he could have signed for other clubs before - just not EFL ones outside their transfer windows

Dior Angus had a fairly long spell without scoring but who would now deny his importance to the squad? I don't think there's any need to panic just yet given where we are and providing both Angus and Quigley remain fit.
We could manage without Angus as Dyson is a good replacement albeit with different attributes but we'd struggle to score goals if Quigley was injured. We have nobody who would score the goals he does or hold the ball or with the strength that he provides.
Angus pace on the turn and positioning opens up a lot of space for others, including Quigley, to operate.

We don't have another player who makes these selfless runs anywhere near the level Angus does.

Combined with a reasonable level of strength, especially compared to Dyson, means he is very valuable to us.

I think we could adapt the formation to cope without Angus - not so with Quigley. Someone in his mould would be ideal.

Fox hasn't played properly since May and is in his mid-30s. In Evatt's words, "that ship had sailed".

I'd expect a midfielder and a defender to come in, probably on loan, if we sign anyone at all.

I agree. We'd cope far more easily without Angus than Quigley. Losing Quigley would be a disaster.

Strength? I though he was knocked off the ball easily time and again saturday.

"Reasonable level of strength"

For how fast he is, he has enough strength to get by in some situations.
Often when you get fast players in this league a stiff breeze could knock them over.

Angus is excellent at pressing the opposition. Countless times he makes darting runs towards the opposition to put pressure on them, often forcing them to concede possession. I think that's something that often goes unnoticed. He shows excellent desire during a game and has the quality to support it elsewhere.

Plus he has provided supporters with the song of the season so far. We will be singing his praises for the rest of the season at the very least!

Looks to me like a journalist plucking names out of thin air, probably based on our and Carlisle's proximity to Scotland...
