Sod the loans. We need to buy.

Two of our rivals are fielding quarter mil forwards. If we are serious about getting out of this division any time soon we need top add to our attacking options.

Don't bring in a kid on loan. Buy a decent player. It will be an investment.

I am hoping that a fully fit Scannell and Grant will strengthen us, but we must add another goalscorer to the squad.


Scannell is fully fit, I heard it from his own mouth at the Oaklands last weekend…he said his face just doesn’t fit, only came here for Holloway.

It seems suspicious to me that Scannell is suddenly fully fit as he's approaching the last 6 months of his deal. If his face didn't fit he would have been with Gibson, Morais, Rose and Jackson Jr.

The fact he was given the number 11 shirt suggests to me that Hurst had hopes for him this season.

He might be fit, but with about half an hours play all season he isn’t match fit.

As for face fitting, virtually every one of Holloway’s signings has been shown the door apart from him. I wouldn’t say that pointed to someone whose face didn’t fit.

Which means that, assuming you did actually talk with him, it is the usual ‘I am not playing because my face doesn’t fit’ horsesh8t that players often come out with because they haven’t dedicated themselves enough to their profession, or done the things asked of them, and so they come up with an excuse and blame somebody else.

The problem with good goalscorers is they're like gold dust and would cost a fortune. What Hurst needs to do is repeat his previous trick of unearthing another Amond - who we grabbed from under the radar because he wasn't even playing as a striker at the time we signed him!

The player we splashed cash out for was Bogle. That worked pretty well as I recall. We got promoted and then made £750k profit selling him.

I think that qualifies as a good investment.

TBH i am not expecting to much in this window,, we are too far behind Chesterfield  Notts co etc  in almost every department and would take a miracle to catch them . Hurst missed his chance to go for it back in the summer and failed big time . The only way to get out tis tin pot league is to spend  and pray . Its no good hoping luck will come our way . And even next year there will be 3/4 big spenders trying to get out of here and then there is the fool with lots of cash to put in to a team just like this year . It dont look good for us getting out of here if ever

So everything is hopeless/over/f*cked. Bet you’re a laugh to be around at Christmas. Jesus. Give up.

To think we splashed a lot of that cash on players like Asante, Clements and Sam Jones who ended up being paid off or leaving for free.
