It is true. We went from being linked with proven championship players who would have strengthened both first team and squad to getting a bunch of stocking fillers from a discount pound land.
Da Costa - unproven and not prolific as a striker. Also for a 29 year old has played 149 times in whole professional career. 22 year old Cash has already played five more times in his career.
Walker - a player who was doing well in League One but had been tried three or four times by previous managers and considered not good enough for championship. He is 23 years old so surely it was now or never. Was barely used before and after the break came on once for about 1 minute
Diakhaby - one of the worst players to turn out in a Forest shirt. God knows what any of the clubs who shat out a combined £18 million for him.
Bong - he featured for 59 minutes and hasn't been seen since.
No good trying to defend these signings. We needed more attacking options with pace - well they got them in. Just that the quality was not there. They added one goal, no assists and did nothing to provide defensive cover.
This lack of strengthening fatally undermined the second half of the season and during the restart the players who could be chosen simply ran out of steam.
