Really dissapointed we didnt bring a striker in as i dont think the present batch are up to the job or inequiped
to cope with the demands of division 1 physicaly. I feel we could look back with regret towards the end of
the season.

Browny is back

Yes Browny is the answer but sadly i think he cannot be relied on to play an aceptable amount of games in a season.

last week the chairman said we were expecting a striker on trial in the programme, doesnt look as though that happened.

We do need one as well, we should treat any game Brown plays as a bonus as experience has shown he struggles badly with fitness.

I think the idea that Brown is injury prone is a bit of a myth, i think he's played neck end of a 130 games for us in the last 5 years which aint a bad record.

He hasn't struggled with fitness, he has struggled with injuries. As long as he can stay injury free there is no reason he can't play 46 league matches a season!

You are missing the point, the chairman said there was a striker going to be on trial, havent heard anything since.

If we can''t afford one on our budget then that is understandable,and I have no problem with it, but I expected a striker in on trial after reading the programme notes.

As for who could we get I don't know, but would hope Wadsworth and the clubs contacts would be a bit better than mine, I had never heard of Poole before he signed.

As for Brown, agree I should have said injuries and not fitness.

But if the guy is a regular starter (and he is) then we play about 50 games a season---250 games over 5 years, 150 games played means he has missed 2/5s of the time....not a good injury record.

... don't forget we need 30 plus goals a season out of him, entertaining football and a willingness to pat children on the head and generally be wonderful.

Fabian Brandy just go and get him as I said before on here he murdered us the day we played Hereford
We did come out with a victory that day, he was there best player that day and I checked up on him as I did not believe he was there's he wasn't he belonged to Man Utd
I can not believe he has not got a club

He also went on loan to Gillingham following that spell scored on his debut and was star man

it does'nt work
I'm just highlighting the fact we are carrying a lot of deadwood and that a player like gordon watson is worth his weight in gold (or worth 6 mediocre players anyway).

Scored on his debut for Gillingham and man of the match, failed to score again in his other 6 matches.

Ex Man U, England under 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20 international, he would want more than we can afford to pay.

He has not got a job or a club at 21 year old he'd have to take what we could offer .......not that we will like I was just giving my suggestion to sir chip as he couldn't think of one that we could afford...... Although I don't know how he knows what we can afford :roll:

I'm not ........Sir Chip instructed people to suggest such a Striker as he could not think of one...... Young Fabian was my choice that I thought fitted the bill.
