It saying it will be these exact players but could see us going for a Juketwicz, Chris Martin, Jordan Hugill mould of player I really hope not, that’s exactly the type of player we need to avoid signing. We’ve got enough old, slow strikers who were last effective over 7 years ago I think he’ll want someone dominant in the air, go to trust him there’s not a more experienced or better manager in the champ in my opinion (this may be total bollocks by the way about the type of player just my opinion !) |

Can't see the sense in that one, myself. If we're going to develop a kid then we have Harratt, Hudlin, Phillips & Simpson still on the books. Fair enough if he'd just smashed it in Lg2 but 1 goal every 7 games at that level doesn't strike me as somebody ready to be the main striker at a 2nd tier club. Hudlin won’t make it to L2, and that’s based on seeing him three or four times. I watched Hudlin play for Solihull Moors in the Play-Offs and laughed at him. Total joke of a player. And he scored too. I was absolutely staggered when we bought him. In my very humble opinion, he'll never make a footballer as long as he has a hole in his ar$e. But I really hope that, eventually, I'll be proved wrong... |

Last year we were desperate for goals and three managers didn't see anything in him to warrant a start. And, let's not forget, League 2 AFC Wimbledon returned him to sender. |

I think Koroma, Thomas and Hungbo would be a great 3 to have next season. Supplement them with a quality CM snd a quality striker and not much else needs changing. I have high hopes for Headley, I think he could be some player. |

I hope we get a move on and bring in a few decent players (hopefully much better than this). Have held off renewing my ST for now and won't be doing so if we don't see some positive signings before 30th. Not falling for the rubbish we endured last summer. The squad is a long way off good enough to go toe to toe with the best teams in the division. Hoping Warnock can be given the players to be on the front foot against anyone.

Not a dig, but how can our signings be indicative of renewing your ST? Have you seen some of the shit we've signed in the past? Did you buy a ST when we got Alex Dyer, Mark Jackson, Scott Bevan, to name just three utterly shit players in my time watching Town. Like I say, not a dig, I just don't understand it? |

Additionally we won’t have a budget to go toe to toe with everyone Yes I’d expect us to put up more of a fight than for instance we did at Burnley away but quite simply we will have to be smart For me the league starts around 8th place this season. Anything higher would be a major bonus and a massive surprise. I also expect most of our business will be done closer to the start of the season and probably all the way to deadline day while we wait on other clubs decisions to take place. |

I think that we all have our own reasons for what we do, most of them will be inexplicable to others. I was in the minority when we brought back Rhodes and Ward and was in two minds to turn up for games that season. If Ward is our best striker this time arround I will not be giving Kevin any of my money this year! |

I don’t understand it either if your a fan you support the club thru thick and thin , so we get some signings you think are gonna be good ie Pritchard so you buy a season tkt and then they play dog shit or not at all ! Then we might sign some who are non descript or never heard of so you don’t buy a season ticket and they might be amazing like what Wagner brought in Schindler etc ! 🤦🏽♀️ |

The reason I posted what I did was. I was at the gym (won't say which one) and I'd seen the lad being put through his paces. Then having his picture taken. So I went onto the Gyms insta page and it came up with who it was. Sounds like a b team signing then? |

Not sure what you mean by "positive", but any signings made before the 30th are likely to be free agents that don't have many other options. Anyone we have to pay a fee for, or a free agent that's actually really good will probably come later in the window as player and club hold out for the best deal they can. |

I could see Tyreece making an impact this season, encouraging signs last season, reminded me of Sorbas performances the season before he broke through. Seems very direct, confident, strong and skillful. If they can sort out his fitness could be an asset although I've no idea how he's been doing in the B team

If they can sort out his fitness could be an asset although I've no idea how he's been doing in the B team Agree he looks to be direct and strong, particularly when running with the ball. On the few occasions I saw him, he looked useless with his back to goal as his first touch was that of an elephant and he looked poor in the air. But I haven't seen him much. |

Chalk and cheese. Entirely subjective! Yes totally different players obviously but both came from lower league, look confident, strong, hungry and not phased by moving up a couple of levels. Hopefully it's a good sign, it was with Thomas. |

So it appears that we are looking for a striker! It's quite interesting looking back at our most prolific ones over the last 50 years.
... Ian Robins, Duncan Shearer, Craig Maskell, Iwan Roberts, Marcus Stewart and Jordan Rhodes... the general trend seems to be that with a 25-goal-a-season striker, you are likely to be there or there about the play offs, if not in the automatic positions. However, Craig Maskell's 33 goals in 88/89 unbelievably still meant that they languished near the bottom of the third tier in that season and despite Duncan Shearer's 16 goals, Town were well adrift at the bottom and relegated in 87/88. The season before Town had only escaped relegation by 3 points even with Shearer's 25 goals.
Therefore, even though the great goalscorers are remembered, some seem to be forgotten because they might be associated with a poor season and more importantly, a 25 goals a season striker doesn't necessarily mean that a team will gain promotion.

It is a team game, so we need more than just a striker. On the other hand we have seen for a number of years now what it is like to play without a proper striker, or one that either we don't play for, or match our style of play. It would certainly be much better if we do find one. |

There you go... it only seems to be when the leading striker gets a hat-full of goals in a season... AND that team gets promoted (in Stewart's case - should have done before it all fell apart) that they seem to be remembered fondly. |

No preference from me how we do this.
Some sides platform their striker and that one player scores a hatful (but not many goals from elsewhere in the side), others will have goals from all over the pitch (but no single individual player gets many).
I expect thought that we'll go somewhere in between those options. I expect JK, Rudi and Headley to get a lot of goals Vs where their position on the pitch would suggest, but then we have others (e.g. Sorba, Kasumu, Hogg) who are unlikely to get double figures between them even if we were otherwise a free-scoring side.
I'm expecting a traditional big centre forward. TBH I think that's what would work best with the players we've got, and I get the feeling that NW likes to go down that route anyway.
