We've Hulme's money and a government grant above what we'd likely go through the gates.
There's 67 clubs in Conference plus 72 Football League clubs. One player from any of those would be happy to take a wedge of cash to play in a footballing XI who will provide them bountiful chances.
Many clubs are struggling for cash and would welcome the income associated with a transfer.
Watching Peers (and Fisaylo) for the most part is painful - nearly as painful watching Hancock.
-
Or bring one in on loan
-
There are not many teams want to let a top and proven goal scorer go and we cannot go and bung in a player on an inflated wage because of the long term effect on the rest of the team.
It is easier said than done, and I think a loanee might be the answer.

Done alright for Gloucester and Fylde...

There will be the inevitable accusations of hysteria, but we really will get relegated without a proper striker. We are a good team but that will only take us so far unfortunately. I don't know what the answer is. Certainly I buy the argument that it is difficult to bring one in at this time but as a matter of some urgency, we desperately need to try.

How much do you think it would cost for Curzon to part with Knowles? He's the only person I can think of right now but I doubt it's feasible.

I don't get the Gloucester reference, but we don't have the money/wage structure to start paying Fylde type wages.

Sounds like a game we should have won if we took our chances....hence the obvious posts after the match
-
Last four league's games we've played well. I've enjoyed our style of play. But it'd be a lot more enjoyable knowing one or two goals will go in at the end of it.

Gloucester bought Chester's top scorer. Fylde took our main striker. Keep up.
We're getting 2300 through the gate in cash from the government. We've got Hulmes cash.

We were arguably the better side for most of today's game - until we had to score. Quite frankly we wouldn't have scored if their goalkeeper had gone home. It has to be addressed, or we'll be fighting relegation.

Obviously knew the Fylde reference, but thank you for the Gloucs one.
It is not just a case of a transfer fee - I agree we have a certain amount of money for that - but the issue arises with someone coming into the changing room on a higher wage, and this would have been a problem with Hulme had we offered him the money he was to get at Fylde
Laurence Looney explained this to us a couple of weeks ago; if you suddenly have a player bought in panic on twice the wage of anyone else in the squad you immediately have problems.
AND...what club wants to let a proven goalscorer go?
We will need either a loanee from a higher club or an enthusiastic , but unproven, young prospect from a smaller club.
-
The striker situation needs dosh throwing at it. I don't often say splash the cash but it is now critical. We have not got a goal scorer at the club.
The new striker isn't good enough from what I have seen and his shocking record would suggest that and Peers can't keep hold of the ball and his positional play is very poor.

Buying someone doesn't mean we have to break the wage structure. Someone proven at our level sat on someone's bench or someone one level below who we pay a fee for but keep top end of the wage budget.

If you went into an Evo-Stik League season with Adarabioyo and Peers as your principal attacking options, then you would be somewhat concerned.

Not saying it is easy but should now be priority. I think PP and Neil will now make it priority but it should have been priority after we sold Hulme.

If you went into an Evo-Stik League season with Adarabioyo and Peers as your principal attacking options, then you would be somewhat concerned.
What do you mean "somewhat" ? At the current rate, we'll score 29 goals this season, definite relegation form. Is it worth bringing Lewis Salmon back from his loan at Stalybridge ? If he isn't good enough to improve what we're seeing, we might as well let him go. There must surely be proven goalscorers not playing at Step 3 because of Covid. Take a chance on someone who's regularly scoring goals at that level. They surely must be better than our present powder puff attack. Then again, we might do better if we actually shot at goal more often !

I suspect finding a quality conference standard striker who’s going to bang in 15+ goals a year after the season has started is probably a lot harder than just chucking money at someone and hoping it works. Parkinson and Sorvs will be no doubt scouring squads for someone that can come in and make a difference in that department but I’m guessing it will take time to find the right player.
As for today, seeing us lose a game isn’t cause for any sort of dissection to find “where we went wrong”. The fact of it is we will probably lose more games than we win this season. We’ve made a fantastic start to the campaign especially with the amount of away games we’ve had and every defeat we encounter in this division is not cause for concern or a call to upheave the squad.
Having said that I do recognise that we definitely need that poacher to put the finishing touches to our attacks. It’s the missing link to our play but I’m also encouraged that we’re picking up draws and even wins on the road without a recognised striker. It’s certainly not relegation form anyway. Trust in parky to find the player we need. I’m sure he will but as the most sort after position in football it’ll take some time.

Phil,
I was aiming for measured understatement...!

How did we get Dickie Landon that time? As I remember he was an old pro but who could unerringly find the net ("Landon 89", as we used to say). Doesn't have to be someone in his prime, just someone who knows where the goal is, hanging about in the right areas, and letting the likes of Hampson do the hard graft.
-

Knowles is a good shout.

Kieran Brown,20, currently playing for Hanley Town in North West Counties seems to know where the goal is, scored 11 in 12 inc. hat-trick v Nantwich.

We do need a quality & proven striker, but this is easier said than done... we have played well in most of our games this season (despite so many away, plus several injuries not helping) but the fact remains we need someone decent to finish off these chances we create or we'll continue not getting our just rewards...
However, replacing Hulme our main 20goal per season striker sold on the eve of the season start is far from easy... his loss has also effected our other main scorer Hancock as their link up is also gone... we are getting lots of crosses in & having runs at defence from Kosylo, Ceesay, Mooney etc, plus full backs, but no-one is finishing off these moves...
It will be hard to find a quality striker now the season has started as all the decent strikers would have been secured under contract from the start of the new season...
I'm sure PP knows we need a top striker or some hungry young loanee forward and is working hard at finding someone...
It wont be easy, as the season is underway, but keep the faith in Parky & the Management Team... we all want the same thing ie Alty to survive as a club and be successful... lets hope they find us our new goalscoring talisman in the near future...
In the meantime lets hope the run of 5 home games out of the next 6 games bring us some more goals, points, wins and we start climbing the table!

Inter, I agree entirely with you here. Yesterday the loss of Fas so early on really scuppered us as we had started well.

Very good post.

Even looking at the lower leagues, if you get a 30 goal a season striker who fancies his chances at a higher league placement; you could possibly get him in on loan. It is up to Phil and Neil to suss out who that may be, but he has also got to suit the club ethos and fit in with the team. We have to be patient with this and let Phil do his job unhurried and with thought for what and whom we require.
There is someone out there for us, we just have to find him.

how about the young lad in the Youth team,or is he to young for the 1st team?

how about the young lad in the Youth team,or is he to young for the 1st team?
If you're good enough, you're old enough, but do you really think a youth team player with no senior experience is going to step up to the 1st team and replace Hulme?
I know, I know, Duncan Watmore existed. But this is a real stretch.

Watmore never played in the Conference did he?
Blooding a prominent youth or reserve player in conference can be a baptism of fire.
Heathcote did a job at CB at Conference though, despite never going on to much beyond us.
-
I'm not against bringing youth players through, I just thought it was a bizarre suggestion in the context of talking first team strikers.
-
Im sure we are trying to get the right striker in, just might take a while
-
I love how Phil wants to play but I think we need a bit more size up front and to have another option if the need arises
Don't have any names to suggest sadly but maybe PP needs to consider this other option?

Steady on ATS. We’re struggling to find a Plan A up front at the moment, never mind worrying about the lack of a Plan B just yet...

If we don't sort out Plan A pretty damn quick, we could be considering Plan C by Christmas.

Firstly, if only it was as easy as this!
And secondly, you can probably rule out anyone that can't outscore Josh Amis.
-
Buxton's striker may be do-able, they are club fairly close by also, and he has a good record so far this season.
Would he relish the challenge?

Probably couldn't match his salary
-
Would imagine Diego De Girolamo is contracted, but maybe worth a punt. I am surprised he has dropped this low from his early days as an Italian international and promise at Sheffield United.
His brother Nico was at Matlock, but is now plying his trade back in Sunday League. Their father was one of the best local footballers around town who never played professionally. Think he is still banging them in for the Post Office vets at 55.

I'm sure that he would, Steve, if Buxton would allow him to leave & Phil & Neil think that he could do a job.
I saw him play 3 weeks ago & he's good, however probably not what we are looking for at present as he's a wide player rather than a striker. Also, whilst he has scored 8 times, 5 have been penalties, including the 2 I saw him convert against Mickleover FC.
Buxton's wage bill may be higher than ours as well, therefore whilst a step-up football wise, it may not be financially.

Wealdstone 2nd in the league tonight.
Shows the difference between replacing quality players and settling for Evo Stik pals.
-
If Wealdstone are second it's either a poor league or they didn't turn up on Saturday. They created very little.

It's a poor league. The bad news is we're 21st. The good news is a win tomorrow would lift us to 11th (a draw would put us 16th). We've played 3 of the current top 7 away from home already, and I haven't seen anything to convince me that we're any worse than those teams. We just need a decent striker on board to be genuine playoff contenders.
-
I blame G Rowley. Whenever we're not top of the league I blame G Rowley.
I'm not gonna go the match anymore...
-
I'd argue that we gave Wealdstone a very tough game on Saturday. They have been scoring a lot of goals up to then and we restricted them to one. With a fit Dan Mooney on the pitch that game was there for the taking.

I'd agree, if we'd been a bit more clinical and not had early injuries could have been a different result.
-
They were average and will finish nowhere near their current league position.
When things are going for you, they really do - they won't quite believe they came away from Saturday with 3 points, but they did.
I do believe credit is due that any of our previous NL sides wouldn't have been competitive at all with the current injury list we have.

It's a poor league. The bad news is we're 21st. The good news is a win tomorrow would lift us to 11th (a draw would put us 16th). We've played 3 of the current top 7 away from home already, and I haven't seen anything to convince me that we're any worse than those teams. We just need a decent striker on board to be genuine playoff contenders.
I'm not sure that we've seen enough yet to know whether its a poor league or not. What can be said with some degree of certainty, is that things are not normal this season and this appears to be a factor in some of the results that have played out (see Premiership league table which tells its own story).
I think that for the most part we've played reasonably well, however, the injuries we've sustained are a significant factor in explaining where we reside in the league currently.

I'd argue that we gave Wealdstone a very tough game on Saturday. They have been scoring a lot of goals up to then and we restricted them to one. With a fit Dan Mooney on the pitch that game was there for the taking.
Yes

How about this chap?

League positions are very volatile at this early stage of the season. If we’d have scored the penalty at Hartlepool we’d be sat in 11th place now. May be a somewhat false position you could argue, but it’d be a fact. 😄

I can't imagine why he's not been snapped up!

I still think this is a priority. I know we have a couple of options, but if we are to push on we need to replace JH with a player of equal calibre.

Not a patch on Andy Gorton and i reckon Andy Green is way more unstable.
