Braintree’s finances.

The owner has written a lot of cheques and realised he's gone OTT

 

[Booma]

If we announce 2 strikers in one day...

Steady!

 

[Rock Lobster]

Presumably if we got both it would buy COSU another 50 days before people were demanding statements and whatnot

To be fair , I think many of the people who would welcome an update on off the pitch developments, have tended to be more relaxed about the need to get signings over the line the day before yesterday.

I remember the day we announced Rhys Murhpy, thinking "we finally have a striker!"

 

[Roger The Alien]

Hope you are right, we need a striker, as I will give up watching England tomorrow night and watch Southend Utd instead, that is far more important than England promotion bid from B Zone.

I hope we can help Braintree Town by buying their tickets and bring over 3k of us there on new year day.

Bonne appetite

Murphy was a good footballer unfortunately for us injury prone & spent to much time in the treatment room

 

[WillMay333]

Remember going to Yoevil last season in the cup and he was quite decent, such a shame

If it's true that Braintree have overreached with their finances is there any likelihood of Powell coming back, his pressing has been missed.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

We definitely need a boost in the striking department.Effiong seems to be match fit as he has started the season although been off the bench last Saturday replacing Akinde late on.Dont think Bonne has played anywhere so a question as to his match fitness similar to Pepple.We trust that Kev and co make the right decision who comes in hopefully tomorrow but more likely Saturday

Did wonder how they were signing all these players and funding the recruitment.

He is hardly getting a start at Braintree however we need a target man who can score and assist in scoring unfortunately Powell cant do either

Had this exact thought over the weekend, for the same reasons....

TBF, I liked Powell and think his pace and running from deep is something we are lacking. As long as he's not judged on goal output as I think thats not his strength. 100% would have him back.

Doesnt mean we cant have both...

Sounds like a bit of the old "kid in a sweetshop" who's pick & mix has just been weighed scenario

He'd be good at defending corners though. I'll have a word with Snow White to see if he is available.

Only if you wanted the scoreboard to have a few broken tiles in it or the clock to no longer work.

Indeed, as @Hooly knows only too well............
