Although Harvey is now reaching the Neil Young realm of ineffective signings we've got to remember that he's picking from the scraps here. Young did his woeful transfer business during pre season, and had an open loan market to tap into at the beginning of the season. In Jim's defence there won't be much about for him to choose from. A player was available locally with Conference pedigree, I'd have signed Obeng too.

I wouldn't have then proceeded to play him as an auxillary striker however. Also, it was a strange signing in the sense that Patterson has been one of the most consistent performers this season so right back was one of the last areas I would have looked to strengthen.
I agree Jim is limited to who he can bring in at this stage but I don't think that's an excuse to bring in players from here there and everywhere, there still needs to be a bit of logic behind it. I would have much rather he showed us his managerial skills in terms of having made a positive impact on the squad tactically, which unfortunately doesn't seemed to have happened so far.
