Not sure if you went last night but wood offers nothing going forward at all. As soon as it’s into his feet he just attempts to cross is. Doesn’t track back very well either. He’s a left back at best. I think he will be released once his contract comes up.

 

I think he's got 2 years left. Unfortunately, we've got a number of poor players on long term contracts.

Hopefully, we can get Akpan, Doyle & O'Donnell to move on in January, as they will only have 6 months left and we obviously won't be renewing.

That could free up 8-10k a week in wages.

 

I imagined a team this season, modelled on how Bowyer set Blackpool up, of big athletic lads like Omari who could actually play a little. How wrong was i.

 

Poor comment with very little substance...!

 

Rightly so, utter waste of space.

 

Doyle's performances this season and to an extent last season have been embarrassing. It's not like the money from our season tickets pays his wages or anything..

 

Signing from a big club doesn't guarantee anything (see Riley for reference). Another battler like the 2 O'Briens would be good. Agree about just announcing a signing or two though.

 

Get the midfield sorted and chances will
be created and who knows,goals might
be scored!

Last season..............
We were very,very limited in options and
suffered the consequences.We need to
invest enough to sort out our achilles heel.

 

I think most thought with the players Bowyer signed and a clean slate for other players who didn't perform last season we'd be better than we have shown certainly performance wise.

 

Ok so you condone it ( your choice) but what is it achieving??

 

People are venting their frustration with him, I don't think it achieves much personally but I can see why some people feel the need.

 

The comments and likes about Doyle from August posts make interesting reading.

 

Taylor isn't that bad - he's a 32 year old with no outstanding features whatsoever, but that makes him bang average.

He's also been our most likely goalscorer in more than one game

 

Well he hooked Reeves at half time and to be honest it could have been either, or any of the other 9.

 

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this in this thread, but Emmanuel Osadebe has just left his contract with Macclesfield as they weren't paying him. He's 6ft1 and I think he would suit how we play and be that more dominant force in the middle. Hopefully he might be in contention.

 

Isn’t he more of a right-midfielder than a ‘dominant force in the middle’ though? He did get released before deadline day, but I’m not sure he’s for us.

I do hope that whoever comes in addresses the lack of bite in the centre of the park. But who is available? What about going for the lad training at Newport?

is the loan window still available until Friday?

 

Can’t say I see McHugh as what we need right now. He was an average smallish centre half at best.

 

If McCall's last spell was anything to go by it's not really that important. We went unbeaten at home as teams were petrified of pressing us or trying to come out and play. They can't score if we have the ball and McCall teams can keep the ball for fun.

 

Well I think Stu should put on his boots. Just seen a training vid, he is running with the ball and bouncing it on his toes and knees to control it, he still has it at 53!
