Davies arrived at the club in December following the departure of Colin Calderwood and oversaw an initial transformation of the club's fortunes with four straight wins.[LNB]However defeat to Derby on Saturday was Forest's third Championship loss in a row, with Davies now insisting he does not feel fully culpable for the club's current slump given he made no signings in the recent January transfer window.[LNB]"If I had signed seven players in January and the club was picking up the results it has picked up, I would be saying to you that I am happy to carry the can. I would be happy to admit I am concerned," he told the Nottingham Evening Post.[LNB]"At this moment in time, we need players. At this moment in time, we have an average age of around 21. We do not have the depth of squad to compete at this level. They are all facts, it is not me trying to pass the buck.[LNB]"In January we clearly identified several signings that would have helped the football club. Unfortunately, we could not get those signings made. I am not having a swipe at anything but the numbers we have available are costing us dear at the minute."[LNB][LNB]
