I know that I'm going to get accused of hitting the mulled wine too soon from some on here, but I've been thinking of how we could possibly bolster the squad in light of the recent news regarding pitch renovations and the costs involved. Other teams will soon be adding to their squads in preparation for the second half of the season. We have quality running deeper than previously, and I realise Jim has identified a certain profile that he wants in his players. However, in my humble opinion, I fear that nice footballers with polite footballing etiquette both on and off the pitch are not necessarily going to get us over the line. Other teams have players and managers within their ranks who have that bit of mongrel about them. Who is going to hold the ball up in the corner with a couple of minutes to go in order to secure the points? Who is going to get into the referee's face to question a dubious decision? Who is going to get a grip of an opposing player and put the fear of God into them? Don't be mistaken in thinking that I'd prefer a team of hard men and cloggers. But, perhaps, an experienced free agent like Quigley might be the difference needed. He's a year older that EEL.....knows the club and the league.....a big unit who can hold the ball up......good in the hair......chips in with goals...a pantomime villain type who opposing fans would warm to......and a man that I certainly wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. Thoughts please....... [Post edited 29 Nov 8:57]

We will always be near the top of the fair play league as we are a possession based team that likes to control matches. The only bookings you’d expect us to pick up regularly are stopping breakaway attacks. Doesn’t mean we are soft, just that we’re dominating the ball, and you can’t give fouls away if you’ve got control of the ball! |
Ok.....let's possibly look at this another way......a forward who has a different skill set to those rhat we already have.....think Stones (York) who bullied EEL into making x2 mistakes which resulted in x2 goals conceded. You don't have to be an absolute thug to bully opponents......just a more 'physical' player with a bit of presence.! [Post edited 1 Dec 18:17]
