Just goes to show how things can quickly change.
When he arrived it was 'all hail the king' amid much talk of a new CB, midfielder and striker.
Two games in - not much had changed (results wise) but we did have a promising new kid on the block albeit on a short term youth loan.
Then (seemingly), a light in the darkness with the arrival of the CB in the shape of Mr Gerrard and our first win.
Onwards and upwards we thought - now for the much needed striker before the close of the transfer window.
Looking good - the sale of an ex player should bring a windfall that will allow us to compete in the market.
Alas, not so, Latics had closed that door before it had barely opened and we now have to hope for a win on Saturday or else it's back to the loan market when it re-opens.
