Deadline Day Signings

[Connor McNeish]

Luca Woodhouse returns and striker George Alexander joins too! 
 

Brilliant additions to the side. Back three of Dandy, Eweka and Woodhouse sounds excellent. 

With George also joining, I’m assuming that maybe Francis is out a little longer than first thought. 

[GlenSTFC]

Yes 2 solid signings, one we know and who performed well and the other glad he’s on our side this time! Now everyone is available with these 2 it gives us a strong squad which we hope should be more than capable of gaining enough points to stay up. I think it’s unlikely we’ll see Amartey until possibly the last few games which is a massive loss and I just hope we can manage to sign him permanently in the summer as I think with the right service he could score 20+ for us.

[GlenSTFC]

The dilemma SD now has is which 16 he picks for Saturday from the available 19 players (excluding Forster, Amartey, Dobson, Hunt). Which 3 players would you not include?

[Guest Wycombe Rebel]

I think I’d go 5-3-2 on Saturday:

Dennis; Jackman Dandy Eweka Woodhouse George; Davies Lench Togwell; Obi Alexander

Subs: Bush, Goddard, Walsh, Owen, Benyon

Not in squad: Hall, Burgess, Kayani

I agree on the starting 11 but would leave out Benyon and replace with Burgess.

[Scott Davies]

Francis isn’t a million miles off but hasn’t been able to sprint as of yet. His game is all about being explosive so want to make sure that he’s ready to go when 100% fit. If we have to wait another week or two then so be it. To have him for 5 games is better than coming back too soon and having him for an hour! 

[Reading Rebel]

Decent signings so welcome back Luca and welcome George Alexander to the Rebels!

[Reading Rebel]

Whilst we've brought two players in it seems that two players have gone the other way.

Louis Walsh has joined Thame United and Moe Shubbar had his contract at Crawley terminated by mutual consent in time for him to join another club before the transfer deadline.

Delighted to have walked into Arbour Park last night and seen the two lads there, both quality and will have a good impact on the run in hopefully.

Also wanted to say well done Scotty, the hard work you and the team have been doing isn't going unnoticed.

Great to see the ground looking a bit tidier as well, the new shop looks great and the pitch is being done today I believe as well, all positives imo.

Not re-laid mate but the annual decompaction and deep clean I believe which costs a few quid, I look after a FIFA Pro pitch at work so good to see it being looked after properly.

3-5-2

Do we go for it or try to contain them and sneak a win or draw?

Haha! If we ‘go for it’ we’d be massively exposed and thrashed! We need to be solid and take our chances at set pieces and any breakaways.

RR, in your 3-5-2 who are you playing as left wing back?
