With Jake Robinson up front I don't see it as weaker, sorry.

Pleased with this - it appears to be for the rest of the season, which is good.

He was "on fire" earlier in the season and generally the reaction on the Shrewsbury boards is one of surprise/disappointment. He appears to have plenty of talent and (this season at least) an eye for a goal - but I would still like to see a genuine target man added to the squad.

Matt.

Frogs leg eating Frenchman sounds better.

No need to apologise Dave. It's all about opinions. But i do think we'll be weaker, and that is why i'm so annoyed about it.

We'br got rid of Wroe, Benyon, Hemmings and likely to dump Macklin.

Robinson in, Stanley in, both sets of fans gutted by their departures, and with a couple of other targets playing well for their respective clubs I say we're going to be stronger. Would you seriously disagree with that?

Will he be any better up front on his own than Benyon? 5ft 9 and 11st, surely not much different to Benyon regarding size and height, and I can only imagine we'll be a far weaker side than we would be with Benyon up front.

If Buckle plays Kee with him then fair enough I guess

Hopefully he's physically stronger than Benners. That was the problem for Elliot in this formation, defenders were too strong. We either need to revert to 4-4-2 again, or Robinson has some strength about him..

Is that the same Macklin that we've just signed on a long-term deal? Bucks does seem to change his mind quickly.

We've disposed of 2 first-team players and a loanee, and replaced them with 2 loanee's. No, i don't think that does make us stronger.

Do keep up !

He's very similar to benyon i think. Just a tad quicker. I'm pleased with this, we are a selling club, and both Benyon, and Wroe supposedly have been replaced suitably. Well done Bucks.

Indeed. And despite not playing to his strengths, he scored 14. I wonder how he'd have fayred with a partner? Perhaps Robinson will be awarded that luxury.

Sorry CP, I had it open, but I opened too many tabs and 'pooter went wibble.

Thanks though.

Matt.

Since when was 5foot 9 short?
I don't feel that we are worse off at all, I'd feel better about the loans if there was a possibility of making things more permanent if things work out but I'm quite pleased.

Yep he did, Shane. However, alot of those goals (if not all) of them were down to him getting in the right position at the right time. I can't recall him scoring one that wasn't a tap in this season (happy to be corrected though), and maybe Robinson has a bit more holding the ball up about him, and more threat in the air.
