Most can see it's what we need but I doubt there be anymore sadly as BBM just plays the same system with one up top, for me its just this left back which is what we have needed all season really. This window is hardly been backing BBM for a promotion push in my opinion but I think most of us knew this. For me one loan is pathetic for a push on and another back up goal keeper.



It won' t be murphys fault if we don' t get promotion he could' nt do anymore .


Tan’s??

If we fail now this is all on the board bbm has worked miracles with what he's been given

Just a bit dissapointed watching our rivals strengthen considerably whilst we pray we have enough as we are

I think a left back was what we needed and delighted we’ve got one. I think under Bbm big clubs think we are a good club to send young players to, especially looking at how kellyman is developing here. If I was being greedy I’d like a centre forward over 6ft to ease the burden on salech but we’ve covered the position we really needed to.

I get we could ideally use another number 9 - thing is, what striker would we get? We aren't able to spend the amount a decent striker would cost, and who in their right mind would sell us a decent striker, so we look at loans I guess?

Watching Kellyman v Barnsley we were very fluid, he scored a lovely goal from Willock's pass, very quick feet moving the ball from right to left first touch, passing the ball into the net on the run a la Jimmy Greaves.

Robbo is no target man, he does do well on link up play but the only time it hits his head is usually by accident, or he's 4 yards out. So we play with the ball on the deck which is I think our preferred style this season?

I think if the alternative was a striker on loan who hasn't played much and would need a month to get match fit, I would prefer to stick with Kellyman who is now in good nick and scoring.

If we need to stick a big fella up front the last 10 minutes, we could do worse than Fishy.

Totally agree we've got what we needed in an ideal world we'd have brought in a lump of a centre forward too but that's pretty much what every club in the country would like so it wouldn't be coming cheap

I just don't think BBM wants players not playing week on week. Another proper 9 is similar to a keeper; they can only play one position, whereas we have a fluid squad.
