I’ve been a fan for over 50 years, and you’d think I’d know better by now.
This time I really thought we’d deliver early signings that Glasner requested; that the groundwork would have been done in November and December so that January would be a mere rubber stamping exercise.
If potential signings hesitated in November and December, then we’d have moved on to other options.
There will be wise sages on here shaking their heads and saying ‘it’s a complicated business, transfers, in particularly the January window.’
I’m not denying that it’s complicated, but our bench options in the first half of the season have not been strong enough.
On occasions we’ve had 2 goalkeepers and/or 3 untried youngsters and/or 2 or 3 veterans past their sell by date.
It’s not good enough , and the need to strengthen has been evident since the early games of the season.
