Fondop signing quite bizarre as he needed an experienced head with him in a front 2.
A front 2 needs the width from 2 attacking FBs and 2 hard working LM and RM.
Alternatively recruit for a 433 which needs better FBs and also a passing midfield that are comfortable on the ball. Front 3 need to rotate positions more which was something Grant, Beavon and Ruthers were poor at between them. Tollitt did provide some pace at 1 point.

Buying Rowe, Cook or anyone at this level is pointless without other players who can play with them. Thats why we struggled for goals, we had too much of the same. Its about balance.
Absolutely. It doesn't matter who we buy right now as they would be on a hiding to nothing with our tactics, if we persist with them. Hopefully BH settles on a new way of playing which makes us more expansive and brings in players who can play that way. Currently, as you say, there is no balance in the team. An Oswell or even a Fondop might be OK with the right players alongside them, playing the right way.
