The idea that it’s gonna be impossible to sign decent players in January is wrong.
A fair number on here were claiming that no self-respecting manager would ever come here if Cox were sacked. Well – we have brought in as good as we could have hoped. Better even.
They were wrong.
It is far more serious for a manager to take on the job than it is for a player who is out of favour to sign til the end of the season at a failing club. Yes the target pool will reduce but the players to get us out of trouble are available.
Far more of a worry is if our position worsens over the next seven games. We are still in reach at the moment but if we were, say, 6 points adrift of safety – then it’ll become harder.
Seven games. Two wins, three defeats and 2 draws would probably keep us in touch long enough to stand some chance of putting a number of things right at the very start of January.
