I feel our biggest problem this season has been at the back. We've shipped a lot of goals we shouldn't have done (even when Jamie Stuart was at the club). I do think we've got the pace up front if we can keep Charles (whose going to be a fantastic player for us if he continues to develop) and Azzer. I also agree about getting Gash.HiHoRushden&Diamonds wrote:I think we need genuine center backs, Huke and Corcoran can do a job there but it's not really their natural position. A bit of height at the back would be good as well.
The midfield seems alright to me at the moment and does not really need a lot of change IMO, I hope we can get Gash on a permanent basis and hopefully a bit of pace up-front.
I'm not sure Southend would let a prospect like PC-H go but that would be great if it did happen. Byrne would be a dream signing.Mad Dog wrote:I do feel Paris Cowen Hall may be one to look at. He's had those injuries that have plagued him but he may be considered a gamble to get him back on track and help us out as well.
Another player, if there is any chance of getting hold of him, has to be Mark Byrne. We may have a chance since he knows the club, Justin, many in the squad and had a fantastic time here. It would also allow us to rotate if need be in the midfield, to freshen things up against different opponents.
Lucky then that they don't have him. ;)Sara Pascoe wrote:I'm not sure Southend would let a prospect like PC-H go but that would be great if it did happen.

By the looks of his injury record, that could work in our favour in terms of them releasing him and the possibility of him signing here.Mad Dog wrote:The thing is he's on non contract terms there until the end of the season and they'll be looking to shed a load of players. It depends upon if they're prepared to keep hold of him or try to retain some of their more established players.
With his injury record can we take the risk of signing him :?DiamondEejit wrote:By the looks of his injury record, that could work in our favour in terms of them releasing him and the possibility of him signing here.Mad Dog wrote:The thing is he's on non contract terms there until the end of the season and they'll be looking to shed a load of players.

Given the current situation with us, I think we'd struggle to get any kind of fee together if they aren't out of contract. However, if the share issue works well enough to create a transfer budget as it was aimed to, I think Stevenson would be a fans favourite to sign!BartonRaz wrote:The thing with Stevenson & Marks is we've no idea if they are out of contract, and we can offer them full-time football. Of course some footballers are happy being part-time with other jobs, and Braintree/Marks will be in BSP next season in all liklihood.
