I've put all the more interesting old threads in here so they can still be seen following the board overhaul in October 2008. It'll be read only.

All it takes is for AMS to be out for a few weeks and we are struggling IMO.
Yeh you're right. just cant imagine what calibre of CF we'll get in knowing they're 2nd or 3rd choice in a team that plays one up front.

Maybe RP will take a gamble on his fitness and have 3 o 4 on a loan shortlist.

Tricky one.

Maybe the answer is another goal scoring forward who can play slightly wider, in the Ceesay/Hemmings/OSJ mold?

I wonder if Ceesay could actually play up top if needed (did he say something like that in his interview, or am I making that up), then a Tolley or Brown could switch in to a wider berth perhaps?

With AMS now 33 and the 46 game season + cups, count me in for another striker.

Still holding out for a monster target man to just lump it up or cross it to, if you're struggling. Three shouldn't be an issue with decent rotation.

Injury prone over the last few seasons I think.

Looks like Cameron is going then. Joe at wingback/fullback. Penny to centre half.

Great news about Joe.

Also, I noticed in the picture above of Tom Denton's arse, the oppo player to his right seems to be sporting a kit very similar to the one worn by our lot in pre season. I wonder if that is the look of the new kit we will be unveiling shortly....

Mixed reaction for me. Think Penny is a better RB than CB and personally a better RB than Foulkes. Fingers crossed Foulkes improves defensively and Penny continues where he left off...
Now for some real quality up front...then looks a pretty good summer's business
