Well I cant say I like it, but what is, is what is and we just have to get on with it.  

While I would scrap the window as well, I don't buy into the argument that serious clubs wait until the last day to do business or can only start looking while the window is open.  What have the scouting staff been doing the rest of the year?  (Time to "make Dan Ashworth an offer he can't refuse", at least we know he can do the job).

Sadly I do not think the players we have brought in, although they are decent players can play in the positions where we are at our weakest.  It will take any PL manager about two seconds to do there team talk "hit them down the left side they have no real midfield or defence on that side"

Anyway, time to move on, so a few things that we could try, one which needs to be done as a matter of urgency,  get JL back in the centre.  

Maybe look a bit harder at playing 3 CB's with two flying FB's Gamboa & Poc, especially against the poorer teams.  Remove Brunt (who I have been a fan of for years) from being the first automatic name on the team sheet.  Consider swapping Berahino and VA around, this will allow Vic to play to his strengths of holding up the ball and allow SB to play in his more natural position which IMO is through the middle.  (Vic to hold the ball, play back to Fletcher for the killer pass through to SB).  Not an ideal solution, but may make the best of the players we have.

I am not saying this would work, I just think against out relegation rivals it may produce some more fruitful results.
