He's scored 6 goals this season (3 in one Checkatrade game). That would still make him second highest scorer in our team.

Isn’t that the problem in that our other frontmen have had the chances but not put them away. Nothing against anyone but we cannot just rely on one person up front being able to take the chances when they come.It has been a problem in that we keep getting a red card meaning that we have to put a single person upfront.

I fail to see the point in getting a loan signing. 16 games left. If we average 2 points a game (promotion form) that puts us on 69 points, probably not enough for a play off spot based on previous seasons. If we average 1 point per game (relegation form) that puts us on 53 points, enough not to go down. We need to be playing those that will be here next season.

Not sure about this. Our issue isn't finishing, it's creating chances. And he doesn't seem to do anything in games other than score from what I've seen. Which is great if you're creating chances but we aren't. We've got a player in Thomas who has proven he can score if chances present themselves and I don't think adding Dennis will mean we suddenly start creating more.


just a bit of a left field thought. he couldn't be getting dennis in as a potential replacement for Thomas (apparently thomas is a southern bod and has all his family down this way)?

I'd love to see Dennis in a Town shirt. He's a proven goalscorer at this level.
Yes, creating chances is a problem, but I've not read anywhere that signing Dennis means we can't bring in anyone else!

I’d argue it’s both!

Don’t really see any bad in this if true. He’s a very good goal scorer at this level, and we’re not commiting with a loan.

If anything happened to Wes, we’d be screwed up top.

Maybe we are looking at him for next season? If County go down, I'm guessing they'll want to be getting rid? He's 28 and Wes Thomas is 32. Thomas isn't a long term solution (as much as I like him as a player).

I assume we are playing 3-5-2, so Dennis will partner Thomas?  Cardwell to make way would be my guess..

My gut feeling is Thomas won't be here next season. The year contract here was most likely personally to keep himself in the shop window in the hope of a club signing him closer to home next season..

Dennis is probably a decent punt to see if he can re-ignite his career in a loan spell with a view to making him an offer in the summer if it was successful. Proven goalscoer, just depends whether he's still got it in him at League Two level..
