4 days to get a man or 2 in.

I see Dackers has just forced a save for Morecambe their cup match V Chelsea. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we sure could do with him now.

There's a bloke called Coulthirst who scored a hat-trick for Maidstone this afternoon. Is he worth a look?

 

[JB Shrimper]

Whilst I have no doubt you were chuffed that we signed both of them, not everyone was. Some were more circumspect, some heeded Jonny Stokes’ warning on both players. But I’m sure it was also Maher’s fault both players stunk at their previous clubs and fans were so relieved to see them go.

Some ws you say were dubious, however you are not one of them. When we got him you said:

This is a big signing.

For some it’s a big signing as they love the big names.

For COSU it’s a big signing as this will be a substantial wage.

For Maher it’s a big signing as he’s staking a substantial part of his remaining wage budget.

For me it’s a big signing as I think this is likely in time to force a change in how we play as I think we may need to move more away from the press to accommodate him and possibly move from the single pivot to more of a double pivot with Moncur of ahead of them, more of a 3-4-1-2. Interested to hear @ShrimperStats’ views on how he’d fit into our current system.

With York signing Josh Stones I wonder if we’d consider Dipo Akinyemi.

Won’t afford him
Plus scores goals so not what we are looking for

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

With York signing Josh Stones I wonder if we’d consider Dipo Akinyemi.

He's like an older version of Bim Pepple, the way he plays, and a perfect replacement. Would be great, but can't see it as he starts most games for York, and would cost a hefty fee, even if they did let him go.

 

[Chrisb]

I am sure there an interview with GM, whilst he was regaining fitness, where he said once he had gone on a run he didn't have the legs for a decent shot - nothing to do with any instructions from KM.

Ogunleye got his 25th of the season for Brentwood today

 

[WestyReturns]

Or you could argue it’s poor recruitment. Signing a player who doesn’t fit the system. It was almost as if we signed him based on his name/pedigree and assumed he could play in a slightly different role to what he’d played in previously. Unfortunately it didn’t work, but that’s football

Exactly. Regardless of the excuse it's still really poor signing either way which the manager takes responsibility for! He might not have been he's first choice but he still picked him. How many managers get their first choice players all the time unless your at Man City, Real Madrid or Bayern?

Thought he stood out against us in the cup. Looked direct and tricky

 

[hlane17]

Hence a failure to adapt his game especially at a lower level which should have been achievable with the right effort and application

I don't disagree

 

[Smiffy]

Ogunleye is 100% someone we should be taking a punt on. 23 years old and scoring goals for fun just down the road. Won’t be a huge outlay in terms of fee or wage surely. Not sure if his work outside of football earns him a good salary though. Would be very surprised if other teams weren’t looking at him. Depends what the computer says though I guess.

It's the type of signing someone like Barnet would make. Hope we can get him as could have something about him

 

[SUFCGoals]

I guarantee you if we sign this Ogunleye he won’t score more than 10 goals this season. Without sounding brutal I don’t think he is currently or ever will be National League quality.

I’d take 10 goals from now until May

10 goals in 20 games? Yes please!

he scores goals which dosent suit our formations or the way we play .

You what mate?

Doesn’t matter what formation or tactics you play. The aim is always to score goals.
