SHOULD Nottingham Forest bring in a player on loan before the deadline on Thursday?
That's the question a lot of fans will be asking but personally, I don't think it matters if Billy Davies does not act in the next few days.
The injury to Henri Lansbury on international duty will be assessed and that might force the manager's hand.
And if he was to bring somebody in, it would have to be a player of real significance, a right winger who can terrorise defences.
But while that is the only area the Reds might look at, it is not a necessity and I would not be crying if they did not land a winger.
And that is because we have seen in the last few weeks that Forest have enough in the tank already to have a strong finish.
Davies has come in and the players were already there at his disposal, they just needed a manager who could get the best out of them.
Six successive wins following a draw since Davies took over tells you they are good enough.
At the back, there are options, in midfield, he has an abundance of riches and up front you have players like Billy Sharp who is no longer getting a regular starting berth.
Just look at that bench and you can see the quality, with more sitting in the stands.
There is no need for playing square pegs in round holes, as we heard so much of during Davies's first time in charge.
And that is why we don't need to panic if nothing happens in the coming days.
The players have had a nice break to refresh the mind and body, Davies has been over to Kuwait with the owners to get some sun on his back so when they head into training today, there will be a real buzz about the place.
It is obvious the spirit in the camp is second to none and eight games to go, the Reds have to look to replicate the form from before the break and hunt down second spot.
That starts this Saturday with Brighton and once again, I expect to see a similar line-up to previous matches.
There has been no need to change it, it isn't broke after all so there is no reason for the manager to meddle with a winning formula, apart from who should replace Lansbury if he fails to recover and that will most probably be Lewis McGugan, who has scored three goals from his last three substitute appearances.
The Seagulls are just one point behind the Reds so the big thing about the weekend is firstly, do not lose.
That does not mean go out and play for a draw.
Far from it. What I mean is stay switched on and strong at the back to get that clean sheet.
They have to be positive on the ball and take the game to their opponents. The Reds are the form side, so let Brighton do the worrying.
It is about individuals winning their personal battles and that is what Davies has got them doing so well.
That has been key to this winning run and with a chance to equal that record which stretches back more than 90 years, of seven straight victories, Forest should be more that confident.
To do that, they don't need new personnel.
If a player that adds quality and brings something else to the table comes in, then great. I'm all for that.
But unlike in other seasons when this loan window was about to shut, if nothing happens down at the City Ground, I will not be concerned.
