"I do like what Michael Duff says, and that is ‘if we can’t find anyone that’s as good as we already have at our club, we’re not going to sign them’.

"Just be patient, we still have a little bit more time, and we’re working on things."

Meanwhile, Nagle has praised the impact made by former Barnsley and Swansea chief Duff following his arrival in May and hailed his 'tactical' and 'intense' approach.

Town visit Walsall in round two next week.

Nagle added: “Michael has got an excellent preparation programme in place. He’s strategic, he’s tactical, and he’s intense,” Nagle said.

"He has a lot of the same characteristics that I have, so I’ve really enjoyed him so far. He’s just not happy enough with what he sees, even though I think he’s got some really special players on the field this year.”
