Certainly bloated in places, Obikwu to add to that as well, but then short elsewhere. Actually we need another CB with Waterfall gone, I always thought we need 4 - any news on Tharme’s hamstring looked like a pull not a tear but still be a few weeks I expect.

The main issue I continue to see with the front players is that no one else can play the role that Rose does, hence my irritation about Orsi being let go. Not as good as Rose but capable of playing in the role or alongside him in a 2 up.


I’m more comfortable if we have another CB aswell. Thankfully BD seemed to suggest Tharme’s injury isn’t too bad.


All Town aren’t we

Up front is definitely an issue.   It's quite simple at the minute, if Rose is unavailable we're truly copulated.  Obikwu is way, way too inexperienced to do it on his own.  Wilson looks more an impact type sub and Pyke looks far better out wide.  After that we're down to Essel and then Gardner.

I'm almost at the point of discounting both Wilson and Pyke as they don't seem to fit in plans as central strikers nor on the wings.  I'm half expecting both to be going out with a single replacement coming in the other way.

At least at centre-back we've currently got 3 covering 2 places (albeit one maybe injured) but the theory is that Mullarkey could go there (wasn't massively impressed when I saw him there but seen a few things that it's his best position) and I believe Green did a stint for Halifax there too.  

Far from ideal.  But if you present a scenario to me where I have to pick either going with a centre-back pairing of Green and Mullarkey or not having Danny Rose in the side, it's an easy answer.

To be fair to PH his 5-4-1 got us out of jail in the league a few times and past Luton and Soton in the Cup. Not an option for us now letting Efete go and with one out injured. Comes back into play assuming a RB comes in if Mullarky goes in the 3

Just tempering the excitement a bit with the name Danny Rose (the 4G mast Danny Rose).

Came with great pedigree, Portsmouth and Oxford fans had nothing but praise, still had a few years left in him... and he was gash.


Why did you have to remind us of THAT Danny Rose?

The amount of people I've seen listing positions we need players for and not mentioning a striker is frightening. The alternative to Rose is unthinkable at the moment.

Says he was preparing for Cheltenhams game against Wycombe on Saturday, next thing he's signing for Grimsby, so quick turnaround.

I noticed that too, will be good to have a couple of leaders in the team.

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle


We once signed a centre half from Halifax who was over the hill and looked like a sh*t signing at the time. He became a club legend.


As much as I love the sentiment, I find it mad when people pull out something that happened once 6000 years ago like it’s a general rule
