It's definitely a nice to change to see signings that come 'out of nowhere' rather than those being talked up all the time. I like that Austin never wants to discuss players from other clubs too...that will make him highly thought of in the long terms by other managers doing business with us.
He's unlikely to be screaming that he desperately needs a winger...he seems pretty loyal to his players and I still think there could be at least one more coming in by next week.

If DA honestly thinks that Powell, Bridge, Hoskins, Waters, Bowditch, Roberts & Whaler is sufficient quality in wide areas, I think we are in for a disappointing season.
It's a far cry from our options in 2015/16...

I feel like the way he uses his wide players is a bit different as well though (maybe through necessity!) with Waters/Hoskins/Powell etc seen as more of an inside forward than an out and out winger.
I reckon we'll be ok.

This. The system doesn't necessarily need out and out wingers. DA makes a good point that player turnover in recent windows has been ridiculously high.

Interesting one from Sky Sports:
Ricky Holmes is expected to join Oxford on a half-season loan from Sheffield United today, after Blades boss Chris Wilder confirmed the news.
The 31-year-old is thought to be set to complete the move within 24 hours.

Wilder is just playing his normal games. He's actually coming back to us but we've been delaying so he's forcing our hand. He'll sign later today #FACT #todaystheday 100% made up, unless it happens

Yeah, remind me again: how much did we get in the sell on clause when he moved to Sheffield? Good bit of business we did there...maybe? ...or maybe not!

. Maybe he doesn't but he just has to work with the hand he has been dealt.

Lets not forget that Ricky was injured until December…Adams carried the attacking flair up to that point. And once Ricky came back (to score the winning goal at Luton that put us top), Adams form dropped off massively. Wingers are 99% hit and miss. In the 30 years I've seen us play, we've had about 2 consistent ones. Holmes and Eddie McGoldrick. Success can be achieved without out and out wingers and usually is.

I think you will find D'ath played alongside Holmes quite a lot. It was after Holmes and Adams left that Page arrived and decided to break up what was left of Wilders team and concentrated on bringing in central defenders (when Diamond and McDonald had forged a very decent partnership) instead of trying to replace those that had left and then froze out Byrom and D'ath amongst others without giving them a chance. Nothing against Revell but signing Marquis should have been a no brainer. Of the three departed managers it's Page that makes me most angry!

Same as. The last two managers have both inherited sh1t, and only added to the pot. Page was the catalyst!

.....surely you are forgetting the legend Graham Felton! Then again you did say hit & miss!
