Rory Fallon's useful, but he probably doesn't want to play in League 2.

I don't mind as long as they can get us up at the first attempt.

A 35 year old who got 17+ goals last season at L1 level would certainly get 20+ at L2 level for the next 2 years at least and would be great to have as a squad player for the younger players.
In L2 experience is better than youth. Just look at Lester for Chesterfield.

No we need to build a team that will get us up and compete in L1. That means getting a strike force that will learn from each other and develop the sixth sense of each other etc. JC was good and ok 17 goals but he is not our answer.

Think we need to look towards new players rather than looking to old legends (not that id turn down Jason Roberts!).
p.s. amazing you can even post before 9am

Old legend or not he is still a 20 goal marksman with one locker full of experience. He's looked brilliant for Exeter this year and dropping down a league will only highlight his qualities even more.
I think it would be a mistake not to sign him. Both top scorers in L2 this year were 30ish+ proving that being young doesnt guarantee you promotion out of this league. We havent had any proper experience for years aside from Campbell and we could do with a couple of old wise heads.
