Dave and Tom look back on a busy deadline day, and transfer window as a whole. It's bye bye to Benik, Berahino and Bojan but what can loan rangers Hogan, Carter-Vickers and Duffy offer the squad?

We review the overall transfer window, wonder how the team will shape up for Charlton, and have a daft quiz.
