Is Ollie Palmer worth having a look at in January? Always had a pretty decent goalscoring record and seems to have really stepped it up scoring 9 goals and grabbing 2 assists during this season already. Only 18 months left on his contract, a good age at 26 and would be cheaper than most.

Another potential January transfer signing to help remedy our lack of goals could be 20 year old Havant and Waterlooville striker Alfie Rutherford. Really hit the ground running in his first season of National League football with 7 goals from 12 appearances so far including a hat trick against Maidstone the other week.
Teammate Lee Bradbury had this to say about the youngster:
"Alfie again showed what a thorn in the side he can be to opposition defences with his direct running and pace.
Some of the finishing was very clinical. Going out on loan has worked wonders for Alfie.
Sometimes as a player you look at it as a negative thing but I told Alfie when he went it wasn't going to be a long-term thing.
Since coming back he has been a different player both physically and mentally."

I see there is already interest in Yeovil winger Wes McDonald with Bradford, Blackpool and Colchester among the clubs interested in him. Given our pursuit of former Yeovil winger Otis Khan last January, you would imagine he would be on our radar especially as he can leave for free in the new year. Known for his pace and ball control, I'd reckon he'd be a decent signing for us with lots of room to improve at only the age of 21. I know a lot of Yeovil fans that rate him highly.

Harry Forrester is gash by the way Pirate hope your not a real scout if you think he is a good player or Natt Crooks Forrester is decent at this level and scored a wonder goal at our place and was probably the best player on the pitch. I like him, all about opinions. Crooks was class at Accrington, didn't work out at Rangers, did well at Scunthorpe and impressing again this season for Northampton in midfield with 5 goals from 15 games. Speaking of Forrester, he has been left out of every matchday squad for Iranian side Machine Sazi after not featuring for Tractor Sazi following John Toshacks departure from the club and subsequently being loaned out. Now with a move back to England being very much on the cards, could be a good shout for January? I’ve always rated him every time I’ve seen him play and he could definitely do a job for us.

I felt we had too many midfielders but he’s bring the creativity we’re lacking

Matthews can also play on the right but I think he’s better in a central position.

I always thought he was an attacking midfielder when I’ve seen him Can play on the left, right or in the centre, but the majority of his games have been on the wings. He played on the right mostly when he scored against us (see above).

A winger I'd like to see us take a closer look at is 19-year-old Michael Fernandes at Farnborough. He once scored 8 consecutive hat-tricks for Conquest U18 & scored a hat-trick as a trialist for Reading U18s in February 2017. He's scored 5 goals so far this season and got a number of assists. ![](https://i.makeagif.com/media/12-06-2018/4u3Ltf.gif) ![](https://i.makeagif.com/media/12-06-2018/ctv9LQ.gif) ![](https://i.makeagif.com/media/12-06-2018/tpHZTu.gif)

I wonder how much Bennett cost us if we did genuinely turn to him after Khan turned us down, as I doubt Bennett as any sell on value. Although Khan would have been an ideal fit for us this season as he's managed to score just the 1 goal after 2 goals in his first game of the season.

I was never that fussed with either Khan or Bennett. The winger that I'm most enthused about in League Two at the moment, from the limited amount I've seen of him, is Charlie Kirk at Crewe. At 20-years-old he has vast potential and could be worth a few quid in the future if he keeps developing the way he is. Good technique, balance and an improving eye for goal. Callum Ainley is decent there too.

Thought the lad Crawford was very good today and linked the play between midfield and attack and virtually ran the show.

We can wish all we like but two loans is all we are going to get. A couple of 20 year olds with zero first team experience from an U21 set up will be the best we can hope for and will be the final spin of the dice to retain league 1 status. Shameful is the word that comes to mind.

Shameful is the word that comes to mind. 3 or 4 decent loans could make a big impact on this team. Quality from the likes of Elias Sorensen, Stephen Walker, Harry Chapman, Ryan Yates, Danny Loader, Niall Ennis, Rushian Hepburn-Murphy, Aaron Lewis, Sam Hughes, Cian Harries etc.
