Bowyer requests player signings as Burton Albion struggles for depth

Burton Albion head coach Gary Bowyer expressed concerns about his limited influence on summer transfers. With just five new signings and a squad of fewer than 20, he noted that only 12 or 13 players have been available for training leading up to the League One opener against Stevenage on Saturday. Following the club's relegation escape last season, Bowyer stated the necessity for more players, emphasizing his disappointment with the recruitment strategy that has shifted to a data-driven model. The team secured midfielder Will Collar on loan from MK Dons on Friday, but Bowyer continues to seek additional support.
