DJ is on a three and a half year contract. Interesting that most of the players we signed in the last rush-job of a transfer window were only given one-year contracts. That says a lot about what LB & SG thought of them.
Very pleased with this signing and the intent it shows. Even if we don't go up this year, I think there are building blocks being put in place for the longer-term success of the club.
We have two wide players now, will we play a 4-4-2 every game? Seems doubtful as they can't rotate out. But it certainly gives us more options formation-wise and is a big upgrade on the middle-heavy squad we've had up until now.
Blimey, it looks like some peoples pants got a double drenching tonight. First people were wetting their knickers that we hadn't signed anyone and then they were wetting them again because we did sign someone.

Am I the only one to never notice opposition players?
Nope , I’m with you but put it down to old age
but once they sign for us all of a sudden I have huge recollection.... what a player he is , one that stuck out when we played them and I always hoped we’d sign him , something along them lines always seems to happen
tough tough transfer window that, bit of a rollercoaster for an emotional wreck of a fan, so hit the Cadbury’s and chocolate digestives hard but it’s come at a price this time of the morning . Can we get our business done earlier next window so I don’t have to be up half the night doing mine .
2 stand out points for me this January window compared to so many others recently...
We took an inform premier league loanee midfielder from a rival(ish), its usually the other way round, and secondly we've spent a fair wedge on a young exciting player we can potentially build around.
That alone speaks volumes to me on our new vision. Throw in the other signings from this window and its been very healthy.

I don’t think many can honestly say they knew who he was
How can you watch a game and not be aware of opposition players? I’m not saying all but you’d remember ones that catch the eye surely. DJ is one of those, as was, for example, Baah.
Sage, as someone who wanted Maddison at Cafc years ago your insider information wasn't needed on this occasions.
It was so patently obvious that MM and Bowyer wasn't going to work within a couple of weeks.; at 27 a very useful lower division player had lost his way totally.
Marcus Maddison was going to either be a great signing or a complete disaster. I was hoping for the former.
Sadly it was the latter.
Was he even give an opportunity for it to be either?
Losing Williams and Maddison on the same day seems...odd.
Change of tactics from bowyer playing with wingers more now than the diamond. Has millars good displays changed this because the last good winger we had Fosu was sold because we played narrow with diamond
Now he’s gone (probably permanently eventually) I’m happier than I was originally to reveal that a week into joining us, Maddison contacted my daughter on a dating app and wanted to meet her etc, wisely & luckily (for him) she knocked him back, her words were, she thought he was “fit” 😳 but, he came across as a bit of a knob. I’m in no way suggesting that had any bearing on Bowyers decision to let him go, but I’m claiming it 😄

He done the same to a girl my mate was seeing and ended up shagging her. Needless to say they aren't seeing each other anymore

Did the same to a friend of mine too, wasn't too impressed when he was already back on Insta messaging her after he was subbed off at Burton away before the game had even finished!

Was your mate a charlton fan? That would cut deep if he was
Am I the only one to never notice opposition players?
Nope. I'm just the same. Only ones I notice are ones that are well known.......although I did take note of the lad at QPR who ran Pearce ragged in the 2nd half at their place when we draw 2-2. Double barrelled Osi-Samuel (or suchlike).
i'm the same although i did notice the fella who ruined smyth at RWB and noticed he has had a big move this window
Apparently being pissed off at what looks like bad news and then cheered by good news is a sign of hypocrisy, not a normal reaction.
I'm just sorry we didn't get that Barnsley midfielder over the line.
Try reading the whole thread Chief. This is what it was like on here 10-11pm.....
Pathetic
I was on the thread, chief, and what I saw was people who were understandably worried by the shipping out of two players and no sign of any incoming.
I don't really get this pleasure in slagging off other fans for daring to voice their opinions and concerns. On a forum.
All I saw where people complaining that Sandgaard wasn’t matching whatever number came into the heads of the owners at Exeter, petulant children everywhere
It seems like a long time since I woke up from the final night of a transfer window with a smile and looking forward to the rest of the season.
Thank heaven for Cawley keeping us dangling - the lack of news on other media nearly allowed me to switch off.
Pleased for Williams and hope all goes well for him. I’m not going to miss Maddison. It had already been a good window and just got better right at the end.
We had looked good at the back earlier in the season and have players steadily returning to fitness. We lacked a decisive attack and it looks like SG and LB have focused their attention there.

That's one way of looking at it I suppose. Like you say petulant children every where.
Not signing a defender is a risk but one that has presumably allowed us to bring in players further forward. That's what this cap does... Hard decisions have to be made & I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us

Helmets.
I doubt those lads even have a helmet.
With hindsight, a very lucky event as instead we have a far superior player and much younger.
This has been an excellent window methinks.
Rock on Tommy.

I do think on paper will look stronger and more dynamic but time will tell.
