I agree. Probably the only hope is a decent youngster or two on loan.stagmanrob wrote:If we do sign anyone they'll either be desperate or coming here for the wrong sort of reasons.
No half decent player with ambition is going to want to come here if they look at the league position, manager's record, and do any research into his god awful tactics and system.

Cheltenham were chasing the game last night and they switched from a 3-5-2 system to a 4-2-3-1. It didn't work and they conceded a third goal when they were going to three at the back in the last 5 minutes.
GC needs to work on having his back three being more comfortable bringing the ball out of defence and even pushing forward when we are on the attack. Rollin Menayese and Ryan Sweeney can both do this if coached well. Farrend Rawson is not as good at doing this but we could drop James Perch into the middle of the back three with Ollie Clarke/George Maris playing as a more advanced holding midfield player and Ollie Clarke/George Maris and Harry Charsley further forward.
I'm sure Alistair Smith and Mal Benning could also play in a back three if necessary and bring the ball out of defence and look for a pass. Alistair Smith is tall enough to make a decent defender. He just needs to toughen up a bit.
Perhaps we can also work on having one of our players delivering a long throw. Cheltenham scored their first goal on Saturday from a Ben Tozer long throw. It could be a useful weapon with the likes of Cook, Menayese, Sweeney and Rawson in the area.

I don't think you watch the EFL Trophy so you will have missed this one

Have we even made a chance like that this year?

Your comments are usually pretty good but I do think this time you are expecting a great deal from players who can't do there expected job nevermind putting Smith and or Benning in a back three etc.
Opinions are just that, take care.

No. Get a new source
I would say there will be a few of those in that category looking for a club.Martin Shaw wrote:Sedgwick wrote:Been told if we win Saturday, Loans might be signed to strengthen.. is that right, we can sign loan players after Friday??
no it's not right. The transfer deadline is Oct 16.
After that you can just sign players who were out of contract before Oct 16.
