We need to offload half a dozen or more average players and bring in 2 or 3 of genuine quality if we want to get into contention for the play offs.
Definitely need a left back and a striker who can score. Osborne to return ASAP.

Quoted from ginnywings
I don't think Dixon is as bad as people are saying. He's had some dodgy games, but he's had some good ones as well. The left back we have had training with us for ages came on as a sub in that behind closed doors game with Morecambe last week. He's been hanging around for ages, so can't be totally out of the picture.


Has he? I think there's a problem when a right footed 36 year old is a better option than he is.

I agree with Chaos but what would make “genuine quality” come to us? Loans from bigger clubs?

Unlikely anyone from above us in the pyramid who was decent and has been playing week in week out would drop down for a permanent move

Maybe we look at the best of The National League and kids from U23 sides

Regards being a squad game we have so far relied largely on the following core;

Mckeown, Davies, Mills, Dixon , Clark, Collins, Rose ,Summerfield, Berrett, Woolford, Dembele, DJ, Vernon, Matt, Jones & Hooper  = 16

not alot really considering we are 22 first team games in ( not counting checkatwat trophy ), have had a few injuries and a good deal of suspensions. On that basis do we actually need another 14 players for cover ??

So outside of that if you consider that we have what.....4/5 players out on loan most who arguably seem destined not to return.... 3 or 4 who regularly/ sporadically make the bench but arent used in anger and there are a couple more who are hardly seen anywhere near the matchday squad then i wouldnt be suprised if we dont see 5/6  being off loaded completely either with the clubs they are currently at ,extending loans with a view to a deal and potentially Clifton, Cardwell  also being added to the loaned out list or McAllister on the paid up list.

Left back in without a doubt..has to surely
A rapid direct striker is still something we dont have
A rangey centre mid would also be nice

money,money, money it`s a problem for all clubs at all levels.In Town`s case you probably need to take the odd gamble ala Omar but in the main get in seasoned pro`s or young lads with a point to prove. I like the idea of the lad from Grantham as a gamble but we need another Connor Townsend at LB and a Martin Paterson type young un up front plus to me a commanding Goalkeeper who can distribute the ball better than Macca.

There's plenty of good players in the lower leagues if you's are willing to take a gamble.

Jason Oswell, top scorer in Conference North for Stockport County with 16 goals in 20 games.
Joe Leesley a midfielder for Harrogate Town in brilliant & way too good for this level; wouldn't be surprised if he went to a League 2 team in the coming month(s).

Even ex Town player Ashley Chambers is on fire this season; would love to see a player of his calibre at Darlo.

The loan returnees and also a defender for cover. Scary how light we are in defensive depth. Any other signings after that we'd have to sell first.

I think we only need one or two in, defensive cover and a goal scoring striker from non league somewhere. OSBORNE will be like a new signing to. I think we have a half decent squad if we play the right kind of football. We have a decent defence, our wingers are fast and move the ball quickly. With Osborne we have 3 decent midfielders for league 2 and uptop I've always liked Jones and I think Matt has improved lately. If we could fish the non league and give someone and slowly bring them in through the next couple of months, if they hit the ground running stick him in there.

Why would you play Osborne in midfield? Surely better to keep him as defensive cover?

Now, Jamie Osbourne, on the other hand...
