One point from Wednesday's seven league games in 2007 is clearly not good enough after a November and December period where supporters were thinking of a play-off push.
Now one solitary draw from a possible 21 points has alerted Laws and he is hoping that some fresh faces will be available to him in the next few days.
The Owls manager wants to bring in two players to boost the squad, who have been low on confidence in the last two months and something needs to be done desperately.
Steve Watson looks a decent signing and his experience will help, although Leon Clarke has not been given many chances to shine - so they will be hoping to make more of an impact in the next few weeks - as will the fit-again Graham Coughlan.
But Laws is currently in talks with a number of clubs regarding loan players and hopes to have at least one in place by the Southend game on Saturday.
