I just get the feeling we dont continue to look at the best options.
Pools got straight in there for a Heed player yet were looking at unfit loanees.!!!!!

Crazy isnt it
Same with Manny, our best player and he hasnt even had a dip in form. Hes just got unlucky with a bad injury and people on here saying needs to be released at the end of the season.
Utter, utter madness

someone once told me , with a straight face, that the council won't let us go up as the town cannot afford the infrastructure to support the bigger crowds getting promoted would bring.

It wasn't a dip in form he was playing incredibly badly and his delivery was utterly woeful. Since hes been out of the squad we've been playing so much better.

Do we need a left back currently. The form Jenno is in then at this time surely he would be only be used as cover.

I disagree and hope he is back fit very soon. Young and Wright have stepped up recently And Walker has been relatively consistent since he came in but Summerfield has been our best midfielder so far this season and the squad needs him.

Which players played well in January? I remember one of his last games, Summerfield was getting a bit if stick but he was the one in midfield wanting the ball and trying to make things happen so I dont really get this "he goes missing". Yes his form dipped but hey it happens, he was probably due a rest, but at that stage it was difficult to think of him not being a shoe in.

Long may Walker, Wright and Young continue to do well but 10 games at least to go, with Walker on 9 yellows and a probable need to freshen things up in any or to change games, the sooner he is fit the better.

Its obvious from Januarys form there were clearly problems and for me 5 mediocre signings plus the loss of form by Summerfield certainly contributed a lot to this. I means 5 games and not a goal scored

I said it at the time but Grant offers nothing better, Stockton is unfit and doesn't have the work rate, Tollitt was left out, Oswell the same and likewise Kennedy.

The current starting 11 has certainly improved performances even though goals are hard to come by and players from the bench are helping close out games. Tough test Saturday but lets hope for more of the same.

Signing the right players in the right positions is vital.
Bringing in Lawlor has shown this and also that proven NL players from other teams is something we need to be looking at.
I would be getting Barrow from Gateshead now, loan deal with an option to buy at end of season. They need the cash now and we could pay his wages in 1 go.
He would improve our midfield.

I agree with this. Not only are you strengthening yourself, but your weakening you oppontent.

Just think of the knock effect someone signing Rowe from Fylde would have. Whilst thinking of Fylde. I also think Croasdale and Byrne are quality players.
