An interesting 36 hours ahead.....

Burton have supposedly put an offer in for Cole ,stupid if we let him go to a fellow struggler !!!

keep Stockton and we stay up, simples !!

If we sign anymore players before the window closes today which positions do we need !!

Personally another striker and defensive midfielder for me if possible

There is a rumour on the Charlton message board that quite a few clubs are chasing Sam Lavelle

Interesting !!!!

Interesting !!!!

Rumours Wrexham are looking at him.

Any news guys?

Accy have just signed a striker… and it’s not Cole.

That makes it less likely they’ll sign Cole as well. Although I don’t think they were ever going to…

Rumours of 21 year old midfielder Josh Austerfield coming to us on loan from Huddersfield.

According to his Wikipedia he is coming here on loan.

Do we need another midfielder or is this just to fill the squad up

Watts, Weir, Shaw, Simeu and Mellon all on loan, I thought we could only have 5 on loan?

Watts wasn't in squad on Saturday. Is he going back to Southampton?

Well, that's 11pm, so if it isn't done now, everything remains the same

Josh Austerfield loaned to Morecambe at 11.03!

Almost all those teams around us have signed numerous new players on loan from Premiership or Championship clubs with clubs like Lincoln and Fleetwood spending a few pennies in the process.

Would have liked a further striker but with Cole staying and Mellon looking good DA maybe thought we didn't need anybody else up top.

Cole seemed back to his old self on Saturday and could it be that he knows that our new midfielder who was outstanding v Bristol could fill the void left by Aaron.....who joined Newport in the summer and was instrumental in creating many of Cole's goals last season

I hope you're right RR.

DA did say that he was hoping for two signings (and we’ve only got one). I reckon we tried for a striker as well but missed out.

Good window IMO

Jon Obika to Motherwell was a late transfer as the Jock window didn't "slam shut" until midnight.

I think Derek may have a free agent striker lined up otherwise we are short up front although Ash Hunter can play as a striker.

Stockton panic over, although realistically I don't think he was ever going to Accrington. He's likely to get a good contract on a free this summer, why tie himself down to Accrington this window? Despite having a bit of FA Cup money for a transfer fee, they won't have been able to offer him silly wages. And then there was persuading our board to sell, which was very unlikely.

Glad to see Obika get a move. Been hugely unlucky in his spell here, hopefully fresh surroundings will give him a chance to find some form.

It's a shame we couldn't get in an experienced DM in as I think our midfield could have done with that option, but glad we've got an extra body in there with Austerfield. We were pretty light in that department, especially with Taylor being injured.

Overall, a pretty good window I'd say. Crowley is undoubtedly the standout signing, but Simeu and Mellon already look like they'll do well. Plenty of quality in the side.

This was my thought too, i'm sure there is plenty of decent free agents out there desperate to put them selves back in the shop window

Not sure the total number of loan players that you are allowed at the same time, but I believe you can only name 5 loan players in a matchday squad - so if this is the case at least one of these players won't be able to feature week to week.

Jon Obika on bench for Motherwell tonight

Wonder if Caleb Watts has returned to Southampton due to injury...
