The Business
I want to go on record and say I love Tilly and would never want him to go.
But the complete inability to sign anyone is now becoming a real bug bear for me personally.
Even the crapper clubs below us are getting decent people and we seem to be chasing Ronaldo and Kaka who clearly arent going to come to the club.
I do understand that its not easy and we have had some bad luck (Elliot not wanting to move south and Walkers health) but the buck stop with Tilly and we have now had 23 days in January when we have clearly needed a striker (Amongst other positions) but have signed no-one bar a non league player for the future.
Its not like we haven't needed a striker for over a year anyway. On top of this were shipping goals at a worrying rate and I really feel its time we stopped making excuses and got someone. Easy to say I know.
However if you looking for realisitc signings then the following players have all moved of late and to clubs not bigger than us. Other managers dont seem to find it so hard....
DEF:
ROB PAGE - HUDDERSFIELD
MATT MILLS - DONCASTER
MID:
ANTHONY MCNAMEE - YEOVIL
GARY SMITH - CARLISLE
AHMET BRKOVIC - MILLWALL
ATT:
MOSES ASHIKODI - SWINDON
FABIAN BRAND - SWANSEA
ANDY KIRK - YEOVIL
TOBY MIKALESLSON - PORT VALE
STEVE BROOKER - CHELTENHAM
LEE HOLMES - WALSALL
SCOTT SPENCER - YEOVIL.
Any of the above could have done a good job for us and all have moved to clubs of similar stature to us (Bar maybe Brandy).
I am in full support of Tilly but its time to stop making excuses and get someone in my book before this season falls into obscurity.
