Two players?
#1
If you could swap just 2 players this window, who would go? I know it’s dependent on who comes in but it’s just hypothetical, so imagine those coming in are an improvement.

1: Has to be Swift for me. Critical position for the way we play and he just doesn’t cut it. Has talent but never puts a foot in, or a shift for that matter. Goals and assists have dried up so would love to see an alternative.
2: Cole. Just not up to it and gives no back up to Maja. We need someone who can come off the bench and get goals.

If we do no more than improve on those two, we will improve dramatically. IMO

I understand what you are saying about Swift, but Wallace needs to go before him imho - he offers absolutely nothing now and struggles to even find another player. Swift at least has it in him to turn out the occasional decent performance.

Agree with Cole though.

Wallace and Cole for me. We're pretty set in other positions but could do with another striker and Wallace just offers nothing unfortunately

I would happily sell \ return Holgate, Racic, Wallace Cole & possibly Swift.

Would like a striker. Danns at Liverpool on loan. Cole not got it & Dike can’t be relied on.

A box to box midfielder as back up or challenge to Molumby. Think Diakite or Mowatt next to Molumby battle getting closer. Whitwell can replace Racic on bench

Right back cover. I can’t have Holgate.

A quick winger if Wallsce goes

They are the 2 priority positions. Need a no 10

Totally agree. Swift was poor today, attempting backheels and ambitious flicks that the Premier League side just devoured.  As for Cole, it is probably the most out of his depth I have ever seen with a player. If he had a different name  I think he'd be in another job.

There’s no point in taking any loanee from Liverpool.  They demand that their loan players get a high minimum number of minutes guaranteed.

Desperately need a no. 10. The right player could potentially make a huge difference. Says it all that essentially Grant is now a fixture there over Swift. I don't know what Swift is meant to be, but he isn't a 10, despite what the shirt number tells us.

Wallace and Racic.

Both pointless.

Not pointless if he is good enough to improve us Prag. 

Looked a real handful yesterday, admittedly against Accrington.
