We will need to see a vast improvement from 2 of these 3 if we are compete in the top 4. They are key Lundstram had his best game in an Oldham shirt. Defensive, first half; like most, front foot second. Wasn't scared of the ball for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conlon isn’t the most dynamic but I think him, Ogle, Jez and Monthe are bringing a calmness to the squad by being comfortable with the ball.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Only issue we might have with Stones is if a L2 club come in for him before Friday. Maloney doesn't fancy him at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good but I do worry about us making him out to be the saviour. Don’t get me wrong though I’ll be well happy if he signs. I think he complimented Norwood really well though. He was aggressive and did all of the running. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely useless against Gateshead, but they all were. He played about half an hour at home to Hartlepool. Scored a great goal, got injured not long after and limped on for another 20 mins or so. Play him without arms and legs and he's still a better option than Fondop and Reid... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradKnowles1 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The club have been pushing this Stones deal all summer. They were close last Thursday. I would not be surprised if he ends up at somewhere like Bradford. we clearly need a striker who can hold the ball. We get nowhere near with Fondop starting majority of games.

Once that window closes and it no longer becomes an option, then the likes of us, Barnet, Rochdale, Forest Green have better opportunity to sign these kind of players...

The Bradford guy who was supposedly going to Wigan so Stones could come to us, is now going to Fleetwood it seems. So Stones to Bradford could be an option.
