We've signed 2 defenders so can't see another one coming in.
Maybe Paul Gallagher is happy playing a back 3.

But we've played a back three all season and we've shown we don't have any wing backs to play that system!!!

I’d be very surprised if we don’t; might just depend what happens with Stanway as to what level
You’d expect at least another 1 striker on loan probably, still think we need a right back or a right wing back if we are sticking with the 5 at the back idea (arguably need a left wing back as well the form Jackson’s been in as well if we were being greedy)

Completely agree with every point.

A lot happens in the last 3 or 4 days of a transfer window so I'd expect things to happen then. We've certainly cleared a few out & Worrall has now retired (so his wages may have changed slightly). I'd expect another defender and attacker & as others have said & much might depend on the Stanway situation also.

Wouldn't be surprised if Stanway went at the very last minute!

Wonder if the gaffer is looking at trying to get a couple of loans from Preston/Blackburn. The RB came from Blackburn on loan the other year looked quite good till he got injured

He’s out in the states playing in the MLS

Gallagher has said he’s looking to sign another attacking player think somthing is needed to assist Rose as having 2 10s isn’t the answer

He wouldn’t be my choice but Stockton’s name mentioned again In the Sunday morning Nixon rumours. He alleges Stocktons frustration with Salford regarding Barrow move

What I get from that is he wants to come which is half the battle.

He wasn’t in the squad yesterday in the Bristol game

Stockton on his way. Lump on it.

Stockton & Rose both journeyman in league 2 both around 32 I think but stockon is better than cameron hemmings walker defo and so is Rose both experienced and have track record for goals at this level see Cook Scored for Grimsby i reckon he will bag around 6/7/8 goals by end of season in 20 games remaining league 2 is cookies level even at 35 he a handful will we get that return from Rose i hope so
