the_mighty_bosh Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Anyone reckon we'll make any signings before 5pm tomorrow? The only player I'd bring in would be a physical, mobile striker who can play the role JCH currently plays in case JCH gets injured. We have other strikers who can play other roles but not for the current set up. The striker wouldn't need to score goals but they'd need to be a workhorse for the rest of the team.

HarryBosch Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If it's not as broke as it was a few games ago don't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 nope due to us having 6 in already on loan, wouldn't mind seeing a striker though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 nope due to us having 6 in already on loan, wouldn't mind seeing a striker though With Byrom and Kissock injured we still have room for 1 more if needed. It's a tricky one because I certainly wouldn't change any of the starting XI and we aren't short of players on the bench, it's just the specific role that JCH plays at the moment which we aren't really covered for and losing him would mean that we'd probably need to change our whole set up.

steveoafc Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I reckon we do need another striker.....someone to take the chances we are making but not taking advantage of. It's been a problem all season and needs addressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStationLatic Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The trouble is where are you going to find a striker of a decent build and physical presence, who can also hit the target reliability. Chances are they'll be at a higher level. I guess we went for that in the form of Stead. Value for money? Turner could play JCH's role it's worth noting. He's good at handling long passes and is a clinical finished. A real prospect. I suppose he could also put Harkins up top. I think he might stick with what we've got.

As stupid as it sounds, I don't think we need some who's going to be prolific. We just need some who's going to bring the rest of the team into play and who's going to be a nuisance for defences. Someone in the Jabo Ibehre mould for example but who's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelatics Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why wasn't Turner on the bench last night or Saturday? Injury or doesn't he fit the profile of a Latics striker - he scores goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Picked up an injury I seem to recall reading. Soft bastard. I hope it was a hardback at least. Edited March 26, 2014 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 After the last couple of games where the boys have finally shown some battling qualities ie some balls, I would hope we have enough to stay up without delving in the market again. The players might see it as a bit of a kick in the teeth , don't you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 We need another striker, will be stunned if we do bring anyone in now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If they do bring in another striker I would have preferred keeping stead and giving him a chance to play himself into some form, which I think he would have done eventually. Let's be honest what sort of quality would be available for loan T this stage of the campaign , I'd guess either totally unproven, which we already have or grossly out of form/shape. Stick with what we got I say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Matt Chambers @Matt_Chambers_ 31m Off to Boundary Park shortly. As it stands, it's unlikely that a move for a loan forward will materialise before today's 5pm deadline. #oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 MENOAFC @MENOAFC Believe #oafc came very close to bringing a certain QPR winger back for a second loan spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
