Agreed.
Panic signings.
Disagree.
Sean McConville, Danny Martin Rowe and Danny O'Donnell all came to the club with good pedigree's.
McConville was a big disappointment, the other two were not when they were on the pitch playing football.
Unfortunately Dnny M pick up injuries when he was in good form and O'Donnell got injuries in his first two matches (ironically colliding with his own teammates) and we never saw the best of him.
Danny Lucas Rowe never came to the club from Stockport, he was a Fleetwood player not a Stockport reject.
I never rated the guy, but when we played Mansfield and was talking at halftime to one of their supportersin his 60's, he said DLR was the only player he would take from our club.
No, he did not have a white stick.
I don't think any were panic buy's, some just never lived up to their reputation, injuries prevented others living up to theirs.
