Suspect he isn't fit enough so would not play much before Christmas after which we could use the transfer window instead.

THIS!

I would have taken a chance but if the other two lads arent getting a look in then whats to say SEB would have made the bench..

We need somebody to help Andre, NP isn't the answer and Betinho seems to be a publicity signing. He would have had a pre-season in Lisbon plus 6 weeks training with us and he's still not playing. Why wasn't he playing last Saturday perfect time to get some game time under his belt plus Hudders are always a tough match at any level. Can except if he was our signing and he was one for the future and may take time to develop. But he's a loanee and will be gone come May.

You seem to continually suggest versions of this. It's clear that we can't play 12 men, so what you are really asking for is to change our formation to play 2 up front. That just ain't gonna happen, is it? we've played 4-4-3, or versions of that, for some years and only gone 4-4-2 - or 4-2-4, 3-3-4, 3-2-5 - when we're in the final minutes chasing a game. This season, we've recruited to give more fluidity to the 2 wide attackers and 2 forward midfielders and it's beginning to be more effective, witnessed by the players scoring for us. The loss of Hogan, albeit unproven, has meant that Gray has had almost the entire responsibility for central attack, which he and we could not have expected; he has over-performed. Whatever, we're not going to play two up top, so you need to change your tune.

His name is an anagram of "Knives lanky babes", so it's a NO from me.

4-4-3 is cheating. :nono:

Ooops! You know it's 4-3-3 really but I was thinking of Magic's 4-4-3 formation with "somebody helping Andre" in a 4-4-(2+1).;)

When I have ever said we should change our formation from the start of a game, 4-3-3 has suited us for a number of years. Not sure if you attend games but Andre gives everything for 70 minutes and then he's had it. This is he's first season above conference and he has been outstanding for us but I don't want him burned out my xmas. We have NP and Betinho as replacement who either are not good enough or so called not ready. If Andre does get injured which I hope he doesn't we have NP & Betinho. If Betinho was the answer surely we would have seen him by now for more then one development game and 15 minutes in a dead game v's Middlesbro.

When I said help, I meant by being good enough to replace him when he has run out of gas, because you may or not have notice we miss him when he's replace by NP.

So, what you actually mean is not that Andre needs help but that we need a suitable and equal replacement for when he tires or is unavailable. Plus that you do not think Proschwitz is that player or that the management think Betinho is fit and ready. I don't think you will find many disagreeing with that.

Some are willing to be more patient with our players, but you have summed it up quite well.

Do you think we need another striker ?
You should have said something in the suimmer about this.....
 

Sylvain Ebanks-Blake

Wanted a quick yes or no from us which we weren't prepared to give yet based on one development squad game. Considering it is mid October and he hasn't got a club I'd say it's a poor attitude of his to have.
 

Sylvain Ebanks-Blake

How long is Smith out for as his experience would be a good replacement when Grey runs out if puff !!!

Totally agree with this

Real shame about SEB. Great goal in the dev game, a proven pedigree, I can only imagine he wanted a decision before management were willing to give one.

If the coaching staff don't think hes up to it, or he thought he was worth more then we thought he was worth, then thats fine by me.

Hes gone, move on.

Next.
