We all know about how the bottom trawlers Colchester & Gillingham signed virtually new teams in January 2023.
I knew Sutton had signed a ringer forward on loan in January from Fulham plus others so I thought it was about time I ended this talk about Sutton being a bad bad team
they signed 6 players in January 2024.

Jan 11th Charlie Lakin [Burton - Sutton] Loan -- started against Rovers
15 January
Nino Adom-Malaki [Millwall - Sutton] Loan -- started against Rovers
Olly Sanderson [Fulham - Sutton] Loan -- started against Rovers
18 January
Deon Moore [Lewes - Sutton] Undisclosed -- started on the bench against Rovers
25 January
Stephen Duke-McKenna [QPR - Sutton] Loan -- started against Rovers
29 January
Jay Williams [Fulham - Sutton] Undisclosed as in spending money - he didn't feature as he had only just signed
--------------
so a mere 4 new "library loans" started against us plus 1 on the bench

so as you can see they had been dosed up with ringers from down South apart from Charlie Lakin whose signing surprised us all !! perhaps you see why we didn't sign Lakin as we had signed Craig who was an unused substitute that day

Results since 1st Feb hardly show a fantastic return, though. W5 D6 L6 - 21 points from 51 (17 games).
They finished on 42 points, so they got 21 points from 29 games to the end of January, then 21 points from 17 games after January. Yes, an improvement, but not stellar.
