1 game at a time though and onwards to the next one - hopefully with a couple of new faces.

I would agree that a forward and midfielder would be beneficial as we are unlikely to be injury free for the rest of the season. Some rotation may also help.
Don't personally see the need to get Holroyd up front alongside Quigley as the way we've setup since we had Miller has improved our attacking potential and has enabled the midfielders to get closer to the front men.
Boden appears to be thriving in the new formation and despite Holroyd playing deeper, he still got 3 against the Gulls.
It is essential to get players of the right calibre but also important that they are good team members and don't disrupt what's already been achieved.

Coddington would be fantastic but I can’t see it. As would another permanent striker.

A backup centre half is a must, as is a wide left player.

The next 10 days are crucial, we will never be in a better position to win this league.

Definitely, Wedgbury/Wright/Kelly give us options in there.Another option in there would be good but not completely necessary, a wide player and a striker are a necessity.

Dean used the word 'few' in his latest daily post interview numerous times

which is more than a 'couple'

I would say defender, midfielder and another forward. I don't think he sees keeper as an issue, unless Coddington becomes available and he may sign him on just to get him

I think it could be tough getting a back up defender in. Let's be honest they won't be a guaranteed starter so who would want to come? A league club wouldn't loan us a player to sit on the bench either. I agree we need some sort of cover but it could be difficult getting someone of the required quality.

I think Dean will hope injuries and suspensions are minimal for the Centre Back positions. I really can't see him getting cover in in that position whilst we have Hurst and Roberts.

We need a Winger, striker and if funds allow another creative midfielder.

We've picked up the likes of Artell and Stephen Wright around this time previously though I think? Someone of that ilk would be ideal.

If I had to choose between a left winger and a central midfielder I'd go for the winger. On top of Wedgebury, Wright and Kelly we've also got Leo Smith who should be desperate to prove himself (though admittedly he was poor against Harrogate, as was everyone else)

True, but if we can get the likes of Deverdics in on a permanent deal for next season too, I think we should.

Adi Yussuf released by Barrow. 6 in 22 for them.
