Lenny is never a goalscorer in a million years but due to his workrate in comparison to his team mates I can`t see why he is the boo boys favourite target either personally? Lenny totally frustrates me at times  and I would have dropped him numerous times over the past 2 Seasons but Hannah would have been treat just the same I think they are a bloody awful pair and both usually look much better paired with another!

He scored, who the intercourse cares, the fact that we have not spent to find him a decent partner is the issue. Pittman has the ability but was always a fitness concern, if we had the budget to pay a decent fee for a striker we would be right up there. The budget is competitive for the play offs but is not for a title winning squad, we are short of where we need to be but a bit more investment in the squad at the start of the season would have seen us mount more of a challenge. I still fancy us for the play offs but I can't see why PH is getting stick about not getting a striker when for me if quality money was made available for a quality striker then I'm sure we would have no trouble finding one.

What puzzles me is the way he struck that penalty was 1st class,

BUT

When having a shot on goal in normal play he always seems to mishit it.

Quoted from GrimRob


Yes I backed us to lose along with a few other teams. That doesn't mean I think we will lose. For every game I estimate the odds and compare with the bookies. I back wherever I think there is value. Anyway I won quite a bit on other bets today.


Me and my two lads have a six selection accumulator every week, We have backed Town to win on occasions and lost.
We have backed Town to draw on occasions and lost.
We have never backed Town to lose and never would.
We feel it's morally and principally wrong to. We want Town to win every game they play.

totally disagree.

you could have the best striker in this league and paul would still either drop him or ruin him.

paul cannot complain about budgets or fees for strikers , he has had since pre season to bring in a striker but hasn't.

I feel we have the players to be a lot better than were we are now and im afraid all the messing about paul does with the squad and his overall managerial skills are not up to the job.

tbh I don't think it is so much now about paul getting stick for not bringing a striker in its more about the fact he is drawing or losing games we shouldn't be even without a top quality striker in this league.
