DJ was substituted at half time on Saturday due to a hamstring issue so could be he misses a few games.

We need largie back. Can’t rely on dj or gnonto in prem. Or we need to buy an upgrade on all of them in Jan. with injuries kicking in. Jan is crucial. Although changing formation ( bless ) might assist us.
{Ed025's Note - dont expect too much in January Aus, its notoriously hard to make signings then unless you pay massive rates mate..

I know Ed. Hard times. It’s hard for newbies like us to survive. Not saying pool buy their survival. But bloody hard for us to even survive.
I’ve been thinking.
It’s not a big gulf between divisions.
I mean we are pretty much playing a lot of the elite often. That’s the same for others.
If you look at fa cup. You get the odd upset. But not hundreds.
So. Small margins matter. That’s why most of the poor teams don’t get pulverised ( gunners etc apart ) . But just lose.
Is that tactics? Belief? Management? Acumen? I dunno.
But imo.
The gulf ain’t that big. We have lost a lot of games we been competitive. Lost mind. But coulda sneaked something.
You have to have that extra. Can’t rely on the odd upset.
{Ed025's Note - you have and will get decent results at times Aus, beating the teams around you especially at home and i think you have a half decent chance to stay up mate..

I don't think we've seen enough of DJ and Gnonto yet to be able to say that we can't rely on them in the prem. Willie went to sleep in the first minute on Saturday in the run up to their first goal, but nobody was good in the first half.
DJ troubled them a bit with his pace, but was then pulled off at half time, and now looks like he'll be spending some time in the treatment room - again!

In my opinion any signing in January will only be a desperation one and probably a loan, doubt it will be a player we really want long term.
What we have is all we’ve got, no miracle season saving players coming in as far as I’m concerned.

Ditto OP.
As you were, gentlemen.

That's always how it is with Jan window signings. Will not be of the quality we really need long term, but if we can find someone just good enough to provide a little bit of extra impetus to get us over the line (ie 17th or above) then I for one would be happy with that. ?.
