CourteenerOwl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Ultimately it was dropped points that cost us this season. 2-0 up at Wimbledon and cruising, Winning away at Cheltenham, Bolton away. If we saw even just those three games out (there were many more), we would have gone up automatically. Most of the goals conceded were from corners as we know or crosses at the very least. When we were last promoted from this league finishing second we had players who attacked the ball without fear and who were imposing - Llera, Batth, Reda, Jones etc. We lacked this during our spell of handing points away at the last minute until Storey and Dean signed. We need to sign a mixture of these types of players and then add three of four youngsters with pace and unpredictability. Mostly in attack - replace majority of our slow strikers with faster, younger ones. Flint or Dean or both would be excellent on one year deals at this level. People won't like it but we need a Madine type striker. Madine is better then Patterson at hold up play and heading and would be a massive improvement on Patterson. Even as pure plan B he would be worth signing. He has evolved into a pretty decent target man. So three or four hardened experienced players who will put themselves about and be useful in the air and then it's crucial we sign young players for the wing back and forward areas. We are a Dad's Army atm and we need an influx of youth - mainly in the attacking areas - so we can counter quicker and become more unpredictable.

Gary Madine is an horrific idea, a prize idiot He is or was but it's that type of striker we need within our ranks....not necessarily him. Patterson is that option as far as I can see or has been due to a lack of that option. We need it. A striker we can lump it to who will actually ruffle feathers....Jayden Stockley springs to mind too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Tbh if we could get hirst on a season long loan it would be a good signing. He has a bit of pace / tall so probably decent in the air . As for Dean or flint yes I’d take either 100% . Dean was a rock when he played so . Wouldn’t want madine especially when he went to the blades and the video he was part of 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Vadaine Oliver on a free would probably offer the same as Madine. Cheaper too. We could do with a few more players who don’t need 40/50’yards of space to get up to full speed too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamberi needs replacing - so hopefully it's with a younger pacier player. Alfie May although not that young is a on the shoulder striker that would be far more useful then Kamberi. Another left field suggestion for out wide is that Asanti from Salford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just this type of striker we need that option next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coach Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 There’s loads of young hungry strikers who we could pick up and pay about 5k a week..we will go for a famous ‘name’ who’s pretty old and slow..but we will pay him about 15k. A week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
