GRIMSBY Town boss Paul Hurst says he's happy to work with the squad he's got – provided they come through today's clash with Barnet unscathed.
With the loan window set to slam shut on Thursday, many clubs will be looking to bolster their ranks with last-minute reinforcements ahead of the busy Christmas period.
However, with a fully-fit and in-form squad, Hurst doesn't expect to be doing any transfer business before the deadline – insisting he doesn't foresee any incomings – or outgoings – at Blundell Park.
But he hinted that could depend on whether or not his players pick up any injuries in this afternoon's Conference clash with Barnet (3pm).
He told the Telegraph: "I'd really like to get through today and not have any injury concerns.
"If that's the case and things are going well then I'm happy to work with what I've got and I don't see any need to change anything currently.
"Obviously if we pick up a few injuries in a certain position then perhaps I may have to look at that, but in general, I don't envisage any business, in or out."
Hurst has named an unchanged starting 11 for Town's last three games and he acknowledges that those players on the sidelines may be getting itchy feet.
But he pointed the turnaround in fortunes of top-scorer Ross Hannah as a 'prime example' of how quickly situations can change – and why he wants a full squad at his disposal.
He continued: "I'm happy with the squad at the minute and one or two of them will be unhappy that they're not in the team, but they're all capable of coming in and their attitude has been spot on.
"I spoke to an agent of one of the players and there's no doubt I could get them out on loan if I wanted to but I want all of the players here.
"It may unexpectedly become someone's time to come in and impress and I want them all here to be able to do that if needs be.
"Ross Hannah is possibly a prime example of that.
"At the start of the season, we were looking at a different system and we wasn't too sure where Ross fitted into that.
"But things have changed around and, at the minute, he's in the team and doing very, very well.
"He knows that Liam Hearn, Andy Cook and Dayle Southwell are sat on his shoulders ready to come in.
"That's the sort of competition I want running right throughout the squad."
