The deadline is 11pm tonight, maybe we should all wait until 11:01pm to fully panic.
EDIT - also on your point about everyone not being convinced by our one fit striker…. I am 🙋🏻‍♂️ 
Have been a fan of Collins since he signed, he’s hard working and scores goals as he has done all his career. 18 and counting for the season, 13 in the league, I’m convinced.

Announcing Adams today means there’s almost definitely a forward, otherwise I reckon they’d have saved it to try and quell the disappointment tomorrow.
How quickly this came out the blue means it’s hopefully someone not mentioned yet as the names don’t really inspire so far. 

Have the club had @Big Travassassinated?

Wasnt that a friendly though, abit different to a competitive game

Even the ITK’s sources didn’t get a sniff…very odd 🤔

We were under restrictions to just a starter and small plate main. Sent in and signed off by the efl 

Unfortunately I don't have any confidence that we can compete with any of our direct rivals at the moment, when it comes to attracting players. 

What, and a pudding?

They had to settle for fish fingers and chips from the kids menu.

Yes it seems odd and surprisingly underhand.  Not having a dig at DC because it is his choice whether to throw more money at this.  Lower expectations = lower season ticket revenue? 

In the grand scheme of things, there's plenty of time left. How many deals get done on the last day (tomorrow)? Happens every bloody year, like last minute Christmas shopping.

Warne admitting that last years January killed us off. Repeats trick.
But its the fans fault for being entitled. 
Dress it up how you want but Bolton and Pompey have had better windows and arguably Posh's squad is better anyway so play offs it is.

I don’t know about Shambolic , but we do know , we have a 4 year plan . If we wanted to go up strong like Ipswich , would we be paying top wages to ageing players with injury issues? We look to be “ Steadying the Ship “. 

More "poorly used" than "limited"

Can't wait for the meltdown tonight from some of the babies that don't realise that deadline day is tomorrow.

Let’s see what happens, but I think we have to be prepared for the reality of our limited finances.

yes in L1 with a new manager if we don't get a couple in ...its football and we need players  in as Warne has said himself 

Because across the entirety of the known football world, our only strategy is to get the Rotherham band back together. It beggars belief.

I think them 6 players that Warne wanted have all been a gamble. The latest rumour news is we are still talking to Sheff Weds about having Mike Smith or Lee Gregory on loan, it all stinks of deseperation by Warne. He stated in an interview he wants to bring youngster in and is looking at either a 32 yr od or a 35 yr old. He sent Brown off to Gateshead at a time when we only have one fit striker. I don't get it with his thinking. All 3 strikers out injured and he also wanted to send Weston out on loan (I think he refused). Please sumbody wrap Collins up in cotton wool.

We brought in upwards of 6 players in the summer with either an injury joining or have been heavily injury prone in the past. Tell me where the smart management is in that? Why keep harping on in interviews that you want pace power and athletism and to bring the age down and then go out and look at players who’s profile are the complete opposite and older than what we already? Instead of spouting the warne fault blah blah at least validate your point!  
 
granted cbt fits the profile but Gregory certainly doesn’t and is a player I really don’t like the look of injury record wise and last time was here had there season cut short by February having only joined in January 

I wouldn’t say we are a comfortable 4th to be fair there’s only 6 points from us to 6 and 7 points to 7th who have 2 games in hand. An injury to Collins with no backup and we are going to struggle to keep the playoffs but may just maintain it. If performances were better and we looked more comfortable in games I’d tend to agree with you but to expect Collins to play the next 19 games in his own is criminal we don’t know how waghorn and Washington will be when they come back. They will likely be back around march and then have to build minutes. And no I don’t want us chucking millions or even higher than half a millions. It’s about time this recruitment guy from Oxford started showing us why clowes bought him to the club and got creative 

I suppose where that plan falls down is players have to generate interest and also have to be willing to go.
I think we could do with 1-2 more like everyone else, but I don’t agree with signings for the sake of it.
We might just have to go with what we have and see if and how the injuries ease up.

My guess is that is what he is doing, but our manager keeps turning players down.
 

Was the scout from Oxford meant to have done wondrous things on a low budget hence the reason we got him?
shouldn’t he be unearthing diamonds from non league ala Phil Gee and get us out of the dog forsaken wasteland of a league 😭
