I'm impressed with the steady squad-building. We've obviously lacked a bit of real height and muscle up front when all else has failed, and the lack of anyone with the pace to go past people is perhaps why, even with all the high-scoring this season, we often create few chances despite appearing dominant in games. Looking forward to seeing the impact of these new boys.  

lack of pace ?
We have more pace than probably any other team in the division .

Welcome to the Cobblers Mr Wright-Phillips.
Does anyone else remember a 2-leg League cup tie against West Ham which we won? Ian Wright criticised us for putting 11 men behaind the ball in the second leg and then said he hoped Tottenham would beat us in the next round (which they did, 3-1). This from an Arsenal player!
Managed to get out and was at the Boleyn for that one. Great night.

What about our friend on the inside, how does he do it, who is he and who does he know? One of life’s mysteries never to be solved I guess?
From his position he knows them all.. Well done to him, sterling effort. You do need to lose a bit of weight though son.  Wink

I agree, good pace all over the pitch, and it has been great to see Mr Brady’s gradual transformation of that aspect. Wonderful to watch at its best. But who can go past people at a standing start to open up a tight game. Eppiah at full fitness and Koiki, I’d say, Hoskins sometimes. The rest is good fast team play and pace on the break.

Yep - remember it well. Those were the days when our attack was led by the powerhouse that was Chris Freestone.

We left it very late but a positive end to the transfer window!

DWP has flirted with the Championship and is a pretty consent on the bench for Stoke. Disappointing he didn’t get any minutes against Stevenage at the weekend as that would have been a good measure of L2 credentials. He’s a good age for a loanee with some higher league experience. I’d be surprised if he isn’t in the starting 11 week in week out.

Yengi is a bit of a gamble but complimented with DWP and Hondermarck (assuming his not to far from fitness). Hopefully he has a couple of goals in him as an attacking 3 of Hoskins, DWP and Eppiah in this league should be special.

King is a good keeper to play second fiddle to Burge. I assume Burge is a few weeks away coming back as Maxted is still here.

Well done to JB and team for what has turned out to be a very good window for us. We now have lots of options up front and if Keiron Bowie's injury is not as bad as first thought then that's a good thing too.

Thanks to the clubs for allowing us to have their players on loan, a nd that includes Brighton and Fulham who haven't recalled two players who performed well for us.

The big bonus for me though is that we have kept Sammy, I wonder if any bids came in?

JB's biggest problem now, assuming everyone stays fit, will be keeping everyone happy. A nice problem to have.

All in all, a decent window. While there's nothing mind blowing there we've got some decent potential, extra squad depth, haven't lost anyone and have tied more players down for next year.

Spot on, this has to be a priority, we are a much better balanced team with Kioki in at LB.

He's made 17 appearences for Stoke this year, so seems unlikely.

Those 17 games have only been a few minutes off the bench in each.  Wink

Don't worry about a bit of egg on your face Welly, think how much is on the Trust Boards - no wonder there's an egg shortage.

Id go something along the lines of
                  Burge
Odimayo Sherring Guthrie Koiki
                Leonard
           McWilliams Fox
Wright-Phillips      Hoskins
                  Appere

Bench:
King
Mcgowan
Magloire
Sowerby
Pinnock
Bowie
Yengi


Few caveats to go with this. I have not seen the lads in the flesh so they may be better / worse than I expect. Of the starters I would hope Appere can up his goal return otherwise I would hope Yengi can bring more of a goal threat. Not seen the new CM but all the CM's in the squad so far have proven qualities at this level. Harsh on Eppiah, but of the regular players I feel like his actual output in terms of goals and assists is the lowes of them. Would mean Maxted, Dyche, Haynes, Harrop, Hondermarck, Hylton and Eppiah dont make the 18. We have some impressive depth now thats for sure!

I've got the below 11 in my head!

Not sure how the front three will all fit in though!
