Ash Taylor is still playing …

So is Chris Hussey at Hednesford

I’ve heard that he’s engineered a move to Market Brazen…

In the Trivela years, I don’t think we have had too may cast-offs from League 2. You are right on the loanees, but they, overall, they have done well.

The specofoc problem this season was that we lost the top goalscorer in the division in January and it is essentially impossible for a club like us to sign good strikers in January, not least because they are all under contract and because good strikers are at a premium.

Unlike some, I think Levi is a real prospect. I don’t like Harrison much, although he was greeted as a good signing by many on UTS when he came in. For me, Levi was a good signing but Harrison was not.

Other good signings have been Weir, Barrett, Jellis, Williams

I totally agree re Levi Amantchi. He could come really good I reckon

Disagree….couldn’t trap a bag of cement and can’t head the ball

As a 24 year old, he needs to get a wriggle on if he’s a ā€˜prospect’. He needs to prove he can do the basics.

Really like Cornelius: would be a better bet than Earing, in terms of fitness.

I’d take Josh March all day as well. I’d like to think he’d be better value than DJ and both of these Harrogate players are realistic targets.

We’ve had too many passengers for too long now, in terms of injuries. We need more battle hardened additions to boost the squad.

And even more concerning, he has no idea about off the ball movement.

He has looked ok if he has the ball a bit deeper and is able to run at players but how often is that in our set up?

I hope I am wrong, but I don’t see him making it.

I’d imagine he has been a ā€œprospectā€ at his 9 other clubs before us at the age of 24 as well. Often quoted we don’t have a big budget, amazes me when we waste it on players like Amantchi.

Amanchi was a stupid cheap signing and not what we needed he is crap his touch is absolutely awful for a start can see why Bromley let him go a team miles behind us at the time as well. We cannot go into league one with players like this if we do manage to go up.

According to Ben Sadler, he was a ā€˜long term target’ :flushed_face:

Josh March out of contract at Harrogate. Wants to move back to the Midlands with his young family. From a very reliable source. Id have him just as a real pain player that gets at opposition defenders. DD couldn’t handle him when he played for Stevenage.

Could do a lot worse imo.

If Levi was 19/20 I’d get it but he’s meant to be heading into the peak of his career about now. I do like the lad though and he’s quite good with h the ball at his feet. However he cannot play as a target man or loan striker to save his life.

Might do well if we end up in L2 for the foreseeable future but will sink in L1.

Is there anything you like or have ever liked about this club?

I think there’s something about him . He’s a trier and with a smaller older head proven strike partner to mentor him could come good. Now, where do you get a smaller, proven goal scorer at this level?
