Clean sheet and a point

Fully agree DSLR. Hecky is totally aware of our shortcomings but can't do anything about it until the
takeover is concluded.In Fridays Chronicle he suggests that there is uncertainty over who will be in
charge during the January window and if they will give him any money to spend, means that he cannot
do as much planning for new signings as he would like, or offer new contracts to "star " players.
When asked what plans he had laid, he commented " It's pointless talking or worrying about it.
We will have to wait and see. We're talking about players we want to keep here all the time and more
importantly, players we want to bring in. But we're not in a position where we can do anything about it.
It's just a case of trying to make plans regardless and then see what we can do."
He insists his top priority for next month is a striker. He denied he is looking at Danny Newton 26, who has scored
nine goals for Stevenage. He is still monitoring Oliver McBurnie but said " I don't know whether he's gettable but we
are watching him. He's been doing well scoring goals for Swansea's Under 23's and has also played for the first team.
All we can do, is keep tabs on him and make sure, if anything is going to happen, we are in the mix.
He seems resigned to losing Yiadom, but with McCarthy, Pearson and Fryers and fit again Cavare he is quite relaxed
that we've got sufficient cover at full back. On Cavare he says " Dimi has ticked all the boxes in terms of the return to play
programme. He's fit and ready to go and now I am judging him like any other player."

 

Glad Sunderland beat Fulham - we have a nasty habit of halting people's bad runs. Hull at home - classic example
