Think we could do a lot worse than signing krystian Pearce and Abu Ogogo this week. Our team is seriously short of physicality and leaders and these two certainly tick these boxes. Both waterfall and pollock have struggled this season, and we have no real competition for these now that ohman isn’t around. Krystian Pearce is free having just finished a short term deal at Solihull, he was always impressed for Mansfield (whom he captained) and actually finished in the league two team of the year when they finished 4th 18 months ago. Just turned 31 so certainly got a few years in him yet.

As for Abu Ogogo, he’s just finished a short term loan spell at Dagenham (where he earnt good reviews), and was PH captain at Shrewsbury during that successful 18 months. Another who would add some physicality and leadership into central midfield which for me is the area where I genuinely feel we are most lacking. Hewitt, Clifton, rose, Williams have not done nearly enough.

Certainly think these two would improve us, along with the addition of habergham (he looked an instant improvement on Preston despite not playing for 2 1/2 years)  would give us a much better chance of survival. Of course I still think we need a striker (As well as a fit Hanson) and another embleton/benson kind of central midfielder is needed also. It’s a shame Jake Taylor turned us down because he is that type.

Quoted from Hagrid
Pearce couldnt get a game at solihull.


Couldn’t get a game? He started 8 games since joining late October ?

Easier said than done on Ogogo. Did well for Dagenham and will likely have good offer in our League.


Up The Mariners!

Won’t be easy signing any half decent player. Like I said, he was hursts captain for 18 months so hopefully that might be a pull.

I think Danny North, Kristian Dennis, Matt, Podge, Wes Thomas and Cardwell would all be better than what we currently have up top.

Amazing to think back to the calibre of striker we had not so long ago. Mendonca, Lester, Reddy, Birtles, Rees, Woods, Livvo, Drinkell, Wilkinson, Kabba, Allen, Nielsen...

As you don’t have much to go off regarding Pearce, why do you think he would be any better than Luke Waterfall right now? The Luke Waterfall who is younger than Pearce, was rock solid for a couple of years at Lincoln in the NL and L2 and then earning a move to a L1 side.

Pearce’s career has been on the downward curve for the best part of a decade now.

Waterfall is utter garbage. Just a clogger . Looks like the kind of CB I watch in the Isthmian league
