Never said Grant was brilliant Ferrite and I respect your point but overall he has been good and yes maybe he didn’t get back a couple of times, is that fitness or couldn’t give a toss?, personally I would say fitness, he works hard in midfield compared to others and at 34 probably feels his legs after 70 minutes. Don’t think it makes him crap but it’s just my opinion.

Don’t disagree with any of that, my point is simply that we completely tore up our squad at the end of January with something like 8 or 9 new signings and, really, only one or two of them have actually improved the squad and even the good ones haven’t really pulled up any trees. I don’t really see what the point was – we finished December with a fine away win at Oldham and a team that finally looked like it could do something, so what did we do? Immediately decided to sell Loft and by the time we played Oldham at home only TWO players started who had also started the away game.

I get that the embargo and the (lack of) budget meant that it was difficult to sign players but a lot of them feel like signings for the sake of making signings. Pyke & Nuttall vs. Loft & Jarvis? Sinclair & Feeney over Hippolyte & Green? Let’s be right, all of those are steps backwards.
