I don't expect this to happen, but if it was up to me:

Out: Hart (perm); Shorrock (loan); Lomax (loan); Paton (loan/perm); May divide opinion but I'd move Curtis on too - he's a winger out of position up front and never looks like scoring.

In: Two strikers, replacements for Paton/Curtis - one youngish on a perm with a semi decent record (ie Michael Mellon), then another perm as 'proven' as we could realistically get (ie Cole).

We're creating chances, the team setup is good, we just need better forwards.

I agree with Curtis.

I think you just need to play to a strikers strengths. Pope’s numbers looked very similar and crap until we had proper wingers putting it on a plate for him. 

This is the key. Styles make strikers.

Countless players are the same. Then revert back to not scoring after 1 good season. Helps being in a good side like Orient last season 

Cole Stockton and Dom Telford from recent memory - and loads of us wanted Cole Stockton (well, me at least) 😁👍

He’s 20 years older old. You expect him to be a 15-20 goal a season player over the last 2 seasons?

It was tongue in cheek BJ, based on the average patience of some of our loudest social media fans

My mate just wattsapped me - he thinks he saw Willo driving down Chell bank earlier - unconfirmed (but wishful thinking) 👅

Im not taking the Pee - he was just excited at thinking he was seeing him - but knowing Bunny Boy, and bearing in mind he was knackered climbing uphill on his god forsaken MTB,  it could have been Michelle Wilson from the Oatcake shop 🙈🙈🙈

She could do a job up front 😉

If we do get someone in and they don’t score 3 on Saturday- it will be a huge disappointment ⚽️⚽️⚽️😀

Morning Mellor - from what I've been told, Brown looks like he'll be a loan-to-signing player and that Derby are happy for him to move to another club. I like the idea of that - we get to get a good look at him and make sure we're not chucking money down the hole. 

If that is true then lets hope the fee has already been agreed if we do choose to sign him,just incase he is on fire and scores 12-15 by January

According to Unofficial Vale Morecambe are signing Hart.

That would make a lot of sense.
