Saturday Night Striker Questions

[Amber Andy]

Striker oh how all teams want a top striker, but they cost and our transfer record of £150-000 would not temp a club to sell a asset in January.
So we have a problem Akins-Bowery are a link from midfield to attack.
our main strike force on paper are Gale -Swan-Oates.
To win football matches we need goals, and after 19 games this is our weak point, we will get them from our midfield and link players, with defenders also chipping in.
But Swan =Oates and Gale have not been the cutting edge we need,
Unless we break the transfer budget to about £500-000 January is a expensive time, and strikers are in demand,
With some players leaving on loan or permanent, we could afford a fringe loan from Championship or premier league.
Meanwhile our position after the Xmas games will determine our needs

You mean like Wrexham invested and speculated with Mullin and to a lesser degree Notts did with Longstaff and look how those two have delivered. Sometimes you just have to go for it although I totally accept its Mr Radfords money not mine. We dont need Christmas to determine our needs Bear.....the need is obvious to everyone but the In Nigel We Trust Brigade.

Interesting last line. If we were struggling at the bottom of the league, even in mid table, I could understand that people may have lost trust in our manager. However, we are currently sitting 4th with a game in hand, which if we won it would put us in 2nd place just 3 points off the lead. We have lost just once in 19 league matches and have the 2nd best GD in the division.
I am struggling to understand how you consider being a member of the 'brigade' that has trust in a manager who has built a squad and managed the tactics to get us into that position is in any way derogatory.
I really do not understand how any supporter of this club, especially one who has seen the Haslam years and the Conference years, is sitting there looking for negatives.
He has put together a squad to get us in this position, and has been highly praised for his dealings in the last couple of transfer windows for the way he has successfully plugged the gaps in the squad. We know he isn't a manager full of bluster and plays his cards close to his chest. Even if he is looking at striker options he isn't going to shout it from the rooftops a month before the window opens.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. This is our best league season so far in over 20 years. These moments don't come around very often so enjoy them while you can, instead of worrying about the 'what ifs'.

Absolutely. If there is a "brigade", it is a massive one, I'd say 90% of us.

I am proud to be in the in Nigel we trust brigade .He cares for the fans and the Football club from top to bottom.
.His record at struggling clubs has been brilliant and only four clubs after twenty six years in Management, and has left every club in a better position than when he started,
And Mansfield are in a much better position now than when he came on and off the pitch
He is not on the manager merry go round turning down big clubs
like Nottm Forest and Birmingham staying with his players as we know he likes to stay local.
And at least 9 players have him to thank for becoming international players while playing under him, and he is a very respected Manager.
Anyone watching a club while not supporting the Manager will not enjoy a match day experience and its a shame with, Clough its not fair 3 full seasons is a long time to be unhappy

Because Dave, some individuals get comfort and joy and simply find life a lot easier when concentrating on the negative side of things. They've become a lot harder to avoid in recent years.

The ‘In Nigel We Trust Brigade’ ??

Completely pathetic view and out of kilter with where we currently are.

Credit to the Chairman for sticking with Clough, because if it was left to the likes some, we would be swapping managers every 4-6 months.

It just shows what is possible if you allow a manager to build a team and show a bit of patience. Trouble is these days, patience is a rare commodity with the Klarna Brigade.
