Keith Lamb: “It was frustrating that we weren't able to deliver on some of the manager's targets, mainly due to the reluctance of other clubs to release their prize assets.
“We were very close to doing a number of permanent deals but we simply ran out of time before the transfer window closed.
“It would be wrong of me to name names because those players remain with other clubs, but we made significant attempts to clinch deals that just didn't come off.
“The transfer window may be closed now, but our recruitment process will continue.
“The manager is rightly keen to strengthen the squad further and he and his scouting team are continuing their search to bring in new additions.
“The one advantage we do have in the Championship is that we are able to utilise the loan system after the transfer window has closed.
“We'll be looking to do that because we are keen to add depth to the squad in key areas, particularly in terms of a striker and a defender.
“With a couple of the right additions, we believe this squad is definitely capable of winning promotion.”
