Our moves will be towards the end of January i reckon although maybe one earlier to replace Danny and possibly short term possible to cover Tanser depending on how long he is to be out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we give melamed a chance before writing him off? Hendry needs a loan to find his form Other two can slip away. saint in the city 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 There's no way we'd be as drastic as that. I could possibly see Melamed going home, Hendry going out on loan. Coming in - Brown from Millwall on loan, perhaps a striker on loan? I would hope we're looking towards next season already - a lot of players out of contract, we need to get pre-contracts signed up early.

Why would those players simply leave when they have contracts until the end of the season? And why would we want to ditch Hendry when we've seen what a good player he can be for us? Would it not be way more beneficial to work towards getting his form back up again? Personally I'd still like us to go with May and Hendry up front in the 3-5-2 that Tommy had introduced towards the end of last season. That would give us a strike pairing with a bit of support, and an extra central midfielder instead of loads of players getting in each other's way on the wings. dave mc, mainstand, Wendy Saints and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Would doubt Bryson can play for anybody else this season ? so he will be here to the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, played for us and Aberdeen so can't play for another club. He and Conway won't be leaving anyway. We have about 19 outfield players as it is so I'm not sure why we'd go for any less, especially when we've lost McNamara and have a total unknown coming in.

I take it you think the answer to our current predicament is to stick with Kane, May or Hendry then. I mean, I don’t blame you as it has served us very well so far.

I am not convinced guy is the answer and I have no reason to think that he would do any better than any of the rest of the strikers. Do I think the strikers will come good - possibly but I think they need a bit of assistance from maybe a loanee. It's okay blaming strikers but our midfielders are not chipping in either with the goals we need. R.B.B:- Adz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay blaming strikers but our midfielders are not chipping in either with the goals we need. Most teams get goals from midfield or defenders. We don't seem to be able to get a goal from open play or set pieces. Don't have the answer but it looks like something has to change ,whether it is formation or training.

Even before Melamed arrived I was sceptical about how beneficial it would be to bring in a new striker but stick with the same system. I think we'd get a lot more out of May and Hendry (both of whom have previously demonstrated an ability to score regularly) if we were to try playing more to their strengths.

When a team isn't scoring, the fans shout "bring in a striker who can score". If the system doesn't suit the players, then it's just not going to happen. We don't have the budget to bring in a player who can score out of nothing. May & Hendry have shown themselves to be good enough strikers when the tactics, etc. are right for them.
