After hopefully securing cadden and taylor What position would you prioritise?
We probably need cover at left back, centre mid and right mid.

Doubt we will keep Cadden - if we keep him on loan for the remainder of the season I would be ecstatic.
We will have Thorne and Woodburn back in January, Hanson the start of December - I would bring in a RB and see if we can add some pace off the bench. Someone like Nya Kirby. Hopefully Agyei will have some minutes soon!

I'd like a right winger, I know Forde is back now and Woodburn will be back too but starting Sykes there has not been ideal i'd get one in and let them fight for game time
A right back if Cadden goes, other than that I think we are pretty much set unless we want cover for Ruffels, or someone leaves

We need a winger with pace. We’re definitely a body light in wide areas and need someone who can just put their head down and turn on the after burners.
Before that though, we need to ensure Taylor at least finishes the season here and doesn’t get recalled, and do whatever possible to stop Columbus taking Cadden across the pond. I don’t fancy our chances on the latter, but it would be a heck of a boost.

Key for us is to keep this squad together come 1st February Taylor Cadden Fosu Brannagan
agree with others we could do with possibly a Left Back as cover & another pacy Winger as we didn’t really replace Gavin Whyte but that hasn’t been a issue with Henry played the majority on that right hand side building a great partnership with Cadden
apart from that I don’t anywhere else we need to strengthen

Isn't this a bit like the Christmas decorations going up in the shops mid-October? It is just the start of November and here we are with the January window thread. (or is it me?)

Taylor can't play for anyone apart from us and Bristol City, and they have no plans to recall him, so it'll either be an extended loan or (very likely) a permanent deal in January. It was already discussed as part of the loan and further discussions have taken place with all parties.
Also discussions have taken place to keep Chris Cadden until then end of the season. Nothing guaranteed, but the fact that all parties are talking makes it something that could happen. If he does leave, I'd think that we would look to start with Sam Long and recruit back up if a long term replacement can't be found.
Beyond that I'd guess it would depend on injuries between now and then. Right wing, left back and centre mid are areas that are short at the moment, but get everyone fit and find a way for Dan Ageyi to get in the team and it looks a much better picture.

Depends if agyei can break in to the team. If he is deemed not good enough. Then we need someone to replace him that can do a job. Also someone in to cover left back. If Thorne and Woodburn come back and stay injury free for the rest of the season, then midfield sorted. Anyone else in though is a bonus.

We have Berkoe who could cover left back potentially so that might not be such an issue.
I'd say a CB/Rb, a Wide player and a Striker

The thing with CM is we have been incredibly unlucky with injuries, and having 4 (I think - Hanson, CB, Thorne, Woodburn) out is pretty unusual. Using any more of our budget on CM may leave us in a position where we have insufficient resources to cover areas where we have inadequate cover, but have so far been reasonably lucky - left back, for instance.
I'd obviously love to get in a quick winger, because they're exciting players to have on the pitch, but I do rate Forde (I think perhaps more than some on here), we have Hall improving all the time, Sykes and Henry who can do a job there, and Napa to come back too don't forget.
I think we need to reenforce defence. A specialist RB if Cadden leaves, another specialist LB (Berkoe not ready yet I don't think) and maybe a versatile backup CB who can also play on the left or right of defence if needs be. If FM has taught me anything, they're always useful players to have on the bench.

Is it sacrilege to say a keeper?

Not at all. It seems fairly obvious that Eastwood will be moving up north at the end of the season. Makes sense to bed a new keeper in ready for next season. Although he'll have to do well to de-throne Eastwood.
Definitely don’t think we need a centre back given that we signed Moore and he can barely get a game. If we manage to keep Cadden and Taylor then we don’t need a RB or striker either.
In fact if we keep our squad intact then the only signing I’d like to see is a really pacy right winger, a Gavin Whyte mark 2. Spend big on that and keep our team together and it’s promotion I reckon... (I’ve seen multiple games this season, Portsmouth away being the most recent, that I think we’d have won if we’d had Whyte in the team)

We will not have Throne back. His loan is only until January.
I think even if we do lose Cadden and Taylor in January, then hopefully we'll be in a strong position in the table to attract the right quality replacements. In the past couple of years we've struggled to attract the bigger players because of our league position, but hopefully it would be similar to when we lost Baldock (thanks KR) and gained Kenny.

... And then he will be thrown back?
Well, Mousinho's really stepped up at CB, which even the rose-tinted should see as fortunate: and congratulate the man. Now we have 2 retained FBs (unless Cadden stays, which would an unworthy scam on Motherwell) so we might place a little focus there.

Having seen him a few times, I really don't think KR sees him as a truly viable option as cover.

Or will he be Thorne back. A prickly decision to make.
Taylor staying is going to be vital imo. I don’t see Bristol City recalling him, and he can only play for them or us. So we must come up with another loan, or have the cash to buy him, and give him at least a 2 1/2 year deal.
I have a feeling we will keep Cadden too. I think we have mugged off Motherwell good and proper.
We don’t need to sell any players unless an unbelievable offer comes in for one of our better players.
With Woodburn to come back, which will be like a new signing, and other back up players like Hanson coming back. I think we are in a good place!

If it is possible I would bring in Tariq Lamptey on loan from Chelsea. Rocket heeled winger/fullback who will most likely go on loan to the championship next year, but they might consider A six month loan with a team playing good football and gunning for promotion
KR just said he is going to see Swindon vs Salford at the weekend to see a striker we might get. I wonder who that might me be?

just said in the matchday thread that if it Doyle at Scum, he couldn’t play for us this season as he’s already played for Scum and Bradford this season.
Jerry Yates would be more likely.
Contract up this season.

Dan Agyei out on loan? Looks well off the pace to me. Taylor, Mackie and Woodburn, plus maybe another on loan. Can’t see him getting many chances atm.
