He signed for Brackley Town yesterday. Do you think we need another replacement?

He signed for Brackley Town yesterday. Do you think we need another replacement? 150% Folivi seems to be regularly injured, Ghandour is a 28 day loan which even if extended, the Shots can recall him at any time (see Willard) and Connor Cullen is clearly deemed a squad player. Will we get one? I wouldn’t bet on it, but if we are to be treated to another striker I’d imagine it would be announced ahead of tomorrow’s match.

And there it is, a 19 year old without a senior goal to his name. Hopefully he’ll be decent but it seems a downgrade on Connor Hall.
And here was me hoping for Hish on loan 😂
We should have kept Dan Gifford.

Yeah, liked the look of Gifford....
But never too impressed with Hall to be honest - yes, a decent physical presence up top but none too mobile and hardly a goal machine
Did a job, moves on with best wishes
Hope Folivi's fit for tomorrow - assuming we're not rained off - and hope this new young lad's a prospect, even so we'll need someone else up front in the coming weeks....

I have no issue with signing players being signed. In fact the fact that we don't have an U23/reserves team to call up.if necessary annoys me. Short-term thinking.

Unfortunately hall didn’t cut it for me he seemed slow and didn’t really cut defences open, also looked to me like he was struggling to cut the weight off.
I would have liked Hish back but think he has a big injury as has been out of the Sutton picture for months and reading their forum he’s on the treatment table.
19 year old with no senior goal is one of those could go either way moves either it’s a stroke of genius or it doesn’t work and costs us.
Think we need another striker with expertise to help us stay up the top end personally I’d love to see Moses Emmanuel try out at this level again. He was decent at Hayes always gave us issues and I feel could easily have stepped up.

He was decent at Hayes always gave us issues and I feel could easily have stepped up. Hall was clearly here to get fit, but no he didn’t set the World alight. His previous record suggests there might have been more to come though. I’ve seen some videos of the new kid Jonas on Tik Tok, he looks full of promise and a good finisher. On the flip side I’ve seen some disparaging comments from Walsall fans. Likely seen as a cost effective punt that could go either way. Moses Emmanuel I think would be the opposite, an expensive gamble! Not to say I wouldn’t take him. To be honest I don’t care who it is as long as they score some goals!

I think it's fair to say that Bob and I will miss cheering on "Albert". Hope the new kid has something about him...

Connor Hall scored a hattrick today. All I can say is we clearly didn't play to his strengths but then that has been our problem for years

All I can say is we clearly didn't play to his strengths but then that has been our problem for years Let’s be honest, the same can be said for Folivi, Cullen, Gifford, Ghandour, even the new lad. They are all footballers who want the ball to feet. The only person whose strengths we have played to in the last two seasons is Alfie Pavey. If we’d just get the ball down and play I’m sure our forwards would do a lot better.
