We have had much better loan players in the past from higher up the pyramid then the current crop.
We need to go there again if we are to improve in the January window but  be better at who take.

Yeah, I mean when has a confident young striker ever done well for his new club?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erling_Haaland

I get the point...

In an ideal world you would have a proven striker, or a player in any position, who is desperate to play for Town.  Be of an ideal age, good character and be more than happy to uproot his family to come here for probably average wages at this level.

Alas...

Anyone proven at this level gets a move higher up the ladder and with that more money (or in the case of someone like Paul Mullin a mega money move to any level), therefore largely putting them out of our reach.  In the unlikely event that there's a club at this level that have a surplus of proven players, they're not really likely to let them come to a rival are they?  I'm thinking a club like Bradford, they've got a glut of strikers who could potentially strengthen our frontline.  But they're only 9 points ahead of us in the table, having played a game more.  Having taken them close earlier in the season at BP, Mark Hughes might well see us as a potential threat so he'll be buggered if he's going to boost our options.

That leaves exploiting the leagues below which a) takes away the proven element of the wish and b) every fornicator is trying to do this which is why you're seeing clubs shell out a fortune on non-league strikers with a decent season behind them.

The only other option, really, is to bring in someone from the higher levels who is unproven.  Unfortunately they do come in incredibly green and raw.  

I'm disappointed Hurst didn't address the lack of striking options earlier.  I think he needs to accept that he's not going to find the perfect option, he'll have to give way on something.  But I also think it's a bloody hard ask to find someone who's going to give us what we need.

If we're talking predictions.

I reckon Maguire-Drew leaves in the window to [insert South-East side in League Two/Conference].


This isn't based on any intel at all, purely a prediction.

I agree with you. I think JMD will go, Hurst just said he's back in training but needs to up his fitness, a repeat of what he has said about JMD many times.

Sourse prematch Accrington.
