Forza, I'll accept that tenner wager, if we have a better goal difference come end of the season you lose and visa versa if Lincoln's is better....think the charity should be chosen by a neutral tho..


Done! Any ideas on the charity folks?
Ps I will add £25 if either Robles or cardwell gets 10 or more league goals

Akinde got injured at the start of the season and was rushed back before it fully cleared up according to the Barnet forum. He was playing catch up in a struggling side so no real surprise things turned out how they did. I doubt we would take a risk on a player if his injury was still likely to be an issue going into this season.


Don't get me wrong, I think he's a terrific signing for you. I'm just saying there's an elemt of risk considering the cost of the deal, his injury and form last season.

However, if he can recapture the form of previous years then he will almost guarantee 20+ goals a season.

Where do you see Rhead fitting in now? Will he be sold on do you think?

Of course it's a risk, any signing is a gamble. The bigger the fee the bigger the risk, but I am hoping that is countered by the fact that Akinde has generally played lots of games in his seasons since getting his break at Alfreton.

As for Rhead, you may all laugh but he has come back at least a stone lighter and looking fitter. Now that Akinde has signed I see MR as more of a bench warmer to bring on as a sub like Mansfield used to do well when they had him. I can't see Rhead getting in ahead of Akinde or Green regularly, then there's also Andrade who is smaller and very quick, I can see him getting into the side ahead of a Rhead as well.

I've always been a keen supporter of wish upon a star charity if that's an option.
