January was abysmal. I know some people are debating whether any of our transfer windows have been any good but January stands out in a big way for me, this season. We had big problems we didn't solve and actually caused more problems for ourselves. We'd had defender issues all season and sold one without bringing anybody new in to replace them, then naturally all of them got injured. We sold a right winger, brought in someone very different to Doak on that side, then as soon as we lost Doak we lost all width in the team. We continued our long pursuit to bring Ryan Giles back, gave him 5 minutes to find his feet before telling everyone we also spoke with Iling-Junior, a left winger who might actually provide the width we need in attacking areas, about the idea of playing left-back when we brought him in, so it wasn't at all unusual he ended up playing there permanently for the rest of the season. We worked very hard to get the best deal possible for Latte Lath, whilst he continued to work hard for us when called upon, only for us to replace him with a slow, unfit and expensive striker who isn't actually a striker in the eyes of the manager. So much of it was just downright rotten on paper. You might contemplate the effectiveness of the work we've done during Scott's time here but I just don't know what most of what we tried to do in January was meant to accomplish. It doesn't look like Carrick really knew what he was after or that he really cared about what we were doing. The only saving grace from January really is that, whilst he's not shone so far, bringing in Morgan Whittaker in January could be a really good signing for whoever hopefully takes over from Carrick shortly. Perhaps Scott already had that in his mind when pursuing that one. -

Whilst we might think it will cost a lot to make the playoffs, the teams directly above us have all spent less than us (I think) Milwall, Bristol City, Blackburn, Coventry and Sunderland. We just NEED to get a manager in who gets the best out the players at his disposal. Do the basics. Defend properly etc. manage games when in the lead etc. Make impactful substitutions. And hopefully stop the *** injuries! -

We need someone with expert football knowledge to answer this question, maybe a scout or something like that. -
