Tuesday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy First Round tie at Wycombe Wanderers comes just one hour after the transfer window slams shut for four months. So who will be left to take on the Chairboys? Adebayo Akinfenwa has been involved in many a transfer window speculation but it seems late in the day now for the big man to move, particularly with main suitors Swansea making a double signing on Friday night.
There doesn't seem to be a lot more threatening to happen in the players out column with most of the saleable assets already gone. The money received from Danny Jackman gives Stuart Gray some money but more than likely it will mean simply more to splash out on wages rather than a transfer fee, with Luke Boden already brought in for midfield cover and thrown straight into the action at Burton.
We should avoid falling into the trap of last season's loan dealings and Stuart Gray seems to recognise the need for more permanant signings. I can't see an awful lot happening before Tuesday's 6pm deadline with Gary Mulligan returning and Abdul Osman back from injury so don't be surprised if Sixfields is a quiet place in the next couple of days.
Here's hoping that there's no more holes in the starting line-up for the Wycombe game on Tuesday.
