Strong rumours suggest Rovers are signing the 23 year old striker from Waterlooville. Had spells as a youth player at Dorchester before £40,000 move to Brighton Had loans at Sligo and Galway as well as Sutton United. Scored regularly for Havant plus scored their goal after losing 2-1 in play off semi against Dartford. Powerful and plenty of potential. Could be a natural partner for JCH.

Seems like a big step up to be first choice partner for JCH.

I'm expecting big things from Daly next season, with JD and JCH starting.
Can't recall being this far from season start with so many players coming in.
My concern is right back and creation in midfield.

If we want to challenge then we need that midfielder but istr GC saying last summer that that position was one he was trying to fill and he failed to get it filled. UTG!

Isn’t this what Josh Barrel is for? The way I see it, creative midfielder depends on formation and strategy. 5 (WG) 2 1 2 the advanced midfielder would be the prime creator, the two behind holders, ball winners water carriers. Similarly, 4 2 3 1 middle of the three a number ten the two behind ball winning, water carrying, in South American football one of them screening. hence Josh Barrel number 10 in both those formations, almost like enganche

Nice if we could get a good ball player and good at challenging for it.

The Reading forum wrote well of Josh, let’s give him a chance eh, after a real pre season, he could well be a better and certainly fitter player

Tackling to win the ball is a dying art these days.

Nice if we could get a good ball player and good at challenging for it. that’s basically what I think we all agree on, blend of ball winners and ball players, unlikely to get a Stokes type footballer excelling in both. The question then, where in the formation plays the prime creator, the ball player, the killer ball merchant? And there it’s not the formation but the strategy. You wouldn’t be playing Ozil for his tracking back, pressing and tackling game. If you played Ozil at all you’d play him in the hole? If you you look at the two formations in my previous post, that’s where I put Josh Barrel. However, same two formations, but change strategy. The advanced central midfielder becomes a support striker, not a top killer ball player but a presser a box getting iner a finisher, so one of the two in front the defence becomes a deep lying playmaker. The guy whose going to top the passing stats and key passes whose actually going deeper to look for the space to receive it, not further up field. This is this the strategy I prefer, but can Josh barrel play there? If we wanted this strategy who would currently be our DLP?

Another thing to blame Blatter for. blatter. Yes. Into Swiss from Latin blaterare, to strike often and noisily. But also to add it’s what the ladies have wanted from us all along, not just to go sliding in or ungainly from the rear, but make it last all evening not just to the last set of adverts before the second half begins. I am in the back yard drinking cider so when I stop making good sense, let me know.
