yarddog73 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It seems stupid starting the season with one fit striker and holding out for a lad whose club seem reluctant to release, we are now playing our 6th game of the season tomorrow and are no nearer to him signing him, it wouldn't be so bad if we weren't hemorrhaging points through missing chances and having scant striking options, we really are non league in some respects aren't we. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Can we sign Stones permanently after the EFL window closes? Can we sign Stones on loan after the window closes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Starting with one fit striker- who is effective but not clinical. Relying on one striker who can be prolific but is coming back from injury and is no spring chicken. A 37 year old who can be a pest but isn’t prolific. 5 games in, and we’ve already missed a glut of easy chances. . . which was entirely predictable 5 weeks ago given the paucity of options.

I said this right at the start, I know we went for Matt Smith but I think we should have had someone in and ready to go from the off. Nearly 6 games in and it’s still “Will he or won’t he” with Stones. For a promotion chasing side I find it strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we have needed a striker since day 1, but we have been linked with Smith, Dalby and Stones, and so we all know we are after a striker. I’d rather us sign the right one a few games in to the season rather than another mistake like Nuttall on a 2/3 year deal because we rushed and didn’t get who we initially wanted. We’ve all complained about previous recruitment and making bad decisions so it’s refreshing to see that we aren’t just diving in signing anyone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have to be a two year deal-(and shouldn’t be when we’re still paying paying Reid, Kurt, and Nuttall) but are we saying there isn’t one striker available for a season long loan in the country.

Monty Burns Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 if we signed a striker then Garner and Nors came back and Reid didnt leave and Stones came and Fondop wasnt suspended then some of the same people moaning here would get squadaphobia and moan about that. we went about four matches with two fit strikers and now its match six (l think) and weve got three. hardly a crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not one that MM wants to sign? We also don’t know how many strikers we’ve actually tried to sign. We may have tried multiple and been pushed back multiple times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I agree about diving in but then again Nuttall was on Unsworths radar a while apparently. Never know what you’re going to get I suppose. Just worries me that it doesn’t take many draws before we start losing ground and a more settled forward line would help hugely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 0.7 points per game the last three, any team serious about going up wouldn't be waiting on Wigan the length of time we are, he can't even get in to their matchday squads and we are chasing him like he's the next Paul Mullin. Also if it's a done deal why are we back in and sniffing around Waters and Dalby then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Harry Cardwell to Forest Green looks a good bit of business on top of them signing Quigley earlier, they are probably favourites to go up now for me.
