🗣️ “Not unless we really need to…” Paul Heckingbottom rules out free transfers and is happy with his current squad. #pnefc

I'd argue that we do really need to. One contracted striker and the chuckle brothers at the back doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Paul Heckingbottom, now on Muted words

So we play donkey lindsey every game god I hope he gets a bad injury and he out for the season. I dont care if it seems nasty .

Not sure here, missed over all summer to bring in two strikers, Archer a massive missed opportunity and another lower league Nugentesk striker. Some quality in, no centre half! Lindsey out of form for a long while yet still plays. Saturday will tipping point for the gaffer

20 games without a clean sheet would suggest otherwise...next couple of games will be make or break for him..time he delivered or got out ..

@fanpne Release Lindsay. He’s shot to bits as is his confidence. You can’t keep playing him in this way. Unless you want him broken and us scrapping for our lives for the season.!!

Hughes and pottsy are not the strength we need, there are however some very good players on the free.

Potts? Hopefully I'm wrong because he's a useful squad member - when fit - but I'm not convinced we'll see him again.

We really do mate

Why not ask why Liam Lindsay has been starting over Offiah? #Pnefc

@allthingspne Sack, happy with the squad? we have two strikers, Lindsay, Hughes, and Storey are all gash, midfields thin as paper, need another winger and your telling me he’s happy with the squad?

We do need too. Cbs are shite

We do really need to! We need another CB & CF. Go & get Conor Coady, he's a leader, organiser, sets the standard, if he isn't first choice he's far better than the current back up we have! You can't rely on just 2 CF till Jan one gets injured & your flogging the other or he's sub

Why not question harder why he’s acting happy having lost 5 strikers and only replaced with 2? One being a loan.. how was that ever a sensible plan? If that was deliberate like he’s making out, that is shocking planning from the club #pnefc

Is he for real ?

So no new centre backs? it’s like he wants to get sacked.

Subbing Wiley off was an absolute disastrous substitution by this man.

Absolutely delusional, we need to improve the defence and there are a few out there for free who are experienced defenders in Webster, Coady and Robinson, but he’s happy with the squad, get him gone North End what are you waiting for.

@allthingspne Thing is Paul we DO REALLY NEED TO. We need a replacement for Lindsay, we cannot play the full season starting him

Happy with the squad is fine, but four games without a point means they’ll need to start showing it soon

That sounds worrying. We're not looking for a CB in the free market?

This is one of the reasons why the fans have lost faith in him. What is he seeing that we aren’t. We concede goals for fun. His words here totally contradict his words prior to the window closing.

😂😂

@fanpne Jeez he looks fed up

Why not question harder the random signing of Liam Gibbs? It makes no sense other than emergency cover. A loan, with no option to buy, for a player who isn’t better than the current starting XI. #pnefc

In theory, at the moment, he is right. He has enough shirts filled to put out XI and fill a bench. Clubs never have empty treatment tables as McCann illustrates. Getting bench warmers helps no one.

They really, really need to.

Any chance of a clean sheet ?

Looks fed up

Encouraging signs.

Goodbye

It’s really disappointing that the questions weren’t challenging enough. There’s a number of fans who feel he could be sacked if we lose against Blackburn. If you count pre-season, since 4th Jan we have a win % of 15.2%.. 5 out of 33 games.. #pnefc

2 strikers with barely any championship experience. It's pathetic. One injury away from having 1 fit striker. It wouldn't surprise me if they both end up being shit as well.
