Don't think it's a case of us letting Quigley slip through the net, there is clear imbalance in the squad. Don't see the point in having a loan striker taking up a space in the squad, when we can't defend for toffee, we keep getting over run in midfield and when the team do get there foot on the ball there's no one in there who can seem to pick a pass, so no supply.

"let him slip through the net", when we us he couldn't even find it!! (Ok once).

I think with better service, which he will surely get at Wrexham, he will score goals. He was mostly expected to play a lone striker role for us and he hasn't had enough experience to fill that role. We shall see ....... Good luck to Joe, anyway.

I liked Joe but it was probably the best decision for him as a player to go back to Bournemouth, whenever we sign a striker the first thing we do is wikipedia and check out his goals/apps, playing in a team that gives hardly any service up top makes him look worse than he is. I'd take him back on loan after January when we're in the top half of the table and we've got some decent delivery into the box.

unfortunately I don't think we'll be able pick and choose like that Russian! I fear he'll do well at Wrexham

No4 you're right, beggars can't be choosers and we are definitely close to being vagabonds.

Wrexham would be a good fit for him at the moment I think, if quite far from his parent club!

Rene Howe doesn't seem to have a club at the moment if Wiki is up to date.
