Right to criticise Cook tonight

Yep!

It staggers me that Cook doesn't see it. And while we're waiting for him to catch on we're losing ground.

It's fair to say the players need some time but you have to look at what Cook is doing to build this team. He's chopping and changing the front players. He doesn't seem to realise that he's playing 442 not 4231 and perhaps most baffling is he's played Chaplin, Barry and Pigott as second strikers before picking a proper ACM in Fraser.

A midfield three of Evans, Harper and Fraser is clearly key to this team yet Cook has given them no time to gel.

Yes time to gel but Cook is prolonging that process with straight up poor decisions.

I think 'worth a punt' is an understatement! We'd be very very lucky to get him.

I suspect he's long been top of our CB list and we're just hoping he doesn't get a good championship offer. Brum have made a move though and we need to move quickly now so it seems increasingly unlikely. Presumably Mariapppa is next on the list.

Yes, I'm sure we'll have 4 players to cover the 2 CM roles. I personally think Cook is the ideal manager for Nolan so expect him to do ok. So one more is definitely needed and I wouldn't be surprised if we look to an experienced, durable campaigner who can come into the team at short notice and deliver 7 out of 10 performances. If you look through the free agents of that type/calibre one name stands out - Leadbitter!
Probably wouldn't come though and there's plenty of other old-timers who could make up the 4th CM spot. No rush.

Phil, regarding the wages...

On an independent website that explains SCMP it states:

'However the Football League use a broader definition of Turnover. Crucially, the FL Turnover figure includes donations from the owners to the club and injections of equity.'

And

'In League 1 and League 2, a wealthy owner can therefore fund the club spending in a way that is not permitted in other divisions'
