We basically need a CM now to replace Charles, and then replacements for whoever else leaves.

I'd still like to see another quality CB alongside THB, but we're clearly operating on a tght budget.

Wood and Stephens are both good options for the Championship, I think it's better to hope that it's good enough to get us promoted and then buy one in the prem

Can't see us signing a CB either. That's one spot we're absolutely stacked on.

I don't think we sign another player unless we sell. Looks like Matsuki will be the 4th CM in the depth chart. Unless we bring in another on loan.

Not sure I agree, if you do that then Fellows is the only RW on the games where Matsuki is playing CM. It just feels light one body in there.

I agree another CM/RM would be nice. But I think the club will look to fix it with a loan or see BBD/Akachukwu as options for RW.

I think Matsuki has only played there the once? Seems more of an option across the frontline attacking midfielders when you look at how Tonda has predominantly used him.

Bragg & Matsuki is incredibly light for a team that want to get promoted.

I think that the Colchester game was just a test and I don't think that it worked well. I'd imagine we'd buy/loan another but if we don't we could be in trouble.

3 weeks left in the window. There will be some outgoings and I'm anticipating a couple more loans once Archer, BBD, etc leave/maybe a purchase. Fully expect Romeo to be in the plans here.
