Was thinking along that line meself.

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

I have absolutely no evidence re the decline of Billy Kee. I'm just getting a bad vibe and I don't like it.

Normal service will be resumed after he pops in a brace v Crawley no doubt.

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Was our top scorer last season, not to mention all the assists he created and people are already questioning him...Really?

He's been unlucky with injuries this season but I'd 100% rather have a fit Billy Kee playing for me than against!

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Exactly! Leave the fickleness to our friends up the road, one minute it's Bentley out then they win & he's back to being the best thing since sliced bread, bad result yesterday & he's public enemy no.1 again - their forum makes for quite amusing reading when I'm bored

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

I can understand the doubts over Billy. He's still scoring goals for us, but his overall contribution doesnt seem the same as last year. Its not lack of effort but he is getting banged about like nobodies business. Almost every game he goes down needing lengthy treatment for head injuries. And he's not the sort who goes down just so they can have a rest.

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

i,ve said it once i,ll say it again billy needs some big lump up front with him to help him out and to take some of the battering he gets. should be getting more protection from referees but thats another story.

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Perhaps its not the best tactic to play Billy up front on his own then?

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Would love to see Billy alongside a genuine target man.

As to relatively poor form, I don't think he's 100% fit and also this year he hasn't got forward players of the calibre we had last year (Windass,Mingoia and Crooks). I think as a unit we are less convincing going forward.

I'd still take a 90% Billy over Terry.

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Max Hazledine has left by mutual consent!

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Shame but perhaps he's realised he'll only have minimal chances to play in first team & will be better of going elsewhere, good luck to the lad

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Was he one of our young uns out on loan?

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

Even with the squad as it is I still think we can win the league due to our defence.
With a more effective centre of midfield I'd be sure we could win the league. With a better forward line as well I'd be convinced.

Is it just making more use of the players we have, or adding to the team next transfer window?

Re: 2016/2017 Squad ......Signings
 

I'm convinced we can at least make the play offs this season,with the players we got, the defence i reckon is immense this season, the signing of the owd chap will i think make a big difference to our forward play, theres only midfield looks a bit light to me.
