Having given a lot of thought to the above subject,my views are as follows.I am totally in favour of trying to progress the club with the policy of using home grown talent-this may or may not work but I am hopeful and personally have confidence in Ashley & Cornelius-time will tell.There are several very talented players within the squad & we are capable of playing excellent attacking football.This however is where we currently have a major problem- we are a fast,quick passing side and require mobility up front.Isiah Jones is a fine player who achieves this but I would urge Ashley not to show misplaced loyalty to Billy Dunn who is obviously unfit. He does not hold up or win the ball in the air & we cannot afford to carry on with this line up- this is Billy as he is now not Billy the exceptional player of several years ago.I feel we have let a minimum of 3 points go so far this season by not scoring goals that our overall performance has deserved.
An obvious alternative up front seems ready made in Razzak Coleman who in 3 brief appearances has shown great ball control,pace & ability to hold up the ball & then lay off quality passes.Finally I would agree with other views in respect of Saturday's game,that Danny Bassett does not look happy as an attacking wing back- he is a good player but not a defender and most problems did come from the Hayes left wing.I always thought Tope was a very decent defender.I am also looking forward to seeing Eddie Dines recapture his fine form of last season.
