Does he still feature on the White Board. You have to ask yourself why Salford keep putting him out on loan though.

Two words. Matt Smith.

 

[BoyWonder2]

3rd loan spell in the NL for him, who's ahead of him for Salford?

14 goal Matt Smith.

14 goal Matt Smith.

Is he the same Matt Smith Brown was after a while ago when at QPR?

Bloody embargo has made us missed out on so many signings . Be nice if we could of added 1/2 at the very least ffs Ron

We must be able to put together a pretty decent Missed Out XI from this embargo

You’re not wrong there I think it would hurt us to see some of the quality we have missed out on and players that wanted to join but couldn’t wait forever .

Do not understand everyone’s hard on for Dackers

Think he is perfect for what we’re after. Big, imposing, mobile, can finish and link up play.

He’s not the finished article but our 3 amigos could mould him into a far better player.

There are plenty of other strikers we could look at when the embargo goes

he was an absolute god for me on FM last year. goal machine right up to the Championship. obvs my brilliant tactics helped

 

[The General]

I think Dackers fit in very well and gave us a different option, something fun you really need in this league. The benefit is that he won’t feel like a new boy totally and will know whats expected of him and if we are to bring NY in a number of players in one go, should help the others to gel quickly with the rest of the squad.

Here’s a scout report I’ve written looking at goalkeeper Chris Haigh - someone who I’ve identified as a potential option for us:

Chris Haigh – Scout Report

Using data, I have identified Ebbsfleet United goalkeeper Chris Haigh as a potential transfer target for Southend United. Haigh – 26-years-old and a former Concord Rangers player – is c…

Moneyball! Data is the way of the now and future. I hope the 3 amigos are aware of what you do!

Dackers is a really good player. However, is he what we need right now? If we are only adding 2-3 once embargo is lifted then I would think we are only looking at top quality signings that can add value immediately and/or give us different tactical options. Not sure Dackers gives us anything new or different and not sure he is good enough to challenge Cardwell for starting 9.

Why sign 1/2 a player? We already have Powell when fit.

Powell’s not back til February. A lot of games played between now and then. And Harry Cardwell is not the most resilient when it comes to avoiding the treatment room.

I’d definitely take him yeah. Think he is what we need, better depth in quality.

Whooooosh!

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I wonder if Josh Kelly will be looking to quit Solihull? IIRC it was the Ron factor which stopped him coming here over a year ago.
He must have been impressed by The Hall, unimpressed by Moors support and if on a 2 year contract be a free in May or a small fee mid season?

Harry C hasn't missed a game this season through injury. That would be resilient enough for me.

 

[Bromley Blue]

Whooooosh!

Yeah defo missed that one. Re-read the original post earlier and realised I’d had a mare. Apologies.

I agree but given his previous injury record I’d still feel more comfortable if we had some decent backup. But this is all kinda moot considering the original post was made in jest.
