We have only lost once in the last seven games during which time we have had at least six first choice players out injured. We have also only scored 7 times during those 7 matches, which is awfully poor. And the attacking players missing don't increase that number when valid (Townsend is in a bad period, Camarasa can't get in the team if we even clasify hom as an attacking player). The absentees were mostly center backs (where the defence can't really improve much more than this even when they come back). So the goals will remain pretty much the same if we don't transfer players there.

Our wide positions are in urgent need of investment. Kelly is doing ok, but no more and PvA needs proper competition/backup. The lack of width on the right is why we have struggled in some games as when teams successfully shut out Wilf there has largely been no real option on the right. As a minimum I would say we need a winger or striker to make up the front three and a new fullback, ideally one who can play on the right or left. This is not just about results, but it is also clear some players are playing through injuries which could have long-term implications with players such as PvA clearly being rushed back too early. I think we'll actually see some activity this window as Roy has been becoming very vocal on the need for investment and behind closed doors I think he can be quite tough. I think we might see as many as four players come in, although I do think Camarassa will go and possibly Wickham.

Don't think we can rest on our laurels this season with this squad. We should be strengthening our squad beyond the end of the season if we can. New players usually need time to bed in. Obvious hole is a decent striker. The fly in the ointment is how much we have to spend.

Think we might see Wickham, Dann and Camarasa depart, I think it will be interesting to see if Riedewald develops in a possible Left back with his extended run

Townsend injury has been a blow but on the upside Meyer is getting more game time, as well as Tekkers when he was fit. If 4 do come in, let's hope they actually get some game time in a team with a fairly long injury list, unlike Camarassa.
