looks like Rusk had already written off Walker Bonkers to have signed him again a month or so ago for the second time in his 9 months at the club, if that's the case. Think that word pretty much sums up our summer recruitment. If Wilson/Rusk could go back in time then Walker, Newby, Fish and Barclay aren’t here.

Reid's been awful in most of the last twenty plus games he's played in Can't understand why it's taking so long for the club to find one or two more strikers Mark Stott said championship in seven seasons .well no chance when we're signing players like Collar Reid Newby and Walker .and Barclay's looking like Jordan Fagbola We've got more than enough strikers, and the first four players you reference are in my view all good enough for this level, Ive seen enough of them on their day to suggest for the next one up as well. Barclay I haven't seen enough of yet to form a view.. but suspect the system the defence has been set up in may not be helping him, same as it hasn't helped any of them. Accepting for those others we've too rarely seen their best of late... but writing them off en masse seems harsh (and also would be costly and disruptive, Vs the alternative of working with them/ improving them and their contribution to the team). We've got 3 strikers? One is injured, one is seriously out of form.

Don’t disagree about Walker and Newby. He’ll want to play regularly and United will want him to as well and it’s just not going to happen - he’s sixth choice CB when everyone is fit here - he’s probably about 8th choice at United for god sake. I’m not writing him off, he’s obviously very highly rated and I’m sure he’d do well at this level in a back four that he’s used to playing in alongside the right partner but he’s surplus. We didn’t really need one right footed CB in Barclay but to add Fish as well was beyond stupid and I should imagine any chance of loanees in the future from Old Trafford had now gone.

Accepting for those others we've too rarely seen their best of late... but writing them off en masse seems harsh (and also would be costly and disruptive, Vs the alternative of working with them/ improving them and their contribution to the team). We’re quite obviously short of a striker and you’re not a very good judge of a player if you think any of those above are good enough for the level above. From Saturday’s complete exclusion and today’s signing looks like Rusk had already written off Walker and Newby himself. Reid is only playing because we only have two fit strikers and Collar and Barclay wouldn’t be making squads if they were inherited Gannon players rather than ex Brighton ones. You may be right and I may be wrong WNM- be boring enough if we all agreed on everything... just my personal view though. Maybe it's more that I'd just love to see this team grow and improve organically ahead of us splurging the cash on any area of perceived weakness.. especially if eg Barclay that perceived weakness is one we've just splurged some cash on quite recently- that outlook could completely be colouring my view!

Far too early to be writing off Fish. Don’t disagree about Walker and Newby. Fish was not great on his debut game for us. Better though than one other who seems a permanent fixture in the side. He is only a young lad and they all have in and out games due to inexperiance. Same with the villa lad. Can understand the newby signing but not the walker one after being bang average last season. Type of signing we,d have made when we were really despirate for a player with no money.

Just watched the close up of Rydel’s goal and for once Reid miscuing his kick led to it falling for Rydel to score. Reid's been awful in most of the last twenty plus games he's played in Can't understand why it's taking so long for the club to find one or two more strikers Mark Stott said championship in seven seasons .well no chance when we're signing players like Collar Reid Newby and Walker .and Barclay's looking like Jordan Fagbola Reid has always needed three or four chances to score once. It wasn't a problem last season but with our lack of chances it really shows. Plus, imagine the uproar if we'd released him on a free after scoring 20 last season. He's shown he's more than good enough if he's used correctly.

If he had put the majority of his chances away reid would not be playing non league football now. Thats the reason why stretton is in a championship squad and not with us.

It’s not simply because he has access to Championship Grade training facilities, then? Asking for a friend…

You're comparing apples with oranges.
