We have Harrup, if we are not going to give him a chance then he may as well not be here.

just quoting what I was told!


Koiki is so good for us going forward when he plays but with Brady saying hes 2/3 weeks away from fitness and always rumours about him leaving, maybe they're just being cautious?



So it sounds like a new LB will be joining just as our current left back returns from injury.

This must spell the end to Haynes who hasn't been great defensively.

Lintott on the other hand is one I feel sorry for. Didn't put a foot wrong when covering for McGowen and now can't make the match day squad. I know he plays on the other side, but for an 19 year old he has shown a lot of potential.

I agree, especially about Lintott.

His Wikipedia entry is a hoot. Not as funny as Wakely Gages long since edited entry though.

Thanks Melbourne - Tollemache Arms comment did make me laugh!

Haynes hasnt played since Chesterfield and we've been putting Odimayo there who whilst hasn't been terrible, we could do better
Koiki is so good for us going forward when he plays but with Brady saying hes 2/3 weeks away from fitness and always rumours about him leaving, maybe they're just being cautious?

I think we're pretty well stocked to be honest. Maybe some more depth in the attacking midfield part but too many more bodies in and we could upset the balance of the squad. There's already players not getting game time who deserve more (Dyche, Lintott)
Hopefully McWilliams injury isnt long term or we may need another body there
Completely agree, I wasn’t having a pop a you mate, just questioning the club’s reasons to sign a left back.

I’m not sure what JBs fascination is with focusing on extending the contracts of standard league 2 players that have contributed to us remaining in the division for the last 2/3 years. If we don’t look to better ourselves we will never go anywhere.

I think the last contract extension was Pinnock. We’ve just extended his contract for 2.5 years. He’s struggling to get in the side now with a kid on loan from Fulham seen at the better option. What happens if we go up? We’re left with a squad of players not up-to the standard of the league we’re playing in.

Pinnock was a passenger today again. A pity we are stuck with him for another 2.5 years no matter what league we’re in.

Bad business I must admit.

Bad business? The man who had 24 goal contributions last season and 9 so far this season?

His delivery alone will mean he will always get assists and if we had a target man this season he would have more....FACT

He's not KDB, he's a league two winger who gets played out of position. He's bound to be inconsistent.

If he has anywhere near same season and left on a free like this club has a huge history of doing, you'd be moaning.

He's injured already without having played any minutes  Roll Eyes James from the Chron confirmed this btw

Thankfully, we only signed him on a short term deal, which should be up soon so we can get rid...

As for Hylton, just hope someone desperate like Gills or Crawley come in for him, as again he offered nowt today.

Bad news about Harrop. His contract is up on transfer deadline day 31st January, so not looking good for his future here or anywhere else for that matter.

Danny Hylton is very disappointing, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and hoped he would come good but today he probably touched the ball once in 20 minutes - certainly not good enough, either we're not playing to his strengths of he's not bothered and that is a worry.

Everybody is saying we need a big striker, there is a guy who’s 6’3’’ pacy and banging in goals for fun in the conference (4th top scorer).

Yes, Kabamba now has 13 so far this season and also operating only 1 division below where he was last season, whereas Hylton who is operating 2 divisions below where he was last season has yet to score.

Yes, there are no guarantee's. When we had Henderson here he was rubbish but after he moved to Rochdale became prolific. Rose has scored a few for Stevenage. I guess the only thing that matters is the supply or at least the type of it. If you don't play to a strikers strengths then they are unlikely to prosper.

There was a prolific striker in the 1960-70's called Ted MacDougall. He played for York and had a playing partner called Phil Boyer. He scored 40 goals for York in two seasons which earned him a move to Bournemouth. He then scored a respectable 21 for the Cherries but manager John Bond then signed Phil Boyer and the goals started to flow. 35 league goals in the season, plus 9 goals in just one cup tie and MacDougall was now hot property, chased by several big clubs before Manchester United got their man. MacDougall had scored 126 gaols for Bournemouth in 165 appearances.

At United MacDougall was considered a flop (5 in 18) and was moved on to West Ham where again he failed to get the goals, just 1 between September and December 1973. He was then shipped out to Norwich where he was reunited with Boyer and once again the goals started to flow. In 1975-6 MacDougall was the top scorer in the old first division with 23 goals. Despite this he dropped down to Division 2 with Southampton scoring 23 goals in his first season, then with his partnership with Bowyer again rekindled. The pair of them managed 31 of the teams 70 goals which saw the Saints back into the top flight.

That was the last of the glory days for MacDougall, he re-joined Bournemouth (without Boyer) and although he scored 16 goals in 50 appearances he decided to retire.

The point is if it isn't blindingly obvious, MacDougall needed his partner to prosper. With Boyer in tandem he was prolific, without him supplying the ammunition, just ordinary. We could sign the best striker in the division but if he doesn't get the correct supply then it wont matter. Either crosses into the box or ball to feet or passes in behind. All strikers have their strengths (and weaknesses).

Would imagine he would have L1 suitors also but would be a great signing for anyone at this level. Amadou Bakayoko also made available by Bolton.

Bakayoko 36 career goals in 234 appearances so over a 46 game season if he was to play every match he would average 7 goals a season.

Sounds perfect for us. I think we need a John Taylor/Jason Lee type experienced forward to move the game further up the pitch and show good physical hold up play that allows the younger runners to break through.

That said I’d still play 4-4-2 with wingers and big man little man combo up front.

Isn’t that exactly what Danny H was brought into do?
If we really want one of them wouldn’t we be better off persevering with DH?

It was Jim, although Hylton hasn’t helped himself with needlessly getting sent off and being injured.
He needs to start a few games and then Brady will know if he needs to offload him in the summer.

Matt Jay drops a league to sign for Col U.

What do we think, could he have done a job here?
