New signing today

[C V Shrimper]

Barker was in the East Stand on Saturday. If he does leave, then like Cresswell, he has handled the situation well.

Was that Cowan he was sitting with? There were 2 others there plus Hurst,both wearing Southend gear, I didn't recognise either of them.

Perhaps it was these two?

If Only!!!!!! Perhaps one day. :winking:

Surely Bale will want to go somewhere where he is guaranteed playing time? I can't see him pushing Straker out of the first team!

if bale is prepared to bide his time and work hard, he could be a useful addition to the squad

 

[Muttley]

Apparently its Don Cowan
Not the answer in my opinion
Still lacking goals.
I doubt Reid will be the answer, but hopefully he comes good with a new challenge

 

[Shrimper95]

I don't mind Don Cowan coming in on a short term deal because if he wants to extend it he will need to put in the performances. He also gives us a different option compared to other strikers however I would prefer to get Forte in.

I am gonna stick my neck out and say Don Cowan wont score 5 goals this season.

To be fair we all said the same about Tomlin and look what happened there. If his pace can stretch defences it may well be worth the low risk (pay as you play ) contract he has been offered.

Tomlin had scored 6 in 10 while on loan at Gillingham, but Cowan hasn't played much at all in the last 3 years.

I doubt he will start more than 10 games this season for us, but hope I'm wrong.

Too be fair, all of Brown's signings so far seem to be decent - and what he has done to Straker is almost like a new signing too.

I thought Cowan was ok v Chelmsford, so happy to give him a good crack.

wind your neck in son!

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Cowan's O.K., but to fill the last spot in the squad, then no. We could do better. A striker with pace that will score goals.

 

[DTS]

To be fair to PB if it is a pay as you play deal what has he got to loose.

A place in the squad if we're still under embargo?

Maybe Barker is off thus keeping a place open even if we do sign cowan?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Maybe he's the new Leon Constantine!

 

[TrueBlue]

So whats the word then?? who is it?

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Forte I hope!! Cowan should be playing for Braintree to get games!
