    Or do we still need a nippy striker to complement what we've got?

    I'm really happy with the outgoings and incomings since Danny has come in just hope now the quality we have got comes through on match days and we can put some points on the board!

    There's only one Danny Wilson!!!!!!

    A nippy striker would be nice but I think we might see Jennings used in that role.
    We've got 5 loans now, is that the maximum allowed in a matchday squad? Will Wilson now be looking at a perm signing or will he go above the 5 and have one sat idle on a matchday whilst we pay a large % of the wage!!?

    I hope that's it for loans now. We shouldn't be wasting money to pay someone to come on loan and sit in the stands.

    i think we've got a very good balance. if we can find another quality 'poacher', great. but they're in short supply. i'd be happy going with what we have now. i think we now have a squad who could adapt to pretty much any formation....even the dreaded 4-4-2?!

    for me, the key now is extending mclaughlin and shea to the end of the season. if they disappear at 28 days, we have two glaring holes again. Lots of options, maybe a 4-1-3-2 could feature both strikers...


    McLaughlin......Cranie......Ramage.......Kennedy

    .............................Hassell..............................

    Shea....................Lawrence...............Jennings

    ................Proschwitz...........O'Grady................

    It'll be interesting to see how Proschwitz fits in to Danny's plans. I thought the balance was absolutely spot on against Blackpool with O'Grady up front on his own. It's common for a lone striker to become isolated but I thought Jennings and the American lad supported him well. I'd be loathed to change that system unnecessarily but accept that goal scoring has been an issue all season and an additional forward can't do any harm.

    Personally I think we need to strengthen in midfield. As much as I like Jim O'B I'm not convinced yet that he's a long term solution in the centre of midfield. Dawson similarly is likeable but his lack of quality is going to be an issue, particularly if Mellis (our sole creative threat) is having an off day. Oh and a left back.

    That's my worry as well tomfun need to get them secured till May then I'm more than happy with the team. Leroy lita rumour seems to have gone quiet now so Danny rose might be the nippy striker were going to use if needed.

    Who are the 5 loans ? Lawrence signed a 6 month contract so he's not on loan

    he's had a bit of a mare under flicker - but who hasn't? you never know, the squad changes might just revive him. who would have thought jennings would have come back as strong as he did? he hasn't really had a crack under danny yet.

    Thanks, just got up off nights !! We ought to look at cancelling Pedersons loan, not doing either player or club any good.

    We definitely need to strengthen central midfield as Dawson and Jimbob despite their qualities are probably not the answer. And another striker one that we own would be good given that we only have one senior striker on the books

    Maybe if used correctly he might just be that goal poacher we need, wouldn't be opposed to to danny rose or even RNL getting more game time up top though

    Thought Jim and Dawson played very well together against Blackpool.It would be harsh to drop them, i don't think they would be too chuffed either.I would drop Kennedy and play 352.I think Danny will start with the same starting line up as against Blackpool and bring Proschwitz off the bench for O'Grady late on.
