Having not had a serviceable striker for 1.5 seasons, and sending our two bad ones out on loan, we have now signed two more midfielders. Raising the prospect of playing 4-6-0 until relegation to the NLN. One is from Bradford Park Avenue, so immediately underwhelmed by that.
The other is Eliot...
I remember that season, we played Matlock in the FA cup that year. I don't much like confidence players, they spend 86% of their careers playing with none, it seems.
Ugh, now something like 1 win in 15. Actually quite hard to see from where the next win is coming.
In our last spell at this level, we managed to get ourselves relegated from a vey similar position to that which we hold currently, in the "difficult second season" of 2015/2016.
The difference...
Digie is NLN standard at best, and tbf he is very much a second string in that position.
I don't see us turning any tables next week, in fact I don't think we ever will beat you.
We have 2 bad strikers, both of whom sent on loan this week, hence the rather outre set up.
I didn't go today as I have PTSD from my four previous visits to Edgeley Park, but it sounds as bad as anything we've served up in a while. Parkinson's halo is starting to slip for the first time in 4.5...
Both of our No 9s have been sent out on loan into the NLN this week. We have no strikers at all now, as opposed to having no strikers worthy of the description.
2 of Alty's strikers loaned out to NLN clubs this week I see - Tom Peers to Curzon and Marcus Dinanga to Kidderminster. The fact that both our No 9s have been sent away without a replacement speaks volumes.
I'd sooner never see either of them again.
Peers was just about serviceable in NLN, but...
