Annis very disappointing and leaves some unanswered questions? Is bbm unrealistic with targets he said at beginning of window did he have plan B? Did his personality manner get in way considering he spoke of it earlier in window (being fussy) how much of securing any sighnings is down to Ken or tan? (Managed get moylan for a fee) so why not others?... i know we've had same issues previously but always got in 4 or more players so why not now especially when club is on way up and with bit of investment we could be looking at top 8 easily!
I know you blame the board but is it that simple or is there other dynamics involved? It's just so frustrating we couldn't push on with players we all know we needed.

I actually Allan,

Blame the Board and BBM has a lot to answer for and he has got me worried.

BBM after Sheffield United:

"I feel confident [more deals will happen]. We have time yet.

We've been pretty consistent, we want to improve the squad. The players that we've brought in we feel have done that, but there's more to come."

Something doesn't add up yes had small budget but that hasn't stopped other clubs recruiting decent players from abroad!
He as made squad stronger but its far to small to be successful in championship .... it all points to him being to pedantic in choosing players
...we like lots clubs sighn duds but sometimes you need to take the risk and to me thats what bbm as failed to do ... we are now left with main striker and couple of makeshift ones who to be honest is not going to win us games if salech is out injured can see lots draws and mid to low position in league unless miracle happens and avoid any serious injuries to star players.... not likely given nature of championship

Good additions to the squad and no key players gone.

That's quite the spin, saying Moylan isn't a new signing for us because he played for a different club in League One last season

2 new faces in 4 months. Recruitment team and BBM have played a blinder haven't they.

We are being torn apart on social media by those over to our West. So embarrassing!

Very much this - it happens the BBM way or it doesn't happen at all - hence the cementhead reference. Therefore, in this window, it hasn't happened.

Anyone who has worked with him and his team (LR), or knows someone else who has, has the same impression. His 'networks' at Man City and Leicester are kryptonite for attracting new players. Same for the backroom boys.

No key players gone? Kellyman and Wintle were both key players last year. We gained two and lost two

Kellyman I'll accept. Wintle was the manager's decision so not bothered about him going.

What I should have said was no top talent sold.

It doesnt change the fact that we lost two key players from last year -Wintle was player of the year remember. Agree that its good we sold none of our young players, though I am not sure if Lawlor would have remained if he was fit. We will never know

Absolutely no reason to believe Lawlor would have gone Kellyman was a loan so you've got to live with it. BBM decided to let Wintle go he obviously rates Robertson higher

We will in January, assuming he is fit by then.
