January transfer window

[WV1]

Whatever business needs doing needs to be done on January 1st.

Can’t afford to waste anymore games.

Not replacing Jay Harris with a similar style of play and enthusiasm was a major management oversight and is costing us points.

The way we're going January will be too late. 10 points adrift in October is woeful. Management should be ashamed.

And the prize for overreaction of the week goes to...

Firstly, if we win our game in hand (Aldershot away, very likely win) then we're 7 points adrift, not 10 and all of a sudden we're within the play-off places and things don't look as bad.

Secondly, form is often a temporary thing and eventually the teams at the top will start dropping points. All of the teams at the top have had much easier starts than ourselves and have dropped points in easier games, whereas we have only dropped points against other title favourites.

Lastly, we have a decent run of fixtures coming up after our extended break from league football. Would it not be fairer to judge the management team after this run, perhaps towards the end of November? For all we know, we could be knocking on the door by then!

I said before a ball was kicked in anger, that, looking at our first 10 fixtures, we could be 10 points off top spot by then.

I'd actually worked out that we would get 12 points from our first 10 games. If we had finished the game at Aldershot, we would now be on 16 points from 10, so better than what I had expected.

Also, after 10 games, two seasons ago, Barrow were in 20th position on 10 points and 13 points off top spot.
