Good player and brought energy to the side at a time we needed it
One good thing that CG did was to bring him into the club
Good luck with the Gills who are really more of a league 1 side and have been for a long time

I’ve read with interest the defence of Clough’s transfer dealings and feel slightly grubby to admit that I’m 100pc in lockstep with Rob. The transfer window (arguably the last 3) have been a calamity. I’m glad we’ve got three decent players in (so net one). We desperately need a goalscorer too.

I don't get the whole calamity thing when we got to a play off final. Not every player we sign is gonna be perfect but Cloughs gets more right than wrong imo.

Just imagine how it might have been if we’d got our targets, had a credible and effective backup plan and not been stymied at quarter to midnight on the last day. We have conducted our acquisitions poorly. Even the manager admitted that.

Welcome back!
When did the manager admit we'd concluded our acquisitions poorly?
Is there a link to the interview?

Thank you. I distinctly recall him saying they could have handled it better in his post window closing interview. That they shouldn’t put their eggs in one basket. That they should have called deals earlier so we weren’t exposed. It’s out there. I’m not going to find it. I see that you’re just as zealous in defending the manager from any criticism no matter how mild or even implied.

You shouldn't feel grubby, you're entitled to be right every now and then! I'd certainly agree that the summer window was a calamity, though so far this one has been good in terms of incomings but yes we clearly still need a striker and a left sided defender.

Clough said left back is not a position they’re looking to strengthen, other than they may look at Lewis Page if/when he’s back fit. You’ll be pleased to know Macca was due to play 45 mins today in the friendly at Barnsley.
