"In terms of squad, we've got some work to do, if we can, in the transfer market," he conceded. “Because I think that's the only place really that we can get what we need in the next few weeks.
“So, as I've said many times, we're going to be actively trying to bring players in. Within the squad, I think we've got some very, very good players, there's no doubting the quality.
“We have an unbalanced squad currently, with a few departures and the numbers coming in the other way haven't quite adjusted to that. So we have work to do."
