They need 9-10 wins and a few draws and they can come at any time. Still quite a bit of time to get it right from jan onwards By the end of December we will have played every team What makes you think the next results against them will be any different ?

Whilst I genuinely want the team to pull themselves away from the trapdoor into Non League football, unless we miraculously lift the transfer embargo and are able to find a forward who knows where the net is, our results will continue as they are We simply cannot continue to rely on two other teams in the league being worse than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 IMO It’s really quite simple…paying the EFL loan off and bringing in a striker, I think, would see us safe….continue as we are with this shot shy lot and we will be odds on for relegation!

Team is all new, everyone generally improves in second half of year so no reason to suggest we won’t. Listen I still think we will prob go but there’s still plenty of hope. Shez saved a team who were out of their depth as much as this one are but in a div higher and further behind points wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shez saved a team who were out of their depth as much as this one are but in a div higher and further behind points wise. Shez signed several players in January which got us over the line players like Anthony Gerrard and Amardi Holloway. If we don't do the same this January which currently looks unlikely we are down.

bluehobbit Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 We need a goal scorer and badly - worst thing is we arguably need a front 2. Dearnly clearly not fit - I wonder if he will ever be 100% again. Hope hasn't worked out for him and doesn't look like changing. We have managed a couple of clean sheets but goals change games and we don't score enough... Our top scorer has 5 goals, after that bam has 4 and Pidge has 3. FGR have 2 players in double figures and and 5 players with more than 2 goals. Even mid table Hartlepool have about 7 players with more than 1 goal scored. We just don't carry any threat.

We just don't carry any threat. can’t see us signing anyone. We are really struggling up top but I’m just hoping a different style gets us creating a bit more. Under curle we barely got a cross in and on tues we finally got full backs overlapping and balls in box. Dkd scored double figs last year, hope got 14 in this league pre Covid so they can do it. It’s a stretch as hope especially has been shite but let’s see what selim can get out of them for 5/6 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DKD will get a few more before season finishes but he needs a partner to play off. Facing goal there is a chance of him getting a goal but with his back to it. His touch and control and lack of physicality let him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester United's Charlie McNeill might be one to check out, decent scoring record this season with the u23s. Local lad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
