Quoted from Rob_in_Grimsby
Last season we lost 4 of the first 5 games and we could have got to the playoffs if Bignot had not given up so no I dont think loosing tomorrow is a season ending disaster,
I think we have a better squad than last season just lacking a striker and fit midfielders


We're a 30 goal a season striker down on last year's squad.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I dont disagree but I think we have more chance of getting goals from midfield than last season.

I cant see us getting a 30 goal a season striker now though.

Should have kept Yussef, far better than anyone else we have upfront now.

Not what I said Herts.

Obviously I'm talking about Bogle. Now I know he didn't get thirty but he was certainly on target for that when he left. I was making the point that the squad is poorer in the striker department as a balance to Rob's comment that the squad is better than it was a year ago.

I didn't say it was a must win game. I assume your 'cobblers' is aimed at someone else?

Got it.......... I agree with we are massively short and this coupled with no real creativity in mid field is limiting shots on goal, we are struggling at the moment

Yeah the cobblers comment was aimed at the theory rather than any individual KM . This will be a rocky period and I sense we need to bring in a U23 striker from a big side like we did with the lad from Everton last season at the very least as well as get some of the crocks back before anything changes

Last season Bogle had scored 19 by January. Jones scored 7 between Janand the end of the season. clements scored 4. This shows how crucial Bogle was for us and one of the reasons we faded in the second half of the season after he left. Put simpy he has not been replaced.

I think there's an element of the team needing to settle down, as with any squad that's been overhauled so massively as we have in the last 14 months. Added to which are the sendings off and injuries.

The great thing about this division is that you could get promoted if you finish seventh. You will avoid relegation if you finish 22nd. I'm neither complacent nor a happy-clapper, but there's plenty of time yet.

Problem is how do you replace a million pound player without spending a million pound
