Yes - they are looking? Yet it's only Barnet among nearby teams on a similar level who end up without a proper strikeforce. For a second consecutive season

Funny isn't it that people complain that we are strikers short and then I see them offering up names of players who are woeful.

DB probably will go to pick his team on Saturday and think oh shit we've only got one recognised forward no one told me that. I should of read the fans forum. I might even pick up some ideas on really crap forwards we can sign .....

1. I would have scored both of them. 2. He should have scored 4 more.

Didn't look National League level in my opinion
I don't know which one Jeffers was but the St Albans strike force was toothless - worse than ours. As I said at the time. They scored twice because we gifted them goals that even they couldn't miss.
Maybe they were having an off day but based solely on the PSF, I wouldn't want us to sign their forward(s).

We have gone in for several strikers. Something will come up soon. Same as Centre Halves.

Maybe we are all looking too low when it comes to our team's managerial ambitions! I can distinctly remember in the past when someone alluded to the fact that we were trying to be the Barcelona of League 2. We obviously failed on that one, but perhaps the idea has been resurrected? Barcelona played without a central striker for some time and we are obviously trying to reproduce that level of excellence in the National League. At least that's what I hope we are trying to do! :unsure:

Yes, we really needed to sign someone who was injured for the vast majority of last season.
Jake Hyde started for Southend today and lasted 12 minutes before being subbed with a suspected hamstring injury.

That's funny. Southend are paying £1100 week of Hyde's wages, Wrexham still paying the rest.

There were rumours from Southend that he was reluctant to join and felt he was being forced there by Wrexham to help the Dalby deal go through so you have to wonder how injured he really is. A bit like Tasdemir last season?

Hyde is a luxury player at this level. Won't reliably get a full season out of him and with a bit of an ego. I was told he threw his first team shirt in a Hive skip when he left Barnet...

Hope rumours of EMC to Portsmouth wrong - that would leave a big hole with no more signings

That suggests that EMC and his agent must be pretty confident he can get a much better deal elsewhere, maybe once there isn't a significant transfer fee involved next summer. It does suggest that EMC might be around us for the rest of this season which I think is a good thing.

I’m pleasantly surprised if this is the case! Keeping him for the season is essential!
