Signing 4 unproven EFL youngsters in a relegation fight is ballsy stuff from the bluebirds

29 players signed - thought they were only allowed to register 25.

Some will be sidelined until the end of the season unless there are some going out on loan

Most of the new signings are young enough not to count towards the cap.

Pretty smart recruitment? We will see.

Got to agree its a gamble signing a load of young lads (apart from the 2 strikers) but could pay off to have keen to impress players, all from decent teams and it makes are squad have a lot more pace !
Guess we'll find out esp over these next 5 matches

I’d rather see young lads have ago rather than some of the injury prone journeymen we have on the books

Any player U21 and GK don’t count In the registered players list that has to be submitted to the EFL

Apparently wanted by League 1 clubs.
45 goals in 163 games is not a bad return.

Signing young kids on loan is all well and good but as we know, loan signings often don't work out and throwing them into a relegation battle which is what it is you would think they would have gone for more experience. I'm pretty underwelled by our January business to be honest but time will tell
