January

Wondering if people have any thoughts on if they would like to see any January signings?
I'm very happy with the squad at the moment, although I'd be keeping an eye out for a pacy/tricky/direct dribbling winger as I think it'd be something to give us a bit more variety in attack. CMG is tricky and relatively quick, but seems to have moved away from taking players on as much and drifts inside more as well as getting in behind far more than he did last season.
Not saying that's a bad thing - as we've seen in December, he's really honed this and become an incredibly potent goal threat. Just think it would be good extra option to have in attack, someone who will dribble a bit more quickly/directly.
One of the nonsense rumour mill transfer Twitter accounts claimed we are 'close' to signing Theo Archibald on loan. I think that's highly unlikely, but a player in his kind of mould would be good. I quite liked Brendan Kiernan at Harrogate, although he does lack a bit of end product.
Already shaping up as an interesting window for League Two. Stevenage have bolstered quite heavily. Newport have lost Cooper and Twine (unless they get loaned back again), while Carlisle have kept hold of Rhys Bennett. Liam Kitching at FGR has gone to Barnsley, and Max Watters at Crawley is pretty hot property right now.
