January Window

[VALAIRIAN]

Now that it is open, who/what do we want/need to see coming through it for us and the same the other way?!?!?

A player you would love to see come?

Is there anybody you would love to see go out??

Who can we NOT afford to lose????

[Watchdog]

Hopefully Tommy Lee will still be with us after the window closes.

Hope the whole squad is still with us come February and, after today’s display, I hope we secure Walsh for the rest of the season.

Cannot see the last bit, though he won us the game today

[VALAIRIAN]

My biggest fear is that we lose some of the loan players....

Shipley, Hills to name but two have been great and could be called back - Ripley style - and go out to another c£ub.....

Let us see....

I would like to see a striker that Coleman has some faith in. Josh Woods is doing OK, but is not really suited to the lone striker role. Andrews expected back any time soon?
Think we will lose Hills and Walsh, so they need to be replaced somehow.
Woods and Martin is doing really well in midfield, have grown into their roles. Not sure we will be any better in that department when Seamus and Coyle are back.

So my New Year wishes are: a striker, and replacements for those departing.

I totally agree with what you say about Ben Woods and Dan Martin, Greger, and hope we can keep all the loan players. I also agree that Josh Woods is not suited to the “lone striker” role. Neither was Tommy Leigh last season.

But, I don’t believe Josh Woods is playing as a “lone striker”, certainly not the way Lowe, or Andrews try to play it, and I think the team are playing much better as a consequence.

Since the Crewe game I’ve really enjoyed watching Stanley. They are faster, and offer a more varied attacking options. This is, imho, down to the young players like Messrs Woods, Martin, O’Brien, and Henderson.

Not having a “cart horse” striker has required a different approach and one that is not only better to watch but, thus far, more successful
The return on the 5 games since Crewe, with Josh Woods, has been DWLDW with 8 pts from 15. The previous 5 league games produced LWLLD with 4 pts from 15.

Realistically, Stanley cannot “out bid” any other team for a proven striker but, as the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention.

Hope I’m wrong but Hills looked like he was waving goodbye on Monday?

Apparently, he's joined Fleetwood, and gone straight out on loan to Kings Lynn: https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/240315...ngton-striker/

Not much movement expected according to Coley.

Book balancing is the order of the day

Sacking COLMAN AND BELL WOULD BE THE BEST MOVE,
