New Yeovil Town signings will come with little warning, says manager Gary Johnson

Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson will only add further new faces to his squad if injuries or suspensions suddenly deprive him of numbers.
The Glovers today signed Watford defender Dale Bennett on loan until January, with the emergency deal window slamming shut at 5pm.
After this point and arrivals would have to be players currently out of contract, with Johnson revealing he has a list of possible targets.
Former Ipswich winger Jaime Peters is one of those names on the list, as is an unknown Dutchman who has been training at Huish Park.
Johnson said: "They are going to be last minute dot commers. They will be ones if suddenly my centre halves clashed heads and won't be available.
"Outside the windows we are going to have to sign one of those non-contracted players. We have got a little list if we need to go out and get extra numbers for lads that aren't in contract."
Bennett – who has enjoyed temporary spells at AFC Wimbledon and Brentford – will go straight into Saturday's squad to face Huish Park, but is unlikely to start for a number of weeks.
His arrival takes Yeovil's loan tally to six, one more than you can name in a match day squad. However, Johnson was unconcerned by the figures.
"Dale knows that he won't come straight into the team. He knows he has got to get some good training into him and some sharpness. He has got to be sharp competitive-wise and he will be.
"He is there if we need him. He knows that he will be involved on most occasions. (Carlisle United's) Paddy Madden misses the next two games anyway, Gozie Ugwu has a hamstring problem that may or may not come back.
"Joe Edwards has to finish his loan after December 22 as does Korey Smith. Those two will miss the Portsmouth and Bournemouth games so that's four games Dale can play in. We knew having the six loans wouldn't make a big difference over this period."
