Re: January Window
I totally agree with what you say about Ben Woods and Dan Martin, Greger, and hope we can keep all the loan players. I also agree that Josh Woods is not suited to the “lone striker” role. Neither was Tommy Leigh last season.
But, I don’t believe Josh Woods is playing as a “lone striker”, certainly not the way Lowe, or Andrews try to play it, and I think the team are playing much better as a consequence.
Since the Crewe game I’ve really enjoyed watching Stanley. They are faster, and offer a more varied attacking options. This is, imho, down to the young players like Messrs Woods, Martin, O’Brien, and Henderson.
Not having a “cart horse” striker has required a different approach and one that is not only better to watch but, thus far, more successful
The return on the 5 games since Crewe, with Josh Woods, has been DWLDW with 8 pts from 15. The previous 5 league games produced LWLLD with 4 pts from 15.
Realistically, Stanley cannot “out bid” any other team for a proven striker but, as the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention.
