I don't rate Leadbitter but Lockyer has done okay at RB and with Turley hopefully signing in a few weeks I don't think we need any extra defenders at the moment. I'm therefore assuming the player we're looking to bring in is a midfielder or a striker.
I like Martin on the left and Monkhouse has improved on the right. We also have Gosling, Sinclair and Harrison who can play out wide so I'd be surprised if we were looking for a winger.
So I'm guessing it's either a central midfielder or a striker.
We definitely need another central midfielder in my opinion. With Lockyer now our first choice right back we only really have Clarke and Mansell. Gosling and Sinclair can play inside but we really need someone quick and comfortable on the ball with a good range of passing to help us dominate that area and create chances. Pretty hard to come by I'm sure but that's what we're lacking.
I still think we're lacking a bit up front too. Brunt has been awful this season and looked well off the pace, other than one good cross yesterday White has done absolutely nothing, Cunnington has done okay but looks slow and immobile and although I do like Taylor he's yet to score.
I still think a midfielder is the priority but if we are to really push on I think we probably need a striker as well.
Personally I'd try and get Brunt and Leadbitter out on loan to free up some wages.

Personally I'd try and get Brunt and Leadbitter out on loan to free up some wages. White has hardly played, Cunnington looks a very good signing and has done better than okay in my book and the goals will come for Taylor. Without a shadow of doubt, a creative mdifielder has to be the priority. |

I actually really want Leadbitter to have a run in the side, think he could be a real asset given time. Lockyer is no right back and imho is a centre half or nothing.

Lockyer has nearly been caught out in both games against FGR and Halifax, and I thought he had a poor game against Telford. I don't necessarily think it's his fault, he's just not a full back who is able to deal with a quick winger. Booked at FGR for a poor challenge on their winger, should have been sent off yesterday for the same thing. I think Leadbitter should be given a chance too, he would at least be able to keep up due to his pace. Trouble is, I get the impression Lockyer is a better technical and defensive player. It's almost as if we've replaced Michael Smith's pace and technical ability, but with two separate players  I'd like to bring in a creative midfielder, give Leadbitter a chance at right-back and use Lockyer as a defensive option in midfield. He was excellent there at times last season, and could be a great option to come on and shore the game up with Mansell. That way, you have lots of defensive cover (including Turley assuming he signs), as well as lots of midfield cover. |

A creative central midfielder or a decent winger

Since Lockyer reverted to RB we've won 2 out of 3 and were unlucky to draw the third. To suggest dropping Lockyer for Leadbitter is madness. Just why we signed him over Higgins is still a mystery.
If Brunt is still struggling then priority must be his replacement/back up, as cover for Cunnington, as surely Taylor, White & Harrison can cover the co-strikers position between themselves.
If Brunt's OK then a creative midfielder in the mould of Halifax's 22, Scofield, would be my preference.
