prowl Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 1 hour ago, room0035 said: With our strikers miss firing is it worth looking at Langstaffe at Notts County 21 goals in 23 games this season averaging a goal every 91 minutes. He scored 32 goals last season help Gateshead to promotion and already well on the way to beating that, at 25 for me its the sort of signing that could be a gem. We've got Smith who was a stop striker last season. It doesn't count for much if you don't play to his strengths or you ask him to play a completely different game to that he is used to.. . I don't think many strikers will do well if they don't get service. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’ll miss FDB but given the issues with Gregory and Smith it would be a big call to let Paterson go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbahowl Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 If Ryan Hardie’s available from Plymouth I’d be sorely tempted to go for him …….. Plymouth’s top scorer last season & leading again this season, contract up in the summer & goes for nothing unless he goes in January…… Oxfords bid of a million gives an indication of the ballpark he’s in ………… Would add something we don’t currently possess, genuine pace up front! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any striker we bring in will be a Loan like John-Jules last January. A young unproven striker. Makes more sense to keep Paterson IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John-Jules would have been a good player if he’d not got injured. He’s done alright at Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It’s going to be very interesting to see how much Chansiri decides to spend in this window, as (I’m led to believe) the FFP rules have now relaxed a bit. Obviously we don’t want to get into the same boat as before, but we may see how much Chansiri wants us to get out this division. Will we spend £1m+ on a striker like Hardie or Langstaff? Or loan in Dwight Gayle for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a young un that can't get in a team in a higher division, you're always taking a chance that they any good. Mighten for example. John-Jules only made 8 starts for Ipswich before he was injured again. I think we need somone who is proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail on head, we've already got good players but can't do it all on their own and often our attackers are left too isolated, outnumbered by defenders. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Owlmanac Posted December 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2022 Would love Scott Twine on loan from Burnley. Been injured most of the season and struggling to get into their XI since returning. He was devastating in L1 last season. Could play up front or just behind and is the sort of player that could give us the spark we need to clinch Automatic. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
