I don't believe it does stop with Pete, he has bought the players the managers have asked; except for Grigg and he has held up his hands on that one.
Maynard - he clearly wasn't the same player after his injury and the club didn't pick up on that;
Gallagher - a loan player, who had personal issues and a lack of experience showed in the Championship;
Church - as much as Alby likes him. a workhorse with a poor goals record;
Agard - Hot & cold, for our record signing his first touch is poor;
Sow - Yet to do anything meaningful and looks out of his depth, but hasn't has the service required;
McDonald - bought due to Robbos liking of small forwards, should have got Revell;
Hitchcock - the less said the better;
Revell - We finally got Revell and he looked good, but we allowed the Cobblers to get him;
Lowe - did well after a shaky start getting used to one up front and left as soon as he could.
Even with Dan's possession football I believe we either need a striker like Revell or a fast player like Sam, but whoever we get in the future the profile and recruitment needs to be better and we need to provide them with better service ans more clear cut chances.
The managers have brought the strikers in they have asked for, I’m not sure how you can say that, with no evidence.
If managers are told, they can have anyone they like so long as it’s a loan, and they don’t have to pay cash for them, is a bit different.......than having who you like.
You don’t go shopping in Harrods with a pound in your pocket, you generally end up in the 99p store.
The manager has to make his choice with the pittance he has to spend, are you really telling me these managers have all bought dross willingly, when they could have had who they liked......I think it’s more a case of Hobson’s choice
