It will soon be upon us.
Or do we need anyone sooner, would any of these do a job for us before then?

“They may be off interest”
I hope this was not written by a journalist.

I'd take a chance on Tom Elliott if his wage demands were reasonable, we need a head-on-a-stick player as an alternative.

I don't think Elliott is likely to score many goals given his career record (71 in 389 games, a goal every 5-6 games). I am not saying we should get him back but Harry Smith has a better record. Ignoring his non league record he has 45 in 177 games (a goal every 4 games) and Leyton Orient will be looking to get him out on loan again after Exeter sent him without him starting a game. But we have to remember strikers don't do well here.

Elliot is the only one that caught my eye as from what I've seen of him in the past he looks a decent player. Not so much for his goalscoring but to occupy defenders and make room for the likes of Sammy, Hylton and Appere to fill their boots.

Having a more natural target man would also free up Hylton and Appere to play their more natural game. 32 years old though... Still, maybe worth a 6 month deal?

We need to get the best out of what we have got or move them on .
Eppiah was clearly a risk and it hasn’t  worked . Get someone to replace him .
Hylton could be good for us but he is on the highest wages by far at the club .
Could we spend the money on 2 other players ?
We also need a reliable left back if Koiki is unavailable / goes . Haynes for me is not good enough .

I agree. I have mentioned on here a few times that we need a target man. Games are won in various ways and if you see how effective Dyche has been recently it tells you all you need to know.

Hylton can change a game in our favour, even when he's not scoring. After chasing him for so long (Brady) it would surely be madness to get rid of him now. A target man would take the pressure off him too and stop him getting into trouble with defenders and referees as much.

He’s on a hefty 2 year contract so doubt he’ll be going anywhere soon, even if we wanted him to.
His impact can be significant but he needs to start chipping in soon. Not great VFM so far.

Really? You think Hylton is a target man? A nuisance to defenders but not a target man for me.

Hylton is only 5 foot 11 so not my idea of a target man!

Depends whether you target his head or his feet?

We tend to target 2 ft above his head.

We should target a player that commands a level of expertise over and beyond the average ability of a frog.
