Reality Check

Quoted from AlwaysHaddock1878

That’s not my job as I’m not the manager.

The risk of not bringing anyone in was paying off but the bubble seems to have burst, therefore the situation needs to be reassessed.

You, I, plenty of fans, Paul Hurst (and others) may think we desperately need a striker...but if the guy ain't out there and available?

(Reality check)

Here they come, couldn't wait to post could he.

Really! he's quite correct, almost 1000 souls paid out to watch a high riding team get beaten by lower level opposition, what do you want him to do celebrate.
We needed another striker all season and it's starting to show

If your going to let a few close defeats define the start to the season then you better stop supporting Town now ..... Fenty defined a huge part of the club's history with little or no hope going forward . The new owners have given us back our club and hope .  

Fenty 😂😁😂😁😂😂😂

You're only as good as your last result, and our last result was pretty terrible. This could be our best chance for a decade to get back up, so we need to make a deal happen, if we don't want to be marooned at this level long term.

I think this is really important. Once they bring in this outrageous cap on spending it's going to be far harder to get out of this shite league. We're in a good position, given ourselves a head start on a lot of rivals with 70% of the season to go and our attendances are way up on what must have been expected. If ever there was a time to push the boat out a bit, for the right player or two, then it is now.

Quoted from AlwaysHaddock1878

Worrying third consecutive 1-0 defeat on the bounce. Looks as if teams have found the blueprint to beat us.

We’ve been below par in the league since the Altrincham game but scraping results had masked it. Looks like the mask is slipping.

Desperately need another striker and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fckwit.

Time to focus on getting wins on the football pitch instead of anything else going on at the club. Massive massive game next weekend.

If you’d stopped before your last paragraph you might have got more agreement.

Disagree. Football clubs should concentrate on winning football matches first and foremost.

We'll be back to winning ways next week dont worry.

It really felt like the 5 at the back system cost us today. No one looked familiar and by the time we’d changed it, it was too late as they had the confidence and momentum.

More than one deal imho..

Need to find a striker, another link between the striker and midfield and another creative central midfielder especially if Grant and Scannell aren't going to be fit much. It would be a gamble to rely on them anyway. We need enough to see us through injuries and losses of form to get promoted. Signing just a forward will nowhere near be enough. Hurst is going to have to treat January like a mini summer transfer window to catch up with the depth in squad of the likes of Chesterfield, who I think maybe the yardstick this season..

From what I've seen and against teams in a fairly easy run of games at the start of this season, we're a bit further away from promotion probables than most fans think on here..

We look like a half decent side with a few gaps in quality to be right at the very top end of the division come May..

Play-off competitive yes, but potential champions elect? Nah..
