Hang on, people on here have been urging the club to sign a striker. Now all of a sudden we don't need one. Ridiculous. Hannah can go he has not done much for year now. ok he has not started many games but when he has come on how many times has he looked like getting on the score sheet? Hardly any and he is too lightweight for this league. He can score penalties though. Pittman has done ok but we all know about his fitness record. The games over Christmas took their toll and he looked leggy in the last game. Then there is Hamish, well I haven't a clue about him, only the gaffer knows.

Hannah just never lived up to the reputation he made for himself on his loan spell. I really thought he was going to become the next Liam Hearn but I guess it wasn't to be. Would love to know what happened there.

He's not played in the same team that was here when he was on loan and this team is not playing to his strengths. Maybe he is not good enough but I do feel a bit of sympathy that he's been forced to be a square peg.

I know nothing about Ollie Palmer but from what we can read he is just going to be a squad player in case LJL gets injured/suspended. The month on loan is really a month on trial and a month's insurance policy. It is not in my view a quality promotion springboard signing who will make LJL or Pittman worry about their places.

But let's be charitable, maybe the manager has someone else in mind for that.

Is it just me or is a striker the last position we need to be looking at right now ? Another big centre forward as well when we already have lenny playing week in week out. A nippy tricky striker I would understand but this could be another Nicky Walker signing so in other words pointless

Its January ! we always get a new striker this time of year to keep the bench warm and upset what little moral we have left

Ollie Palmer. Sounds like a gay actor.

We should only sign players with real names like Jim or Nobby.

I've never heard of him. But then I'd never heard of Liam Hearn (or Omar Bogle) either.

Hi Record for H&W is very impressive, similar to Hearn at Alfreton

Hearn scored every 1.4 games on average.

Palmer scored every 1.7 games on average.

Palmer is only 22, so is only improving, maybe league 2 was a step too far at a young age...

Just watched the lengthy video on the club's youtube channel of Palmer's goals.

Observations:
90% of his goals scored from inside 6 yard box.
Some good headed finishes.
Seems capable of making quick adjustments (body position and feet) to react to where the ball falls quickly and get a controlled shot off.

Anyone could be made to look a star in a dvd of clips, but looks like he could potentially do well here if given the chance, by Hurst and by our fans (Clay anyone?).
