Thought he looked quite good when he came on, Harrison has had enough chances now and while he looks tidy, isn't very productive.
Roberts is our player too and will benefit from playing time. Not much to lose really.
Everyone tends to sheet themselves as soon as we lose a game, it's normal. But I think we are good enough for autos without signing anyone in January.
I would prefer us make life easier though and sign a winger and keeper.
If we are short of cash could we sign someone similar to Sancho on loan from the top clubs? Reiss Nelson, Callum Hudson Odoi, Eddie Nkethia? Not my preference at all as more often than not loans don't work out. I do think that is the clubs fault though. Tend to take loans on as a cheap option than might pay off. Rather than sign the player because you really believe they will improve the side.
Same with keeper. Would take Heaton, Darlow on loan. or Sign Westwood on a free.
Don't think we need to sign a defender anymore. Not going to sign anyone to start ahead of Cooper and Jansson and how good is a loan player going to be that's been sent to sit on the bench?
Start Roberts?

That's great and all. The aim of any transfer window should be to improve on certain players. But we have a squad of like 18, so we need to keep all of those, instead of getting rid of players for hypothetical replacements who might not fit the system and might not be better than what we already have.

You would hope the ONLY players we are looking at would fit the system nowadays...

But there's no guarantee that those players would be available. We already need 2 players at minimum, and we don't need to complicate that by replacing players that don't need replacing.

Why don’t they need replacing....
If they add nothing then why not try and replace with players that do something?

Because those players are plucked from fantasy land. You've made them up and when asked to give realistic examples you've floundered.
Not to mention the disruption that it might cause.
Absolutely nonsensical to get rid of players at this stage of the season, especially when we have 12 senior players currently fit!

YES start Roberts

WE have 1st team players coming back from injury so it is just like new signings. We have gotten this far with out them ? & with them back we will be promoted

I think we will too. Would like to see us improve the squad if possible though. As long as it doesn’t endanger the club financially I don’t see why not.
Would hate to fall a couple of points short and wonder what could have been.
Could do with replacing Saiz.

f we do not sign any1 & we go up loads will have their noses put out. If we don't sign any1 & we don't go up, then the vultures will circle. If we we sign some1 & we go up they will say I told you so yadda yadda yadda, hind sight etc.....

If we go up I will be delighted.
If we don't go up I will be gutted.
Either way I will be too drunk to type on here anyway.
