Will Adkins Bring in New Faces and if so Who?

[David Strover]

In celebration of my £5 spent I have started probably my one and only thread.

 

Does the panel think Nigel Adkins will attempt to improve the squad (not should he but will he) and if so who do we reckon it might be?

 

I know this is very open ended but I have no clue and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the topic.

fast, pacey winger, Brian Stock and a fast centre forward!

Le Fondre had been in his sights whilst at Scvnthorpe.

 

As seen here:

He seems to have a good eye for a striker, so I would be very surprised not to see one loaned very soon. We also need pace out wide, more so on the right and a decent midfielder!

 

I would think he will address that quickly.

He's already brough in a player/assistant. Even though he's 7 I would expect Andy Crosby to play at CB for Adkins to steady things while we finally get going.

why? Is he better than Fonte, Martin, Jaidi and Seaborne?

[Toomer]

There might be a couple of players already on the radar in the loan market from APs time which NA, NC, & DW will talk about, if they are what Adkins think we need who knows.

I'm not sure. But he would be a direct link from the new manager to his new squad on the pitch. It would make sense on a few levels.

 

I'm not saying I would like to see him in ahead of Martin or Fonte, but I could understand how it could happen.

[Colinjb]

Duplicate post.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

I wonder if he'll favour Mills at lb/lm having worked with him at Scunny.

[Channon's Sideburns]

If he does put Crosby in at CB, move Fonte into Central Midfield......and that solves that problem.

I'm all for blooding young playes, but this is silly.

[jasoneuelllfanclub]

IMO he wont make any loan signings until after Saturday's game. Even though we know we are in desperate need of a striker and a pacy winger NA will give all the players a clean slate. It wouldn't be good for morale to bring in new players straight away. He needs to be seen giving all the players a fair chance. Then if he gets a couple of loans in after that then no one can really argue.

Unless Crosby was not registered as a player at Scunny then he cannot play for us. As a player he would still be subject to transfer rules. I note from the Scunny site that he has not played this season, so maybe he has retired as a player. All references on OS are to him being assistant manager only.

[Saint_clark]

If he drops one of Fonte and Martin for 37 year old Andy Crosby I will be p*ssed off already.
