What do we need?

  We have already said we have made an offer for a forward, Josh Stones if available would be my choice but trust the management,
   Two may already be in the house, Faulkner is our best out and out defender and poses a threat in the oppositions area from set pieces and when sent forward. We need to start getting clean sheets and solve the problem of direct running and squaring up defenders teams are doing it more often now they have twigged a weakness at the back.
  Flint is having a great loan, is a good defensive midfielder with vision and can put a foot in and like Faulkner is quick or apart from Olowu quicker than most of what we have now.
  They both need game time here and will improve and were a formidable pair in the u18s.
 
   
 

Stones’ loan runs out at the start of January.

What sort of striker is he Selby? He looks like a rugby league player.

It does make you wonder how much some managers look at the size or physicality of a player alongside his footballing skills.

When you look at some of the sides we have played this season and over the last few years it always looks like they are bigger and stronger than us in size and physicality. I always look at the two sides as they exchange handshakes before the start of the game, its very rare that an opposition look or are smaller than us.

When you think back to some of the games where we have struggled to impose our game on the opposition its usually to a side with size, height and just brute strength. At this level athleticism gives you a fighting chance.

We need something, the amount of times our "footballers" are run off the ball and manhandled like little kids is quite depressing to watch.

We need a blend of footballing ability but with the desire and determination to counter some of these lower league sides who have majored on size.

Yes this! Been saying it for ages, which is why it was so good to see McGrath manhandling a beefy player the other week. Can’t remember which game but it did make me smile.
