Think that’s unfair as we clearly missed out on a left back in January and we did make the squad bigger, you can’t expect everything to go our way.

Because in the summer there's more out of contract and available players.
It's not a position most clubs have excess of. Unlike say CB, where they could have 4-6 players vying for 2-3 shirts. Clubs could have 2 players vying for 1 shirt at LB. In the summer 1 or 2 of those LB could be out of contract and unhappy with being 2nd fiddle so may look for first team opportunities. That's where we would come in.
In January you either pay a club a good few or you look at players who have no club (ie Lewis Page) which didn't work for us.
Just because it's easier in summer that doesn't mean it can't still be difficult.
