It's glaringly obvious that we need to enhance our attacking options if we are ever to register a victory.
We read last week that GH had tried to recruit an unnamed striker on loan but that the proposed deal had fallen through due to financial restraints.
Seriously, is there not any way that the Board could help GH by releasing some funds to help him to bring in a much-needed forward?
Yes, I know the limited budget mantra off by heart but if we take no action, relegation will surely ensue.
The impression I get when talking to various Alty fans is that there is a perception (which may be incorrect) that the Board aren't really that concerned about whether we are relegated.
We do posses a good looking quality striker at the moment - he's on international duty. Hopefully with berkely back in the next couple of weeks will offer a more positive attacking option. Looking at the results, we have not scored in
ONE match (Grays). Thats better than this time last season. attackingly (?) weve not really seen the best of either potts or logan (theyve not played 90 mins yet). Im sure with a bit of tinkering this squad is perfectly capable of securing another season in this league. Whether GH is capable of playing the guys in their best position at the right time is another discussion.
As for money, it is my understanding that most of the sultana money has been spent on the new lovely floodlights, and it seems that the wage budget has been increased (surely lane, tinson, clancy, logan, berkely, whalley, sedgemore, senior are on more money than those players who have left?). However if we do get a new forward (another rabbit out of the hat perhaps?) then who would be dropped/ released? The squad IS better than last season. Jim Smith said so, so it must be true!!!
