SweeperKeeper Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Curle's remarks in the Oldham Times about the club not holding a grudge against players who turned us down hoping for a better offer really sound like a targeted message to someone or other... What trialists did we have over summer who are still without a club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it could be Furman, given that he's only on a short term deal at Alty. Not sure we needed him in the first place, but now we have Bowden, Bettache and Hopcutt it would be a weird signing. Was there anyone who trialled who ended up completely without a club? Danns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What trialists did we have over summer who are still without a club? We had the local lad who played for Norwich and Huddersfield. We had Danns, who would've been a great signing a few years ago. I think he's been a a Welsh club. We had Furman, who i thought had gone to Wrexham, having turned us down (why, i don't know - he was offered free pies and Bovril...and we're talking unlimited), but now he's gone to Alty. All midfield, but we've now got Whelan, Cissy, Bowden, Vaughan, Bettache and Hopcutt (and maybe DKD is better coming in from midfield), so we're actually looking quite strong in that department. What we need is a good striker and, for me, a good right-back and a switch to 433. the said, Cissy is out for at leat two months and Hopcott for a month, so maybe it will be a midfield player. I think Badan and Jameson should be moved on/loaned out for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying out for a real number 9, one that can bully defenders, win headers, hold the ball up, score a few and bring others into play. Failing that, get a center half in and put Pidge number 9.... sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but we don't have that either really plus he will need to play with his back to goal he's technically poor. He's not a centre forward in a million years. Leave him at the back and let him come up for set pieces that's where he's most effective. As for us playing a big number 9 we'll that's one option but we didn't play with one last season infact we played a false 9 and 2 wide forwards and finished 2nd highest scorers in the league so its not a prerequisite for scoring goals at this level. Doesn't mean I wouldn't take one but their is more than 1 way to skin a cat, we just need atleast 1 more competent forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another fan Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Did a previous manager play Ian Woods as a centre forward with some success many years ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Woody was totally different to Piergianni, much more mobile and skilful with a decent shot in him. I think Allan Hunter was pushed up front a couple of times ( maybe never started there though ) but even he was more mobile than Pidge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximus1267 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 All opinions, I think we need a presence up top tho, were not getting a proven 20 goal a season striker in, fact. Doesnt mean we cant score goals tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 We played Steve Redmond up front against Stoke in a Cup Match we had so many injuries amongst strikers. We didn’t score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris15Arm Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 One thing that does frustrate me is ten mims to go and losing, he should be throwing pierrgianni up front. That's how football always used to work. Losing in the last 10, then throw your biggest centre half up front. Happemed with dion Dublin and he stayed there for his career haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hull, like us took the EFL loan with the same limitations, yet they signed Tyler Smith from Sheff. Utd. for an undisclosed fee. How does that work then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
