The core of the team is good, we really only need a keeper and a full back to have a full strength starting 11.
This. But if we do start with Sweeney, I'm cool with that too.

It's now about making sure we have adequate competition/cover.

He’s been on here before under different names, guess who
9 or 10 years ago on the red version, but never here
You don’t have to explain yourself he is fixated with a previous boarder so he randomly accuses people of being said boarder, pretty sad really
Yeah, I see that as well

More muscles to pull/injure?
Musclebound, which creates problems the otherway as you rightly point out

No idea why, but other clubs have no trouble at all

Burton have managed to bring in 16 players so far, Rotherham 11 that I know of.

Most transfer windows seem difficult for us too. (Remember January 22- Ray, Nouble etc)
This is the worst take. Signing loads of players is generally a sign of weakness, not strength. Would've preferred us to get players in earlier for the purpose of getting them integrated into the squad, but we've generally improved our squad every summer under the current set up, so something is obviously working. January we seem to struggle with a little more.

Agreed, just look at Carlisle in January and what little impact it had on them.
