It think we need a pacey tall experience centre back,a right back,a ball playing midfielder,and a target man
Welch counts as the first and last there then, kerney as ball playing midfielder, still think its a shame mcneill didnt come here
Yes I agree. He's getting on, he's injury-prone, but the fact is he's a very useful targetman in this division when fit. He's certainly been a big help to Southport in their very respectable start.
Whilst I like Welchy and think he should do well now that he's slimmed-down and got himself playing again (bar recent knock), I agree with all Hughesy's other comments. The very best situation we can hope for with Tom Kearney is that he opts to stay/we have the money to keep him, that he gets back playing in the New Year and that he's back up to his previous high standards by the run-in. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
I'd hope we might pick up a better full-back than Joseph somewhere, even if it meant a loan signing (not sure how highly-rated the lad from Bury is - he can slot in there can't he?). I doubt any targetmen of a higher standard than McCarthy will become available to be honest.
