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.
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.
