Not much of a market for them at the moment. I'd like to think there might be sometime soon, though.

I'm not sure the gods of football have forgiven us yet for letting Podge Amond walk away...


To be fair, we had a lad on 19 league goals by the next January

,,,who was always going to move on to better things, whereas Podge could still be with us now, converting the chances we aren't taking..

Town always will have a problem scoring goals as any decent striker moves on. Things won't change unless/until we get more money and more ambition
into the mainstream of the club.

I can accept us selling a star striker, but to let one walk away....beyond senseless, to my way of thinking at least. 37 goals. Think about it.

Yeah but they were all 'easy' goals- he couldn't score against decent sides. Always scores against us though.

We couldn't have kept Bogle who should now be set up for life despite not really pushing on. Amond was different, though I hear he was pushing for a move pretty much as soon as he signed. I also hear we did agree a contract with him then changed the terms of the deal.

Anyway, we have Akeem Rose who doesn't look up to it IMO, Matt Green, on his way down, couldn't get a game in the National league last season who is 33 next week despite giving his all, he is fading, 32 year old James Hanson who is arguably past his best, and 23 year old Harry Cardwell who it's fair to say hasn't set the world alight (some may be surprised he isn't a kid).

My point is signing these players are conscious decisions taken by Michael Jolley. In fairness, all are giving their all, Green and Hanson are knocking on a bit, and we haven't exactly played to Hanson's strengths, he's been carrying knocks for a while.  

I have a lot of time for Akeem Rose in particular who gives everything, the jury is out on his abiity, but he isn't far away. Fortunately, we have Charles Vernam who I really think can be quality for us, he was excellent last game v the filth, it's fair to say he needs to step up now. Playing him wide won't help.

We need two new strikers, simple as that due to poor and short sighted signing policy.

Hey, I'm a broad-minded kind of guy...I don't mind if Town score easy goals!
