January 2023 Transfer Rumours

barnes would be a nightmare for any defence to mark is really good in the air too 
a good option to bring on when you need a goal 
reminds me of charile austin as been mentioned 
yes hes a bit past it but knows this league like adomah does 

Boro already looked the form team and flying towards a top 6 finish... looks odds on now.

Cameron Archer is a young striker who could be anything. When loaned to Preston he managed 7 goals in 20 games but the season prior he was loaned to Solihull and managed just 6 goals in 29 games.

The talk of us signing Ashley Barnes is interesting. We need a striker (young or old) that can finish. Barnes like Dykes is more of a target man who works hard but rarely scores. Both Barnes and Dykes records show they will return a goal around every 4 games. In fact Barnes record is slightly worse than Lyndon's because he actually needs around 4.3 games for each goal.

However, if you compare the scoring record of Barnes to someone like Tyler Roberts (a goal every 8 games) then he would seem a decent addition.

Where I struggle is having to bring in another loan signing to replace an earlier loan signing who we can't send back.

It is not just Jamal Lowe in his medical who is breathing in at this point.....

True, but he's also not a very, very naughty boy jimjams! 

I see him as someone to play just in front of Dykes so he offers a focus point for his passes and headers, as well as getting on the end of decent crosses. So, I guess that means either 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. The alternative is to play him up front alone in Dykes position, but I do not see enough confidence in the side at present to serve a single striker properly.
