We are trying to strengthen the squad as much as possible. There are a number we are still looking at for January and we will have to wait and see how things develop but I am hoping to improve things as we still have a wee bit to go.
anyone bring fact list loads others squad
I had loads of others on a list and it was disappointing not to bring anyone else in as I know for a fact that they would have strengthened our squad immensely.
arrived came changes discontent dozen felt games hard maybe move players playing size squad start stick time unhealthy work
There have been a lot of changes and there were a lot of players I felt it was time to move on. There was a lot of discontent in the squad when I arrived and we had to start afresh. We need to work hard and stick together. When I came here I felt there was an unhealthy size of squad, if you get maybe a dozen players not playing games it's too many.
bare bones chance others progress squad win
Others will get the chance to show what they can do. We want to win and progress but we are down to the bare bones of the squad with these injuries.

I honestly believe that we can build a squad in the summer that can push up into the top six and challenge for promotion. We've got funds available for next season.

We do not have too many options left and we certainly won't be taking any risks with the Rangers match so close.

We don't think there is any ligament damage but there it's a setback for the lad.

I've spoken to the chairman (Rupert Lowe) about it and Theo is going nowhere.

The situation is a major concern for us. We face a very difficult game without one of our main players and we don't have a lot of options in that area. Roman's operation was successful but the hard work starts for him now.
public response
The response from the public has been fantastic.

Roman took a kick on his foot and won't make tomorrow night and we will have to wait and see how the others are later in the week,

Saul did well in the first couple of matches of the season but he knows there is competition for places now,
difficult point points totally
Every point is important. It's very difficult to say but I think you've got to look at 50 points to be totally safe.
