Dowie draws a blank

Iain Dowie has been unable to sign any players in time for the game against Swindon Town. His main target man, Mark Hudson, is injured and cannot commit at the moment as he suffered an ankle knock which may keep him out of action for at least a week. Dowie admitted, “We have to make sure we get the right people rather than settling for second best. We’re having trouble bringing people in, but that provides a chance for those already at the club to show what they can do.”
