We're going places with Thomas, Cook up front...... I'll get my coat.

Quoted from forza ivano
i guessed him a couple of weeks ago when someone posted that he'd heard we were in for an Oxford player (so that makes it 1 correct guess in almost 30 attempts!). Seems like mainly positive comments on their forum, although it seems debateable that he's a big hold up striker.Mentions that he's a goal poacher and likes ball played down the channels. Whether he's quick also seems to be a moot point .apparently was on good money when he was there (but that can't possibly be true as JF never opens his wallet, other than to pay a pittance to players no one else wants)


Even if he's not necessarily a hold up player, if he likes the ball into channels then that will create room for Cook and Vernam to advance in to. We could put Hooper on the left side like we finished the season with now and that will make us more effective. I'd like to see us try this tomorrow in midfield and in front:

         Welsh    Hess
Cook     Vernam    Hooper
             Big Wes

Allow Vernam and Cook the freedom to roam a little bit. It won't be perfect having Davis behind Cook but once RHJ is fit and able to push forward it'll give Cook more freedom to roam without compromising on our width. But that improves our mobility, gives us a target up front even if not in the sense of a traditional target man and means we don't need to play both Welsh and Woolford which makes us too pedestrian. Still concerns elsewhere on the pitch but it's better than it was.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

Has scored goals previously!!!!! Looks a decent signing, let’s hope he is and I’m looking forward to seeing him play. Our forwards are hugely lacking in experience and he changes that.

This guy is proven in experience and imo looking at some of his goals this signing is a coup for us imo.
