Yeah I forgot McNulty can play in the hole and I was counting G Thomas as a new signing.
I just get a feeling those hoping Robins will bring in a big lump up front are going to be disappointed.
Do you think? With current players and if G Thomas stays and Reid I think we've enough it's a man to lead the line we're short on in my eyes not players to play behind him.
Beavon has made a career playing a lone man but I'd prefer a 6'2+ man in that role.
Plus if he does opt to leave we desperately need a figure head at the top. Kwame Thomas can play the central role but I'm not so sure he's got the experience to play the ball winning target man. I see him as more of a ball carrying player with pace than a lump up top.
Options so far are if we play 4231.
--G Thomas----McNulty----K Thomas--
----------------Beavon----------------
--G Thomas----McNulty-----K Reid--
----------------Beavon----------------
--J Jones-----McNulty-----K Thomas--
----------------Beavon----------------
The only names guaranteed so far is JJ, Kwame Thomas, McNulty, and possibly Beavon and Reid.
George is still weighing up his options.
A big target mans a must for me.

Not getting at you Steve, but I thought K Thomas looked completely lost and out of his depth on the wing and very much like a square peg in a round hole. I would be v concerned of we went into the season with him on the left wing. He looked a threat up front, so I expect him to be a strike option from the bench rather than a regular starter. I didn't see any ball carrying abilities ala Murphy, if I'm being honest.Yeah I agree he's far better utilised in a more central role but reports are McNulty plays better in behind in a 10 role and I think he said in his interview he likes to arrive late in the box so likely preference will be for McNulty in that role.
Kwame has skill and pace with some physicality and seems to be able to carry the ball which was something we was struggling in last year with Reid, the year before we had Murphy.
This side is the same currently unless one comes in or Reid is rejuvenated.

On a side, I thought Jones looked far better when played on the left. I would expect him to be regular starter on the left wing next season.

I think that Kwame (when he came back into the side after his injury) had the shit kicked out of him by the opposition and all credit to him, he got back up and didn't look intimidated at all.
I reckon that this pre season he needs to do some work with the weights to bulk out a bit and he could be a contender?

Jabo Iberhe has just turned down a contract for Carlisle. Would be a great signing if possible

Not a chance. Will mostly be relying on out of contract playersLove to see us spend a little and get Akinde from Barnet. Big, strong and mobile. Would create plenty of space for a second forward and could play as a lone striker in Robin's favoured 4-2-3-1
If we could get a powerhouse up front for me akinde would be my first choice, wonder how much he would cost?

I wouldn't actually, if we had money to spend I'd buy James Collins.
Yes john akinde scored plenty of goals the last few seasons but a large chunk were penalties and his style of play is very lazy and cumbersome.
With James Collins your getting a more robust target man who still get goals and from set pieces so I'd say would give better value for money.
All a matter of opinion tho

I would take either of them!Must admit I do like Collins as well, and because a local would suit and maybe have more fire in his belly
Both of them plsI would take either of them!
The big lad who played up front for Cambridge tore us apart in the cup. Can't remember his name or be arsed to look it up but he was a beast. No one has mentioned Akinfenwa yet either.
Number seven signing today.
The ever reliable Danny White :emoji_grin:

Not from him! Been told it's defender apparently.Doesn't he just throw shit out every day?
Won't get as excited if it's from him then. Bloke has issues.
