't start well there will be trouble.
It's not just not starting well. If we wait until deadline day we're 7 games in. That's a huge chunk of the season and then the players have to settle in. We'll be quarter of the way through the season with cobbled together lineups. Season could be over before we're even ready to get started.

I can’t believe more people can’t see this. We are already 5 points behind the leaders, albeit the season is only 2 games old but who knows how many points we will drop between now and September 1st cos the squad isn’t strong enough.

Precisely this - playing catch up before we’ve even got our squad together. Píss poor from the recruitment set up as usual, failing to bring players in before the season starts. Shambolic really

Everyone can see it, but many clubs are in the same position. Other teams will lose first teamers in the coming weeks. Nobody knows when players will come in or how many points we'll have by the deadline, so there's no point in banging on about it after 2 matches
 
Bausor again

Our recruitment has been utter dog **** since he took over .

West Brom , Fulham , Watford , Norwich etc none of those clubs are bigger than us yet they constantly challenge for promotion while we languish in **** from poor club management .

Late and **** recruitment meant we squandered the parachute money without ever looking like we could go up
 
It's all very well blaming our recruitment, but the real problem is the end of the transfer window.

Precisely - how can we ever hope to achieve anything with a Fred Carno type recruitment setup. Same old same old - every year we all hope things will change but they never do
